o After the water is completely frozen and turned to ice, you can twist the ice
cube tray (as shown in the drawing below) to dispense the ice.
Freezing with fast freeze
This function should be used whilst you are freezing fresh food, it will ensure
that a powerful supply of cold air enters the freezer compartment.
o Press the fast freeze button (2) and the freezer will start to run
continuously at its maximum setting.
o The yellow fast freeze light (5) will come on when the fast freeze setting
has been switched on.
o There is no need to adjust the thermostat knob.
o The freezer temperature will decrease and the appliance will get to its
lowest temperature.
o Place the food that is to be frozen inside the freezer.
DO NOT SWITCH OFF THE FAST FREEZE SETTING UNTIL THE FOOD IS FULLY
FROZEN.
o Once the food is frozen, you should switch off the fast freeze setting by
pressing and holding the fast freeze button for 3 seconds.
o The yellow fast freeze light will go out and your appliance will return to
normal operation.
IMPORTANT: TO MINIMISE THE ADDITIONAL ENERGY USED DURING FAST
FREEZE MODE, IT SHOULD BE SWITCHED ON FOR THE SHORTEST AMOUNT
OF TIME POSSIBLE.
AFTER 24 HOURS, THE APPLIANCE WILL AUTOMATICALLY RETURN TO
NORMAL OPERATION IF YOU DO NOT SWITCH OFF THE FAST FREEZE
OPERATION.
SAVING ENERGY WHEN USING YOUR FREEZER
Installing:
o Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct sunlight or next
to an oven or other heat source, the energy consumption can increase
substantially.
o Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation requirements.
Restricting ventilation can increase the energy consumption by 15%.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
o Occasionally clean the condenser coils (if present) at the back of the
appliance to maintain a high performance level.
o Defrost the appliance regularly. A build up of thick ice decreases the
efficiency of the appliance. You should defrost whenever the frost reaches
5 mm thickness.
o Clean the door gasket with warm water or a neutral detergent that leaves
no residue. A tight-sealing door gasket is critical to the efficiency of your
appliance.
Usage:
o Do not open the door repeatedly or more frequently than you have to.
o Do not set the thermostat too low. A change of just one degree can effect
the energy consumption by 5%. Use a thermometer to check the
temperature.
o The freezer should operate at -15 to -18 degrees Celsius.
o Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance (but don’t
let it sit at room temperature for too long).
o In the freezer, food packages should be scattered and never grouped or
stacked together until they are completely frozen.
o If you are going away for a long period of time, turn off the appliance,
empty and clean it and leave the door ajar.
o If you have a second appliance that is not used, make sure that it is stored
with the power off and the door left ajar until it is actually required.
Disposing:
o If you're going to throw out your old fridge, see if there's a
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) recycler in your area. The government department
which looks after the environment in your area may be able to help you.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT.
o Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over
it.
o The freezer should be cleaned periodically, using a solution of bicarbonate
of soda and lukewarm water.
o Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in
a dishwasher.
o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
o After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with
a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to
your mains supply.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically. You can
use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount of frost that builds.
IMPORTANT: The freezer should be defrosted at least twice a year. The
number of times that you need to defrost it, will depend on the setting of
your thermostat and how much food you freeze and store in the freezer.
o The day before you defrost, turn the thermostat dial to position <5>, this
will make sure that the food contained in the freezer is frozen properly.
o Whilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed from the
freezer and wrapped in several layers of paper and stored in a cool place.
The foods rise in temperature will shorten its storage life and therefore the
food should be used within a relatively short period of time.
DO NOT PLACE FOOD BACK IN THE FREEZER ONCE IT HAS STARTED TO
THAW.
o Set the thermostat knob to position <0> and disconnect the appliance from
your mains supply.
o Leave the door to the freezer open. You can place a bowl of warm water
inside the freezer to speed up the defrost process.
o You can use a sponge to mop up the defrost water that will run into the
bottom of the freezer.
IMPORTANT: You should place some old towels on the flooring that is
immediately in front of the appliance. In case any defrost water comes out
of the freezer and onto the floor.
o Once all the ice that has built up has melted, then the inside of the freezer
should be dried thoroughly. Failure to do this will result in immediate ice
build when the appliance is switched back on.
o With dry hands, reconnect your appliance to your mains supply. Set the
thermostat knob to position <5> for a 24 hour period, before returning it to
the normal setting of <3>.
o You should not attempt to freeze fresh food inside the freezer until this 24
hour time period has elapsed.
Do not defrost the appliance with other electrical devices (e.g. hair dryer).
Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the ice on the freezer, as this
could cause damage to the refrigerant system.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read all the instructions and
make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the
rating plate are exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your
home. The rating plate can be found on the front left edge of the
inside of the refrigerator.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of the installer failing
to observe all the accident prevention regulations in force, which are
necessary for normal use and the regular operation of the electric system.
Electrical connection
YOUR FREEZER IS INTENDED FOR FITTED AND PERMANENT INSTALLATION.
We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician,
who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply with the I.E.E. and
local regulations.
