Start your appliance

Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (D)
will illuminate to show that the appliance is on.

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 knob beyond the «O»
position.

When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you
turn the thermostat control to a medium setting. 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 larger 

; to obtain a warmer

temperature turn the control to the smaller 

.

Control Panel

A. Alarm light

If the alarm light (A) 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.

B. Fast freeze light

The fast freeze light is illuminated, to show that the
fast freeze function is working.

C. Fast freeze control switch

When you place fresh food in the appliance, press
the fast freeze control switch.

D. Pilot light

The operation light is illuminated continuously, to
show that the appliance is on.

E. Thermostat control knob

Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to
required setting.

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, press the  fast freeze switch 12 hours
before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light
(B) 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.

INSTALLATION

Positioning

This appliance should only be installed at a location
where the ambient temperature corresponds to the
climate classification indicated on the rating plate,
which is located at the left on the inside of the
appliance.

The following table shows which ambient temperature
is correct for each climate classification:

SN    +10°C  to  + 32°C

N      +16°C  to   + 32°C

ST    +18°C  to   + 38°C

T       +18°C  to  + 43°C

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 (4”) 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 or a tool (see figure).

Important

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
under “Door reversal”.

Important

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from
the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be
easily accessible after installation.

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.
