Instruction for use
We recommend that you check the temperature
with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the
storage compartments are kept to the desired
temperature.
Remember you must take your reading very
quickly since the thermometer temperature will
rise very rapidly after you remove it from the
freezer.
Please remember each time the door is opened
cold air escapes and the internal temperature
rises. Therefore never leave the door open and
ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in
or removed.
Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the appliance check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect
levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at
the rear.
3. The interior is clean as recommended under
"Clea
ning and care.”
4. The plug has been inserted into the wall socket
and the electricity is switched on. When the door
is open the interior light will come on.
And note that:
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts
up. The liquid and gases sealed within the
refrigeration system may also make some (noise),
whether the compressor is running or not. This is
quite normal.
6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is
quite normal due to the manufacturing process
used; it is not a defect.
7. We recommend setting the knob midway and
monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance
maintains desired storage temperatures (See
section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is
switched on. Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached. We recommend
checking the temperature with an accurate
thermometer (see; Temperature Control and
Adjustment).
Storing frozen food
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage
of commercially frozen foods and also can be
used to freeze and store fresh food.
If there is a power failure, do not open the door.
Frozen food should not be affected if the failure
lasts for less than 19 hrs. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and either eaten
immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
Freezing fresh food
Please observe the following instructions to obtain
the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time.
The quality of the food is best preserved when it is
frozen right through to the core as quickly as
possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 h.
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment
causes the refrigeration machine to operate
continously until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the
refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food, to reach the best
freezing capacity, put the setting knob to
maximum position 24h before placing it. After
freezing the knob can be set to the initial position.
Small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be
frozen without adjusting the temperature control
knob.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food
and fresh food.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place
it in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a spoon
handle or a similar implement; never use sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks.
