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).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.
Starting your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (D)
will light up to show that the appliance is on.
However, the alarm indicator light (E) will also light
up until the freezer reaches the correct temperature.
Temperature control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by
the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet (A).
To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control beyond the ÇOÈ position.
When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you
turn the thermostat control to a medium setting,
between 2 and 4. 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.
However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable
room conditions such as poor ventilation, high
temperature and frequent door openings, it may be
necessary to select a more suitable setting. To
obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat
control to a higher number; to obtain a higher
temperature turn the control to a lower number.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 13 kg of
fresh food.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of
non-use, slide the fast-freeze switch (B) to the left
(fast freeze position) 2-3 hours before you want to
freeze your food (the yellow light (C) illuminates).
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze
switch should be activated about 24 hours before
freezing fresh food. 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 top compartment of the freezer as this is the
coldest part.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the
ÇOFFÈ position; the yellow light (C) goes off.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other
compartments, so that the top compartment can be
used for a further freezing operation.
The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the best
quality.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is
already frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer
door remains closed.
Frozen food storage
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 Ç fast
freezeÈ mode before storing frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
