Using the Appliance  
This appliance is designed for domestic use  
only, specifically for the storage of edible  
foodstuffs.  
The appliance is designed to operate in ambient  
temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between  
10 °C and 32 °C.  
If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or  
warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly.  
Should the ambient temperatures be exceeded for  
long periods, the temperature in the freezer section  
will rise above -18 °C and food spoilage may occur.  
Before Use  
Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash  
inside the appliance with lukewarm water and  
bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not  
use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry  
thoroughly.

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 door. Should  
the food begin to thaw it must be consumed  
quickly and must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and  
Tips)  
The Freezer  
Freezing fresh food  
The 4-star compartment (  
term storage of commercially frozen food (i.e. for 3  
months, unless otherwise stated by the  
manufacturer), and for freezing fresh food.  
Under normal circumstances, to freeze fresh foods it  
is not necessary to change the setting of the  
thermostat knob with respect to the normal running  
position.  
However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the  
thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember  
that, in this condition, the refrigerating compartment  
temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs  
reset thermostat knob to a warmer setting.  
To help you make the most of the freezing  
process, here are some important hints:  
Place the food to be frozen on the shelf.  
The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in  
24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate.  
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned,  
foodsuffs.  
Prepare the fresh food in small portions to enable it to  
be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it  
possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity  
required at the time.  
Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and  
make sure that the packages are airtight.  
) is suitable for long  
Do not remove items from the freezer if your  
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin  
abrasions or frost/freezer burns.  
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.  
To Make Ice Cubes  
)
1. Fill the ice cube tray ¾ full with cold water, place  
in the freezing compartment and leave to freeze.  
It is advisable to show on the single food packet the  
freezing-in date to enable you to keep track of the  
storage time.  
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which  
is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of  
the latter.  
2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it  
under running water for a few seconds.  
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to  
the freezer compartment by using pointed  
or sharp edged objects.  
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.  
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.

Hints & Tips  
Normal Operating Sounds  
Energy Saving Advice  
Do not install the appliance close to sources of  
heat, such as a boiler or radiator.  
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds  
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or  
tubing.  
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated  
room and make sure that the air openings of the  
appliance are not obstructed.  
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being  
pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or  
pulsating noise from the compressor.  
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by  
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages  
before placing them in the freezer.  
A thermostat controls the compressor and you will  
hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and  
out.  
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should  
be placed in the fridge before being transferred  
to the freezer.  
Food Storage  
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long  
periods or opening the door too frequently as  
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the  
compressor to often switch on unnecessarily.  
To obtain the best performance from your freezer:  
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid.  
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the  
door from closing properly.  
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.  
In the Event of a Power Failure  
If there is a power failure during the storage of  
frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the  
temperature within your freezer should rise, do not  
refreeze the food without checking its condition.  
The following guidelines should assist you:  
Do not push food together too much, try to allow air  
to circulate around each item.  
Do not store uncovered food.  
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.  
Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded.  
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and  
used up.  
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food,  
salt reduces the storage time.  
Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.  
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up  
quickly.  
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing  
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and  
provide an airtight seal.  
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be  
refrigerated and used up.  
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.  
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.  
Chicken: Should also be cooked and refrozen as a  
fresh dish.

Maintenance and Cleaning  
Before any maintenance or cleaning is  
carried out you must DISCONNECT the  
appliance from the electricity supply.  
Internal Cleaning  
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and  
bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).  
Rinse and dry thoroughly.  
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.  
External Cleaning  
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.  
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille)  
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 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 door open to  
prevent unpleasant smells.  
Defrosting  
Refrigerator  
The refrigerator defrosts every time the compressor  
stops. The water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray  
located at the back of the appliance above the  
compressor, where it evaporates.  
Important  
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,  
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the centre  
of the V shaped drip collector at the back of the  
refrigerator compartment, behind the salad drawers.  
Use a piece of flexible curtain wire for this purpose.  
11

Freezer  
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 reaches 6 mm (¼”).  
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.  
For complete defrosting (once or twice a year)  
proceed as follows:  
1. Disconnect the appliance from the mains.  
2. Remove any food from inside the freezer, wrap it in  
several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool,  
dry place. Ensure that the fridge door is not  
opened to protect the food in the refrigerator while  
defrosting the freezer.  
3. When defrosting is complete, dry the interior  
thoroughly.  
4. Reconnect the appliance to the mains, set the  
thermostat control knob to the maximum setting.  
Leave the appliance to run for at least two hours.  
5. Replace the previously removed food.  
6. Return the thermostat control knob to a medium  
setting.  
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.  
How to change the bulb
