Warning light (red)
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (E)
will light up to show that the appliance is on.
If the temperature warning light (D) 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.
Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a
thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum cold
Position 6 = maximum cold
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 20 kg of
fresh food.
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
When you first start the freezer or after a period of
non-use, push in the fast-freeze button (B) to the
SUPER position 2-3 hours before you want to freeze
your food (the yellow light (C) 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
appliance's two top compartments; if freezing only a
small amount of food, use the top compartment. In
the first compartment, products must only be stacked
up to the mark on the cell so as to ensure that air
circulation is not obstructed.

Room temperature
l How often the door is opened
l How much food is stored
l Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control
setting all these factors have to be considered and
some experimentation may be necessary.
To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat
control to the higher numbers; to obtain a higher
temperature turn the control to the lower numbers.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.
You should never freeze more than 20 Kg. of
fresh food at anyone time.
For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.

Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze push button to
the «OFF» position; the yellow light (C) goes off.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other
compartments, so that the two top compartments
can be used for a further freezing operation. Only
freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned
foodstuffs.
To accomodate large items (i.e. a turkey) the two
middle drawers may be removed to make use of the
appliances full volume.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is
already frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer
door remains closed.

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.
PR172
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 your freezer in the shortest possible
time (a temperature increase of the frozen food
could shorten its storage period).
To remove the drawers, proceed as follows: pull the
drawer out until it comes to a stop, then tilt it upwards
(see figure).
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.
PR001c
Ice lollies, 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 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.

Cold accumulator
The freezer contains one cold accumulator which can
be found in the top compartment. The cold
accumulator increases storage times in the event of
a power cut or breakdown. It must be placed on top
of the food.
Removal of this unit will increase the capacity of the
fast freezing compartment but will reduce storage
times in the event of a power cut or breakdown.
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.
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 food. 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
■ 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.
possible.
■ Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
■ Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen.
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty
food, salt reduces the storage time.
■ 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 freezer as soon as possible).
■ Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and
provide an airtight seal.
■ Do not store food uncovered.
■ The best way to defrost food is to put it in the

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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ The foods to be frozen must be fresh and of the
best quality.
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".
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly.
Keep the scraper for future use.
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 (A) 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.).

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
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.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs
during defrosting may shorten their
storage life.
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.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off
frost from the evaporator as you could dam-
age the appliance beyond repair.
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.
