•
This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperature between 16°C and 38°C� If these
temperatures are exceeded, i�e� colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly�
If the ambient temperatures are exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer
section will rise above -18°C and food spoilage may occur�
•
Remove all packaging materials from the appliance� Wash the inside of the cabinet with
lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0�5 liter of water)� Dry the appliance
thoroughly�
•
When you use the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, set the thermostat control
to the maximum position for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored,
and then readjust to the normal position�
•
If there is a power failure, do not open the door� Frozen food should not be affected if the failure
lasts for less than 12 hours� If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen�
The temperature of the freezer is controlled with a thermostat knob from MIN (less cold)
MID (intermediary) and MAX (coldest)
SETTING THE THERMOSTAT KNOB
Allow at least 10 cm of space at the top and 10 cm of space
on both sides of the appliance and between the back of the
appliance and the wall for adequate air circulation� The appliance
is not designed for recessed installation (“building in”)�
Install on a good firm level surface, and any unevenness
of the floor should be corrected prior to installation, slight
unevenness can be overcome by adjusting the front feet�
NOTE:

When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging� You will be able
to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4 star rating�
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing
alone does not improve the food�
Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer�
Prior to freezing the food, food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed in
plastic bags or stored in airtight containers� This will prevent food from dehydrating and to prevent
any strong odors of some foods transferring to milder ones�
To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in airtight containers and place on the lowest shelf
to avoid cross contamination�
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods� For safety, only store raw meat for
two or three days�
NOTE:
The ambient temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened affect
the temperature in the refrigerator� If required, change the thermostat temperature settings�
