When the food is frozen, switch off the fast freeze function.
The fast freeze function automatically switches off after 36
hours..
Using the Appliance
This appliance is designed for domestic use
only, specifically for storage of edible foodstuffs.
The Temperature alarm may sound if a lot of new food is put
into the freezer, due to a rise in temperature. The alarm will
switch off automatically, as the freezer temperature drops.
Push the alarm button to switch off the audible signal.
This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures
(surrounding air temperature) between 10°C (50°F) and 32°C
(90°F).
If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, the
appliance may not operate correctly.
Frozen Food storage
The freezer will store frozen food at -18°C or colder allo-
wing for long term frozen food storage and freezing of
fresh food.
Before Use
Remove all transit packaging.
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a lit-
tle bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not
use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the applian-
ce thoroughly.
Pre packed commercially frozen food should be stored in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions for a 4 star
frozen food compartment and should be put in the freezer
as soon as possible after purchase. Your freezer provides
for long-term storage which generally means up to 3
months but the length of the time can vary and it is impor-
tant to follow the recommended times shown on packets of
commercially frozen food.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polis-
hes or products containing alcohol.
Starting the Appliance
1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.
Refrigerator Compartment
This compartment is designed to store drinks and fresh
food. The inner temperature is normally uniform and is
kept cool by cold circulating air. Try to avoid putting food
products flush against the air vents at the back of the frid-
ge as this could cause the foods to freeze.
2. Insert plug into mains socket. Within 20 seconds the elec-
tronics carry out a system test and switch the appliance on.
The ON/OFF button lights up in green, the interior lighting
comes on and the appliance starts working.
Starting up when the appliance is switched
off:
Fresh Compartment
Press the ON/OFF button continuously for 3 seconds. The
appliance will start operating after a 4 minute delay and the
internal light will switch on. The ON/OFF button will illumi-
nate.
The temperature is kept typically at 1-2 degrees lower than
the average temperature in the fridge. Use the compart-
ment for foods that are marked typically for storage at 0-
5°C for longer preservation. Adjusting the fridge tempera-
ture to cooler or warmer affects the chiller temperature in
the same way. Avoid stacking large amounts of warm food
on top of already cold food, as this will raise the tempera-
ture of the food previously stored in the fresh box. Do not
use the fresh box, as a zone for rapid cooling at it is not
designed for this.
The temperature alarm (a beeping sound) may come on
during the start up phase. If this happens push the tempe-
rature alarm button.
3. Set the thermostat controls for the fridge and freezer com-
partments. See Control Panel section.
4. To ensure safe food storage, allow the appliance to opera-
te with the doors closed for at least 3 hours, before loading
with food.
Freezer Compartment
The freezer will store frozen food at -18°C or colder allowing for
long-term frozen food storage and freezing of fresh food.
Freezing Fresh Food
The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours
is shown on the rating plate and in the technical specifications
section of this instruction book.
When freezing fresh foods, press the fast freeze button 3 hours
before placing the food into the freezer compartment.

Food Storage
Energy Saving Advice
•
Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated
and labeled and used in date order to ensure
that food is consumed at its best.
•
•
Do not install the cabinet close to sources of heat,
such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room
and make sure that the air openings of the cabinet
are not obstructed.
•
•
•
Remove suspect food from your fridge freezer
and clean, refer to ‘Maintenance and Cleaning’.
Do not put any newly introduced food for free-
zing near to already frozen food
•
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by pac-
king all foodstuffs into airtight packages before pla-
cing them in the freezer.
Food and drinks, which have a strong odor,
may affect other foods and drinks if not stored
correctly.
•
•
Always leave warm food to cool down to room tem-
perature before placing in the fridge or freezer.
Food that is to be frozen (when cool) should be pla-
ced in the fridge before being transferred to the fre-
ezer.
In the Event of a Power
Failure
If there is a power failure during the storage of fro-
zen foods, keep the door closed. If the temperatu-
re within your freezer should rise do not refreeze
the food without checking its condition. The follo-
wing guidelines should assist you.
Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruit and Vegetables: If soft should be cooked
and used up.
•
•
Do not put any hot food into the fridge or freezer.
Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure
safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of the
refrigeration unit.
•
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
switch on unnecessarily often.
Bread and Cakes: Can be refrozen without dan-
ger.
•
•
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up
quickly.
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrige-
rated and used up.
To obtain the best results from your appliance, neit-
her hot foods nor liquids, which may evaporate
should be placed in the larder compartment.
Large Pieces of Meat: Can be re-frozen providing
there are ice crystals remaining within them.
Small Joints: Should be cooked and then re-fro-
zen as cooked dishes.
•
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.
Chicken:
Should be cooked and re-frozen as a fresh dish.
•
•
Keep the time between buying chilled food and pla-
cing it in your fridge as short as possible.
Do not push food together too much; try to allow air
to circulate around each item.
•
•
Do not store food uncovered.
Wrap the food up properly or place it in airtight con-
tainers before putting it into the fridge freezer.
