Energy Saving Advice

Do  not  install  the  appliance  close  to  sources  of

heat, such as a boiler or radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room

and  make  sure  that  the  air  openings  of  the

appliance are not obstructed.
Avoid  unnecessary  frosting  in  the  cabinet  by

packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before

placing them in the freezer.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be

placed in the fridge before being transferred to the

freezer.
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.
Ensure  there  are  no  obstructions  preventing  the

door from closing properly.

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  its  condition.

The following guidelines should assist you:

Ice Cream:

Once thawed should be discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables:

If soft should be cooked and

used up.

Breads & Cakes:

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 refrozen providing

there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

Small Joints:

Should be cooked and can then be

refrozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken:

Should also be cooked and refrozen as a

fresh dish.

enance & Cleaning

enance & Cleaning

Before  any  maintenance  or  cleaning  is

carried  out  you  must  DISCONNECT  the

appliance from the electricity supply.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and

bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.

NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders,

highly perfumed cleaning products or wax

polishes to clean the interior as these will

damage  the  surface  and  leave  a  strong 

odour.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille)

and the compressor at the back of the appliance with

a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust

will affect the performance of the appliance and cause

excessive electricity consumption.

When the Appliance is not in

Use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,

disconnect  from  the  electricity  supply,  empty  all

foods  and  clean  the  appliance,  leaving  the  door

open to prevent unpleasant smells.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment will become progressively

covered with frost. This should be removed with the

special  plastic  scraper  provided  whenever  the

thickness of frost exceeds 6mm (

¼

”).

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  peform  this  operation

when the appliance is empty.
