Description of the Appliance  
A - Knob of temperature regulator  
B - Compartment for frozen food storage and freezing fresh foods

A minimum clearance of 12 cm is required behind  
the chest freezer to allow adequate clearance for  
the lid to open to its full extent.  
Operation  
Before Use  
Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash  
inside the appliance with lukewarm water and  
bicarbonate of soda (5m1 to 0.5 litre of water). Do not  
use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry  
thoroughly.  
The lid is not counter balanced and should be in the  
fully open position (passed the 90 degree upright  
position) or supported by the user when gaining  
access to the freezer, otherwise there is a risk of  
the lid falling closed again presenting a risk to the  
user.  
Do not force the lid past its fully open position  
otherwise damage could occur to the lid or hinge  
arrangement.  
Starting the Appliance  
Insert the plug into the wall socket.  
Switching on freezer box  
Close top of freezer box installed in accordance with  
specifications down then connect equipment with  
mains as specified above. At this time electric  
components inside will be energised.  
Adjust knob of temperature regulator in centre with  
rotating clockwise. After a weak clicking cooling  
compressor will start together with slight vibration  
and noise.  
Freezing Fresh Food  
It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer  
is frozen quickly and that the food already in the  
freezer is heated as little as possible.  
If more than 3-4kg of food is to be frozen:  
Turn the thermostat control knob to the coldest  
setting  
The freezer will now run  
continuously, creating a sufficient reserve of the  
temperature required.  
TEMPERATURE CONTROL  
The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is  
maintained in the freezer. Turning the thermostat button  
towards “ ” makes the temperature in the freezer  
colder, and turning the button towards “ ” makes the  
temperature warmer. The correct setting can be found  
by measuring the temperature of the top package in the  
middle of the freezer. This should not have a  
temperature higher than –18°C.  
Turn the thermostat control knob 6-24 hours  
before placing new food in the freezer,  
depending on how much food is to be frozen.  
Place the food in the freezer and leave the  
thermostat set at “ ” for about 24 hours more.  
Then turn the thermostat control knob back  
again. The freezer will return to normal storage  
temperature.  
If the thermostat control knob is  
accidentally left at the coldest setting  
the freezer will not be damaged, but  
energy will be wasted.  
Frozen Food Storage  
When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has  
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run  
your appliance for at least 2 hours before storing  
frozen food.  
Opening/Closing the Lid  
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the  
manufacturer.  
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to  
prevent moisture entering the freezer, increasing the  
amount of frost formed.  
When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer  
becomes slightly warmer and expands. When the lid is  
closed again the air is cooled immediately. This may  
lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard  
to open the lid again immediately. This is quite normal.  
Wait for a few minutes until the vacuum has subsided  
and then open gently. Never use excessive force on  
the handle.  
Top has closed and opened position. Movement over  
open position of top (about 95°) can cause damage.  
Do not open the lid frequently or leave it open  
longer than is necessary.  
Important  
Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.  
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal  
from the freezer can cause a low temperature  
skin burn.  
Do not remove items from the freezer if your  
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin  
abrasions or frost/freezer burns.  
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer  
will not be affected if the power cut is short and  
the freezer is full. Do not open the lid Should the  
food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly  
Important  
Care should be taken when opening the lid of the  
freezer.

and must not be re-frozen.  
(See Hints and Tips)  
quality. Partially thawed food must not be  
refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.  
Never exceed the storage times indicated by the  
manufacturer.  
Thawing  
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can  
be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature,  
depending on the time available. Small food items may  
even be cooked from frozen, in this case cooking will  
take longer.  
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally  
should either be eaten as soon as possible, or thrown  
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not  
been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then  
refrozen.  
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.  
Defrosted cooked food must never be  
refrozen.  
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be  
placed in the fridge before being transferred to  
the freezer.  
Hints & Tips  
Try to avoid keeping the lid open for long periods  
or opening the lid too frequently as warm air will  
enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to  
switch on unnecessarily often.  
Normal Operating Sounds  
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds  
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or  
tubing.  
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the  
lid from closing properly.  
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being  
pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or  
pulsating noise from the compressor.  
In the Event of a Power Failure  
If there is a power failure during the storage of  
frozen foods, keep the lid closed. If the temperature  
within your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the  
food without checking its condition. The following  
guidelines should assist you:  
A thermostat controls the compressor and you will  
hear a faint `click' when the thermostat cuts in and  
out.  
Food Storage  
Ice cream:  
Once thawed should be  
discarded.  
If soft should be cooked  
and used up.  
Can be refrozen without  
danger.  
Should be refrigerated  
and used up quickly.  
To obtain the best performance from your freezer:  
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid.  
Fruits & Vegetables:  
Breads & Cakes:  
Shellfish:  
Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it  
straight away. The use of an insulated container is  
advisable. When you arrive home, place the frozen  
food in the freezer immediately.  
Do not push food together too much, try to allow air  
to circulate around each item.  
Cooked Dishes:  
i.e. casseroles should be  
refrigerated and used up.  
Do not store food uncovered.  
Large Pieces of Meat: Can  
be  
refrozen  
providing there are still  
ice crystals remaining  
within them.  
Should be cooked and  
can then be refrozen as  
cooked dishes.  
Should also be cooked  
and refrozen as a fresh  
dish.  
Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and  
labelled and used in date order to ensure that food  
is consumed at its best.  
Small Joints:  
Chicken:  
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food,  
salt reduces the storage time.  
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing  
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and  
provide an airtight seal.  
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of  
refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate  
that the product has not been kept at a suitable  
temperature and that it may have lost its original

Defrosting  
Maintenance and Cleaning  
The freezer compartment will become progressively  
covered with frost. This should be removed with a  
plastic scraper whenever the thickness of frost  
exceeds 1 /4".  
Before any maintenance or cleaning is  
carried out you must DISCONNECT the  
appliance from the electricity supply  
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 perform this operation when the  
appliance is empty.  
Internal Cleaning  
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water  
and bicarbonate of soda (5m1 to 0.5 litre of water).  
Rinse and dry thoroughly.  
To carry out complete defrosting:  
)
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.  
1. Disconnect the freezer from the electricity supply.  
2. Remove any stored food, wrap in several layers of  
newspaper and store in a cool place.  
3. Leave the lid open.  
4. To accelerate the defrosting process place a bowl  
of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and  
close the lid.  
5. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior  
thoroughly.  
6. Turn the thermostat control back to a medium setting  
between 3-4 and leave to run for at least 2 hours.  
7. Replace the previously removed food.  
External Cleaning  
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.  
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 lid open  
to prevent unpleasant smells.  
Important  
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during  
defrosting may shorten their safe storage life.  
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from  
the evaporator as this could damage the appliance  
beyond repair.
