Cleaning before use
Wipe the inside of the Freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water
using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash the baskets and shelves in warm soapy water and dry completely
before replacing in the Freezer. The external parts of the Freezer can be cleaned with wax polish.
Before plugging in YOUMUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the Freezer.
Before
switching on!
DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL FOUR HOURS AFTER MOVING THE FREEZER.
The coolant fluid needs time to settle. If the appliance is switched off at any time, wait 30 minutes before
switching back on to allow the coolant fluid to settle.
Before filling your Freezer
Before storing foods in your Freezer, turn the Freezer on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is working
properly and to allow the Freezer to fail to the correct temperature.
Switching on your Fridge/Freezer
1 Before connecting the Fridge/Freezer to the mains supply position. TheThermostat control dial is
located inside the Fridge compartment.
2 Turn the thermostat knob to the
“
3
”
position and turn on electricity. Thecompressor and the light inside
the refrigerator will begin to work.
3 Wait 24 hours before placing food into the Fridge/Freezer, thetemperature inside your Fridge/Freezer
will then be cool enough to chill and freeze foods sufficiently.
Adjusting the temperature
The temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartment is controlled by the temperature controller
installed on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment. We strongly recommend you use a freezer
thermostat to check that the temperature is below -18 centigrade before loading any food. This can take 2
- 3 hours.
2. The marks on the knob are the temperature grades, NOT the exact degrees of temperature.
“

”
is
“
OFF
”
and
“

”
represents the lowest
temperature.
3. Please start with the knob set to position
“

”
. Use a suitable thermometer to check the temperature
after two hours. The
refrigerator temperature should be set b2
º
C and +5
º
and the freezer will vary between -18 and
-25 degrees centigrade over a typical cycle. To reduce the refrigerator temperature turns the knob
towards
“

”
and check after one hour.
NOTE:
The Fridge/Freezer may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or cold
room or if you open the Fridge/Freezer door too often.
Fast Freeze
1. Fast freezing makes water in the food form into fine ice crystal, so as to prevent the cell membrane
from being damaged and the cytoplasm from being lost when thawing, thus preserving the original
freshness and nutrition of food.
2. Fresh food and fish to be preserved for a long time should be frozen in a fast manner. To realize fast
freezing, please adjust the knob switch to mode "7" before adding the food.
3. After fast freezing, turn the knob back to its original mode (In general, the fast freezing time shall not
exceed 4 hours).
IN USE
1. The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature
becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the
cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed
2. The fact that the internal temperatures could be affected by such factors as the location of the
refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature and the frequency of door opening, and, if appropriate, a
warning that the setting of any temperature control device might have to be varied to allow for these
factors
3. The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in
low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be
consumed too cold
4.The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of
food
5. The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or
cleaning could shorten the storage life
6. It is better wrapping the frozen food in several layers of the glass shelves.
7. the care required with regard to frozen food in storage in the event of an extended non-running of the
refrigerating appliance (interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system)
