Before using

Remove all 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.

Start your appliance

Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (C)

will illuminate to show that the appliance is on.

Control Panel

A. Fast freeze control knob

When you place fresh food in the appliance, turn the

fast freeze control knob to ÒSÓ.

B. Thermostat control knob

Turn the thermostat control clockwise to required

setting, which is normally between 3-4.

C. Pilot light

The operation light is illuminated continuously, to

show that the appliance is on.

D. Fast freeze light

The fast freeze light is illuminated, to show that the

fast freeze function is working.

E. Alarm light

If the alarm light (E) illuminates, it indicates that the

temperature within the freezer has reached a level

where the safe food storage is no longer ensured.
When the freezer is first switched on, the alarm light

will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a

safe level for the storage of frozen food.

Temperature control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by

the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet.
To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control beyond the ÇOÈ position.
When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you

turn the thermostat control to a medium setting,

between 3 and 4. For easier turning of this control,

use a small coin.The internal temperature of the

freezer is automatically adjusted by the thermostat to

ensure safe food storage. 
However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable

room conditions such as
- poor 

ventilation, 

- high temperature, 
- frequent door openings, 
it may be necessary to select a more suitable

setting.
To obtain a colder temperature, turn the thermostat

control to the higher number; to obtain a warmer

temperature turn the control to the lower number.

Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 20 kg of

fresh food.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of

non-use, turn the  fast freeze knob  to ÇSÈ 24 hours

before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light

(D) illuminates).
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze

knob should be activated about 2-3 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

compartments of the freezer (see the diagram) as

these are the coldest parts.
