Start your appliance

Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light

➂ will light up to show that the appliance is on.

Temperature control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet

.

To operate the freezer proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat control beyond the « ■ » position.

When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control to a medium setting. For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.

The internal temperature of the freezer is automatically adjusted by the thermostat to ensure safe food storage. However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable room conditions such as poor ventilation, high temperature and frequent door openings, it may be necessary to select a more suitable setting.

To obtain a colder temperature, turn the thermostat control towards max.; to obtain a warmer temperature turn the control towards min.

Warning light (red)

If the temperature warning light

➃ lights up, it indicates that the temperature within the freezer has reached a level where safe food storage is no longer ensured.

When the freezer is first switched on, the warning light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a safe level for the storage of frozen food.

Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 12 kg of fresh food.

When you first start the freezer, or after a period of non-use, slide the fast-freeze switch

➀ to the left

(fast freeze position) 2-3 hours before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light

➁ lights up).

If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze switch should be activated about 24 hours before freezing fresh food. This time can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in the top compartment of the freezer as this is the coldest part.

5

Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the

«OFF» position; the yellow light

➁ goes out.

Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartment can be used for a further freezing operation.

Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs.

Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen.

During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.

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.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Frozen food storage

When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food.

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, we strongly recommend that you make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the consumer in the shortest possible time (a temperature increase of the frozen food could shorten its storage period).

It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period indicated by the producer of the food.

Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.

Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in 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”.

If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen food, do not open the door during the whole time of the power failure. If the freezer is fully loaded, the frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is recommended to consume the food within a very short time.

Ice making

Fill the ice tray with water to the top of each ice cube compartment, and place it in the freezer. To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length. Never use a sharp instrument to remove ice from the tray.

Normal operating sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the fixed freezer shelves.

When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.

A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.

Health and Safety Guidelines

Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods. This together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and storage of food is even more important than ever.

The following tips should help you to ensure that the food in your home is in as perfect condition as possible.

Keep the freezer door closed as much as possible.

Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.

Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do

NOT place in the freezer until cool. (Leave food in a cool place in order that it can then be placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible).

Do not store food uncovered.

The best way to defrost food is to put it in the refrigerator to thaw slowly.

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.

It is important that food is used before its “best before” date.

Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry them with a clean towel before handling food.

Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross contamination by not using the same work surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly in between.

The foods to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality.

The size of each pack should be small enough to ensure that it is used in one go. Small packs freeze more quickly and uniformly and give better results.

Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen.

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 airlight 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 quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.

Never exceed the storage time indicated.

■ Never place hot food, bottles or cans of fizzy drink in the freezer as they may explode. Containers with a lid must not be filled to the brim.

■ Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in the freezer next to food which is already frozen as this could cause the temperature of the frozen food to rise and its quality and storage life to reduce.

DEFROSTING

The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4".

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 carry out this operation when the appliance is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:

1. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.

2. Turn the thermostat control to the «O» setting.

3. Leave the door open and insert the plastic scraper in the special location to act as an extension channel; pull out the drawer to collect the defrost water (see Fig.).

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.

Keep the scraper for future use.

Turn the thermostat control to a medium setting between 2 and 4 and push in the «fast freeze» control knob. After letting the appliance run for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode, replace the previously removed food into the compartments.

Do not forget to release the «fast freeze» control knob when you replace the food in the freezer.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their storage life.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage the appliance beyond repair.

Important

In the event of a power failure causing the temperature within your freezer to rise, do not re-freeze 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 re-frozen 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 re-frozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be re-frozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a cooked dish.
