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 cooling

plate/evaporator or 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 ÕclickÕ when the thermostat cuts in

and out.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with one or more trays for

ice-cubes trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand

and place them in the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight

twist.
Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove

the trays from the freezer.

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.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the

refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat

can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must

ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through. 
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling

water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in

the oven in their aluminium wrapping. 
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing

any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the

oven instructions, particularly regarding the

placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in

the oven.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen. 

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 two top

compartments of the freezer as these are the coldest

parts.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take

up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the

ÇNÈ position; the yellow light (D) goes off.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other

compartments, so that the top compartments can be

used for a further freezing operation.
- The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the

best quality.

- 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 Çfast

freezeÈ mode before storing frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the

manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it

open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Warning

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in

the freezer compartment.
Water ices, 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

Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ.

Important

In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will

not be affected if the power cut is short and if 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 .

INSTALLATION

Positioning

This appliance is designed to operate in ambient

temperatures between 10¡C (50¡F) and 32¡C (90¡F).

It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of

direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature

e.g. not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold

room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may

fall below 10¡C (50¡F). If these temperatures are

exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance

may not operate correctly.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely

around the back and the top of the cabinet. There

must also be at least 100 mm (4Ó) distance between

the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen

furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be

positioned beneath overhanging furniture (B).
There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of

the appliance. Do not obstruct the space

underneath. The back of the cabinet may be placed

close to the wall but must not touch it. DO NOT

install in places with restricted ventilation.
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the

adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet

using your fingers.

Warning

IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE

THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR,

YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE

UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN

BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.
Depending upon the position which you choose for

your appliance, you may wish to reverse the way in

which the door opens. To do this, refer to instructions

on ÒDoor reversal directionsÓ paragraph.

Rear spacers

In the bag with the documentation, there are two

spacers which must be fitted as shown in the figure.
Slacken the screws and insert the spacer under the

screw head, then re-tighten the screws.

Important

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from

the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be

easily accessible after installation.
