of plug use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type
and proceed as follows:

Remove the fuse cover and fuse.

Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.

Reﬁt both into plug.

Important: The fuse cover must be reﬁtted when

changing a fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug

must not be used until a correct replacement is ﬁtted.
Correct replacement is identiﬁed by the colour insert or
the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are available from your local

electrical store.

Connection to a rewireable plug

If the ﬁtted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet,
then is should be cut off and disposed of in order to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into
a 13A socket elsewhere. A suitable alternative plug
should then be ﬁtted to the cable. The wires in this

mains lead are coloured in accordance with the follow-
ing code; BLUE - neutral (“N”) BROWN - live (“L”)
GREEN AND YELLOW - earth (“E”)

The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected

to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the
letter “E” or by the Earth symbol or coloured green or

green and yellow.

The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal

which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured
black.

The BROWN wire must be connected to the

terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or

coloured BROWN or RED which is connected to
the fuse.

INSTALLATION

___________________________________________

To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to
reduce energy consumption, it is important that the
appliance is installed correctly.

Ventilation

The compressor and condenser generate heat and,

therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with

no ventilation are not suited for installation of the

ppliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with

an opening (window or French window) that provide the
appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also
important to install it in a free humidity room.

During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct

the grates that allow for proper ventilation of the
appliance.
For proper ventilation of the appliance, leave a space of

at least 10 cm between the sides of the appliance and
any adjacent cabinets/walls.

Away from Heat

Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is

directly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or
the like.

Electrical and Earth Connection

The appliance should not be turned on right after

transportation. Two hours is the advised time so that

the oil from the motor-compressor gets back to its

original position. Before proceeding with the electrical

connection, make sure that the voltage indicated on the

rating plate, corresponds to the mains voltage in your

home and that the socket is ﬁtted with a standard earth
wire in accordance with safety standards. If the socket
is not ﬁtted with an earth wire, the manufacturer will
not be held liability for any damages and or injuries

arising out of the use of the appliance. Do not use

multiple sockets or adapters. Position the appliance in
such a way that you can access the socket where it is

plugged in.

Electrical power

The electrical socket must be able to handle the maxi

mum power load of the appliance, which is indicated on

the rating plate located in the back of the appliance.

optimum performance and to save energy.
Some models may not have all the functions described.

EFFICIENT USAGE OF THE
APPLIANCE

___________________________________________

Tips on freezing

Remember that you should never refreeze products you

have allowed to thaw, even if only partially. Once

thawed, cook the food, then either eat (within 24 hours)
or refreeze it.

Tips on packaging

For the best storage and thawing, remember to freeze

small portions. This will ensure rapid and uniform

freezing.
Mark package with a description of the contents and
the date it was frozen. Never freeze more food than
that allowed by the maximum freezing capacity indicat

ed on the data plate which is located on the back of the
freezer.
To freeze food, make sure that the red light is off. Then
place the food to be frozen into the freezer, making sure
that it is placed, to the furthest extent possible, in direct

contact with the side walls of the deepest part of the

freezer and not in contact with food that has already
been frozen. Proper storage depends on the speed at
which the food is frozen. For this reason, we recom

mend that the switch should be turned to the “Super”

(if present) setting 24 hours before the food to be
frozen is placed inside the freezer.
Avoid opening the freezer door during the freezing

process.

Placing substantial amounts of fresh food in the appli

ance may temporarily raise the temperature within the

freezer (the red light may turn on). Since this is a

temporary situation, it will not compromise the storage

of the food that has already been frozen.

Attention

: Do

not forget to change the temperature setting if you
want to avoid useless wastes of energy.

In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open
the freezer door. This will help maintain the tempera

ture inside the freezer, ensuring that the goods are

conserved for at least 20 hours.

Do not place full bottles in the freezer because liquids
increase in volume when they freeze and this could
cause the bottles to burst.

Tips on storage

For best storage of fresh-frozen and frozen foods, do
not set the thermostat knob below

Min

, regardless of

the ambient temperature of the room where the freezer

is installed.

For ambient temperatures of up to 25°- 27°C, the
thermostat knob should be set between

and

, while

for temperatures up to 32°C the setting should be
between

and

Follow the instructions on the packages of frozen foods

scrupulously.
If none are provided, do not store the food for more
than 3 months from the date of purchase.

When purchasing frozen food, make sure that they have
been stored at the proper temperature and that the
package is properly sealed. When purchasing frozen

foods, it is best to transport them in appropriate
containers to keep them cold and then place them in the
freezer immediately.
If the package is damp on the outside or is abnormally
swollen, it is likely that the package was stored at an
inadequate temperature and the food has deteriorated.

ENERGY SAVING

___________________________________________

Install the Appliance Correctly

This means that the appliance should be installed away

from sources of heat or direct sunlight, in a well venti-
lated room.

Correct Temperature Settings

Set the freezer temperature knob to one of the medium

settings. Very low temperatures will not only consume a

great deal of energy, but will neither improve nor

lengthen the storage life of the food.

Shut the Doors

Open your appliance only when strictly necessary –

every time you open the door most of the cold air will be

lost.
In order to restore the correct temperature, the motor
will have to run and consume energy.

Check the Door Seals

Keep the seals clean and pliable so that they ﬁt closely

against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.

Avoid Frost Build-up

Remember to check the sides of the freezer for frost.
When the frost becomes too thick, defrost the freezer

immediately (See, “

Maintaining the Appliance

”).

MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE

___________________________________________

Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning
off the general switch in your home)

Defrosting

WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration
circuit.

It is a good idea to remove the frost build up inside of

the appliance from time to time.

Make sure not to use pointed metal objects to do so as

this could result in piercing the refrigeration circuits,

causing irreparable damage to the appliance. Use a

not-pointed tool in plastic material.

To defrost the freezer completely (which should be

done once or twice a year), disconnect the appliance
from the power supply and leave the door open until all
the frost has melted.

The freezer is equipped with a system to drain the

water from the defrosting procedure. Simply, place a

container in the position indicated in ﬁgures

. To

speed up defrosting, one or more pots of warm water

can be placed inside the appliance.
While defrosting the freezer, it is a good idea to wrap
the food taken from the freezer in several layers of

paper and place it in a cool place. Since the temperature

of the frozen food will inevitably rise, it is best to
consume it quickly as its storage life will have been

shortened.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The inside of the freezer should be cleaned on a periodic
basis after it has been defrosted. Only use a water and
bicarbonate solution to clean the appliance.
Do not use abrasive cleaning products, detergents or
soap. After the inside has been cleaned, rinse well with

clean water and dry carefully.

Once the appliance has been cleaned, turn on the

appliance, following the instructions in

Setting Up Your

Appliance

Changing the inside lamp bulb

To change the bulb inside the appliances that are
equipped with internal lighting, remove the bulb cover
situated on the inside wall of the door by pushing the
ends of thecover indicated in ﬁgures

. Replace the

old bulb with a new one of no higher than 15 W.

When not in use

Should the unit not be used for a long period of time (for

example during the summer holidays), disconnect the
plug from the mains and leave the door open to avoid
the formation of mould and unpleasant odours after
completing the defrosting and cleaning operations.

TROUBLESHOOTING

___________________________________________

The green light is off

Check if:

• There is power to the unit;
• The main power switch to the house is on.

The red alarm light is always on

Check if:

• The door is closed properly and the seal is still OK;

• The door is being opened too often;
• The temperature knob is on the right setting;
• There is too much frost build-up.

The motor runs constantly

Check if:
• The freezer is levelled;
• The appliance has been installed between cabinets
that vibrate and make noise;
• It is the noise made by the refrigerant, which occurs

even when the compressor is off (this is not a defect);
