Allow the freezer to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the temperature setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the freezer. It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the freezer is switched on after it has been out of use. The thermostat recalls the previously set temperature. --18 * ACTION FREEZE * ACTION FREEZE * ACTION FREEZE Temperature inside the freezer To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C or below. Please note, however, that the energy consumption increases as the temperature decreases. The built-in temperature display shows the warmest temperature inside the freezer. If the temperature is measured using a thermometer, put it between the products since this will reflect the real temperature in the frozen products. It is normal that the built-in temperature display shows a temperature slightly above that measured in other ways. Alarms and other features Door open alarm If the door remains open for more than about 1,5 minute, the red indicator lamp starts flashing and you will hear an audible alarm sound. To switch off the alarm: Press the alarm shut-off button. As long as the door remains open, the audible alarm will repeat at 1-minute intervals. The red indicator lamp goes out when the door is closed. --18 12 * ACTION FREEZE Temperature alarm If the temperature rises above -12°C, the red warning lamp flashes you will hear and an audible alarm sounds. The temperature display will then start to flash. To switch off the alarm: Press the alarm shut-off button to switch off the audible alarm. The temperature display will stop flashing. The red warning lamp goes out when the temperature inside the freezer again falls below -11°C. Find out what caused the alarm. See the chapter "Something not working". --11 Temperature memory The temperature memory shows when an alarm has been triggered in the freezer. The temperature memory operates as follows: When the temperature inside the freezer again falls below -11°C the audible alarm stops. The temperature display and the red warning lamp will flash to indicate than an alarm was triggered. When the alarm shut-off button is pressed, the display then displays the warmest temperature inside the freezer during the alarm phase and the display stops flashing. By referring to the temperature display indication, it is possible to decide whether or not to discard the products inside the freezer. At about -12°C: Most food products can be immediately re-frozen. Ice cream is especially sensitive to temperature changes and should be consumed as soon as possible. At -9° - -2°C: Food products should be prepared (cooked) prior to eating or re-freezing them. However, always check the quality of the food yourself to determine if it can be frozen or if it must be discarded. --18 Switching off --18 Switch off the freezer by pressing the power switch. Keep the button pressed for approx. 1 second.

A 13 * ACTION FREEZE Practical advice on freezing D When freezing products, use the top shelves. - When freezing large amounts of food/provisions, the accumulator moves to on top of the food. - Do not cover the air hole on the rear wall. D Spread out the products as much as possible to allow air to circulate between them. D Do not place food products which are to be frozen directly against other frozen food. The temperature of the unfrozen food may cause the frozen food to thaw on the surface. D Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put them as close as possible to each other. The food will then stay cold longer in the event of a power failure. D Do not freeze too much food at the same time. The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in the specifications section. Check that the freezer is operating and keeps the set temperature one day after switching it on for the first time. Only after then should the freezer be used to freeze fresh foodstuff. Thawing Suitable storage periods It is best to thaw foods in refrigerator. Place the foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food, place it in room temperature or in cold water. When using a microwave oven to thaw foodstuff, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the advice on the maximum storage period indicated on the packaging. Fresh food frozen at home: Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food and berries can be kept for approximately one year. Freezer interior Freezer drawers Freezer drawers ensure finding foods will be quick and easy. For optimum storage all fittings except the facia flaps and the lowest drawer can be removed. All drawers can be filled with foods up to the indicated loading levels. Cold accumulator Always keep the cold accumulator inside the freezer, it will keep the food cold for longer after a power failure and ensures the Freezer runs more efficiently. The cold accumulator will be most effective when placed on the top shelf. When freezing large quantities of foods move the accumulator to the top of the food to be frozen. Ice cubes Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice tray. If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry out and the taste is affected. Thus, throw away old ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed. Removable shelves There are the removable shelves inside the freezer. Remove the shelf when large food products need to be frozen. 14 Hints & Tips on Freezing Food Storage D Avoid buying frozen food if you can not store it straight away. The use of an insulated container is advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen food in the freezer immediately. D 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. D Remove suspect food from you refrigerator and clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance. 15 Maintenance and Cleaning You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before carr ying out any cleaning or maintenance work. Removing the ventilation grill The ventilation grill can be removed, e.g. to wash the grill. Make sure the door is open when removing the ventilation grill. Unsnap the upper edge of the grill by pulling outward/downward. Then pull the grill straight out to completely remove it. Cleaning Clean the freezer at regular intervals. Don't use detergents, abrasive powders, high perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol when cleaning the product Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply. Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0,5 litre water) Rinse and dry thoroughly. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris. Wash the outer freezer with warm soapy water. Remove the ventilation grill (see above) and vacuum-clean under the cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (grill) 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 moving the freezer, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor. Defrosting Defrosting is not necessary. Every 24 hours, the evaporator is defrosted automatically. To change the light bulb G4 UV-blocked This freezer is fitted with a clear halogen light bulb. The light is switched on automatically when the door is opened. If the bulb fails and needs to be replaced; disconnect the power from the freezer. Cut the packaging containing the new bulb. Keep the packaging on to hold the bulb when setting it into the socket. Do not touch the bulb with your bare fingers. Halogen light bulbs are sensitive to grease from the skin. 20W/12V Low pressure When the appliance is not in use Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply. Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells. If the freezer is to be left on, ask somebody to check it regularly to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure. 16 Something Not Working If your Freezer is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force agent. IMPORTANT: If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee. Symptom " " is displayed in the temperature display. Audible alarm + flashing red warning lamp. (The temperature inside the freezer is too high.) It is too warm inside the freezer. It is too cold inside the freezer. Too much frost and ice are produced. The compressor operates continuously. The freezer does not operate at all. Cooling or interior light does not operate. No indicator lamps light. Power failure Solution D Please contact your local the John Lewis extended warranty administrators, see service and spare parts page 17. D Switch off the audible alarm by pressing the alarm off button. The audible alarm could have been triggered by: The freezer having been recently switched on and the temperature still being too high. See the chapter "Switching on and setting the temperature". D The door may have been open for so long that the `door open' alarm was triggered. D Set a lower temperature. D Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the insulating strip is complete and clean. D If warm food products have been put inside the freezer, wait for a couple of hours and then check the temperature again. D Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate around them. D Set a warmer temperature. D Fast Freeze could have been switched on. D The temperature display shows the highest temperature inside the freezer. Thus a difference between the temperature indicated on the display and the (average) temperature measured in another way is normal. D Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the insulating strip is complete and clean. D Set a warmer temperature. D Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the insulating strip is complete and clean. D The freezer or power socket is not switched on. D Power does not reach the freezer. (Try connecting another electrical device to the power outlet.) D The fuse has blown. D The power plug is not properly inserted into the socket. D Do not unnecessarily open the freezer, except when the power cut seems to be long, in which case the food products should be moved to another freezer that works. If the frozen products are still hard following the power cut, they may be immediately refrozen. If the food products have thawed but are still fresh, they may be used, however they should be prepared before re-freezing or eating them. 17 Sound level in freezer is too high. D The refrigerating system will always produce some sounds. A pulsing sound; A ticking sound and The sound level. A pulsing sound is heard when coolant is pumped inside the cooling pipes. A ticking sound from the thermostat can be heard when the compressor switches on and off. The sound level varies depending on the operation of the freezer. If you feel the sound level is incorrect: D Make sure the pipes at the back of the freezer not touch each other. Carefully bend them if they do. D If the cushion spacers (between the freezer wall and pipes) come loose, put them back in place again. D Carefully follow the instructions in the chapter "Installing the cabinet". If after above checks there is still a fault contact the John Lewis extended warranty administrators, see below for details. In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.
