Operation

Before

Use

Remove

all

packaging

and

securing

tapes.

Wash

inside

the

appliance

with

lukewarm

water

and

bicarbonate

of

soda

(5ml

to

0.5

litre

of

water).

Do

not

use

soap

or

detergent

as

the

smell

may

linger.

Dry

thoroughly.

Starting

the

Appiiance

Insert

the

plug

into

the

wall

socket.

The

green

pilot

light

will

illuminate

to

show

that

the

appliance

is

switched

on.

Thermostat

Control

The

temperature

within

the

freezer

is

controlled

by

the

thermostat

situated

on

the

lower

front

of

the

cabinet.

To

operate

the

freezer,

proceed

as

follows:-

Turn

the

thermostat

control

beyond

the

‘O’

position.

When

you

first

start

the

freezer

we

suggest

that

you

turn

the

thermostat

to

a

medium

setting

ie

3-4

0

=

Off

1

=

Lowest

setting,

minimum

cold

7

=

Highest

setting,

maximum

cold

Allow

the

freezer

to

run

for

several

hours

before

placing

food

inside.

Do

not

fill

the

freezer

to

more

than

5mm

below

the

top

edge.

Opening/Closing

the

Lid

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.

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:

1.

T

urn

the

thermostat

to

the

coldest

setting

‘7’

6-24

hours

before

placing

the

food

in

the

freezer.

2.

Place

the

food

in

the

freezer

and

leave

the

thermostat

at

‘7’

for

a

further

24

hours.

3.

After

24

hours,

return

the

thermostat

to

the

normal

setting.

E

l

f

the

thermostat

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

at

the

coldest

setting

‘7’

before

storing

frozen

food.

Do

not

exceed

the

storage

period

indicated

by

the

manufacturer.

Do

not

open

the

door

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

and

must

not

be

re-frozen.

(See

Hints

and

Tips)

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.

Hints

&

Tips

Normal

Operating

Sounds

•

You

may

hear

faint

gurgling

or

bubbling

sounds

when

the

refrigerant

is

pumped

through

the

coils

or

tubing.

•

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.

Food

Storage

To

obtain

the

best

performance

from

your

freezer:

•

Do

not

store

warm

food

or

evaporating

liquid.

•

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.

•

Do

not

store

food

uncovered.

•

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.

•

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

quality.

Partially

thawed

food

must

not

be

refrozen,

it

must

be

consumed

within

24

hours.

Never

exceed

the

storage

times

indicated

by

the

manufacturer.

Energy

Saving

Advice

•

Do

not

install

the

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

compressor

to

switch

on

unnecessarily

often.

•

Ensure

there

are

no

obstructions

preventing

the

lid

from

closing

properly.

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:

Ice

Cream:

Once

thawed

should

be

discarded.

Fruits

&

Vegetables:

Breads

&

Cakes:

Can

be

refrozen

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

refrozen

providing

there

are

still

ice

crystals

remaining

within

them.

Small

Joints:

Should

be

cooked

and

can

then

be

refrozen

as

cooked

dishes.

6

Chicken:

Should

also

be

cooked

and

refrozen

as

a

fresh

dish.

Defrosting
