Using the Appliance

Before Use

Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash the inside of 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.

Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or products containing alcohol.

To Start the Appliance

Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.
Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
Turn the thermostat control to 'Super' and leave to run for 4 hours to allow the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside.
Turn the thermostat control to 'Normal'.

Thermostat Control

The thermostat control, situated on the side of the cabinet, regulates the temperature inside the freezer. Turning the thermostat control clockwise makes the temperature progressively colder.

Freezing Fresh Food

It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible.

To freeze fresh food:

Turn the thermostat control to 'Super' 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer. The freezer will now run continuously, creating a sufficient reserve of the temperature required.
Place the food on the freezing shelf of the freezer and leave the thermostat control in the 'Super' position for a further 24 hours.
After 24 hours, return the thermostat control to the 'Normal' position. The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. Place the frozen food in the storing compartment.

If the thermostat control is left in the 'Super' position, the freezer will not be damaged, but energy will be wasted.

Frozen Food Storage

When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, it is advised to run the appliance for at least 4 hours with the thermostat control in the 'Super' position before storing frozen food.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is necessary.

Important:

Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can cause 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 frost/freezer burns.
In the event of a power cut, the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and 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. (See Hints and Tips)

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.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

To Make Ice Cubes

Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place on the freezing shelf, and leave to freeze.
To remove the cubes, twist the tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.

Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer shelf by using pointed or sharp edged objects.

Hints & Tips

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your freezer:

Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid.
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.
Do not push food together too much; try to allow air to circulate around each item.
Do not store food uncovered.
Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best.
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food; salt reduces the storage time.
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal.
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen; it must be consumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage times indicated by the manufacturer.

Energy Saving Advice

Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler or radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being transferred to the freezer.
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.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you:

Ice Cream: Once thawed, should be discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft, should be cooked and used up.
Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.
Cooked Dishes: i.e., casseroles should be refrigerated and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them.
Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be refrozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: Should also be cooked and refrozen as a fresh dish.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out, you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.

NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior, as these will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.

Once or twice a year, dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.

Diagram showing the rear of the appliance with the condenser (black grille) and compressor.

When the Appliance is not in Use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods, and clean the appliance, leaving the door open to prevent unpleasant smells.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided whenever the thickness of frost exceeds 1/4 inch.

During this operation, it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out, and it is advisable to perform this operation when the appliance is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting:

It is advisable to disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply. If the plug is inaccessible, turn the thermostat to 'Stop'.
Remove any stored food, wrap in several layers of newspaper, and store in a cool place.
Leave the door open.
To accelerate the defrosting process, place a bowl of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer.
When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.
Turn the thermostat control to 'Super' and leave to run for at least 4 hours.
Replace the previously removed food.
Return the thermostat control to 'Normal'.

Important:

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator, as this could damage the appliance beyond repair.
