position.  
Open door acoustic alarm  
When you first start the freezer, we suggest that  
you turn the thermostat control to a medium  
setting. For easier turning of this control, use a small  
coin.The internal temperature of the freezer is  
automatically adjusted by the thermostat to ensure  
safe food storage.  
This appliance also incorporates an alarm which  
sounds if the door is left open for more than 60  
seconds.The signal will be stopped when the door is  
closed again.  
However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable  
room conditions such as  
- poor ventilation,  
- high temperature,  
- frequent door openings,  
it may be necessary to select a more suitable  
setting.

Frozen food storage  
Before using  
Remove all securing tapes.Wash inside the appliance  
with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml  
to 0.5 litre of water).  
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has  
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run  
your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast  
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.  
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,  
we strongly recommend that you make sure that the  
commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately  
stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that  
these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the  
foodstore to the consumer in the shortest possible  
time (a temperature increase of the frozen food  
could shorten its storage period).  
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell  
may linger. Dry thoroughly.  
Freezing fresh food  
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 18 kg of  
fresh food.  
Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast-freeze  
switch (4) 24 hours before you want to freeze your  
fresh food, the yellow light (3) illuminates.  
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period  
indicated by the producer of the food.  
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it  
open longer than is absolutely necessary.  
If the quick-freezing function is not ended manually,  
the appliance switch off the quick-freezing function  
after 52 hours.The yellow light goes out.  
This time can be shortened, depending on the  
quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has  
elapsed place the food to be frozen in the two top  
compartments of the freezer as this is the coldest  
part; if freezing only a small amount of food, always  
use the top compartment.  
Once the food is completely frozen (which could  
take up to 24 hours) press the fast freeze switch to  
deactivate the fast freeze mode; the yellow light (3)  
goes off.  
Warning  
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in  
the freezer compartment.  
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal  
from the freezer, can possibly result in a low  
temperature skin burn.  
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands  
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or  
"frost/freezer burns".  
If there is a power failure during the storage of  
frozen food, do not open the door during the whole  
time of the power failure. If the freezer is fully  
loaded, the frozen food will not be affected if the  
power cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is  
recommended to consume the food within a very  
short time.  
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other  
compartments, so that the top compartments can be  
used for a further freezing operation.  
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned  
foodstuffs.  
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is  
already frozen.  
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer  
door remains closed.  
14  
 
Thawing  
Making ice cubes  
The appliance is provided with one or more trays  
for ice-cubes trays.  
Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in  
the fridge or at room temperature depending on the  
time available. Small food items may even be cooked  
from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.  
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to  
expand and place them in the freezer compartment.  
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw  
accidentally should either be eaten as soon as  
possible or thrown away.Alternatively, if the food is  
uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it  
can be cooked and then refrozen.  
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight  
twist.  
Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove  
the trays from the freezer.  
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the  
refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat  
can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must  
ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.  
Normal Operating Sounds  
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds  
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils  
or tubing at the rear, to the cooling  
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling  
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in  
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.  
plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.  
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is  
being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring  
sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.  
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for  
thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food:  
follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding  
the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers  
in the oven.  
• A thermostat controls the compressor, and you  
will hear a faint ’click’ when the thermostat cuts  
in and out.  
Defrosted cooked food must never be  
refrozen.  
15  
 
Hints andTips  
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long  
periods, or opening the door too frequently as  
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the  
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.  
Food Storage  
To obtain the best results from your appliance,  
neither hot foods nor liquids which may  
evaporate, should be placed in the larder  
compartment.  
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the  
door from closing properly.  
• Keep the time between buying chilled food and  
placing it in your fridge as short as possible.  
In the Event of a Power  
Failure  
If there is a power failure during the storage of  
frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the

temperature within your freezer should rise do not  
refreeze the food without checking it’s condition.  
The following guidelines should assist you.  
• Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and  
clean, refer to ‘Maintenance and Cleaning’.  
• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated  
and labelled and used in date order to ensure  
that food is consumed at its best.  
Ice Cream:  
Once thawed should be discarded.  
Fruit andVegetables:  
If soft should be cooked and used up.  
Bread and Cakes:  
• Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it  
straight away.The use of an insulated container is  
advisable.When you arrive home place the  
frozen food in the freezer immediately.  
Can be refrozen without danger.  
Shellfish:  
Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.  
Cooked Dishes:  
i.e. casseroles, should be refrigerated and used up.  
Large Pieces of Meat:  
Can be re-frozen providing there are ice crystals  
remaining within them.  
• The symbols on the drawers show different  
types of frozen goods.The numbers indicate  
storage times in months for the appropriate  
types of frozen goods.Whether the upper or  
lower value of the indicated storage time is valid  
depends on the quality of the foods and pre-  
treating before freezing.  
Small Joints:  
Should be cooked and then re-frozen as cooked  
dishes.  
Energy Saving Advice  
• Do not install the cabinet close to sources of  
heat, i.e. boiler or radiator.  
Chicken:  
• Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated  
room and make sure that the air openings of the  
cabinet are not obstructed.  
Should be cooked and re-frozen as a fresh dish.  
• Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by  
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages  
before placing them in the freezer.  
• Always leave warm food to cool down to room  
temperature before placing in the fridge or  
freezer.  
• Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should  
be placed in the fridge before being transferred  
to the freezer.  
• Thaw frozen food in the fridge.This will ensure  
safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of  
the refrigeration unit.

Maintenance and Cleaning  
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried  
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the  
ELECTRICITY supply.  
Defrosting  
The freezer compartment will become progressively  
covered with frost.This should be removed with the  
special plastic scraper provided, whenever the  
thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4".  
Internal cleaning  
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water  
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).  
Rinse and dry thoroughly.  
During this operation it is not necessary to switch  
off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.  
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the  
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried  
out and it is advisable to carry out this operation  
when the appliance is empty.
