About the Freezer Compartment  
The freezer compartment consists of 3 wire drawers and an  
ice tray.  
always make sure that food is thoroughly defrosted  
before cooking and no ice crystals remain. this  
is especially important for poultry, as this can be  
extremely harmful to health.  
The freezer compartment temperature must have already  
reached –18 °C (or lower) before you attempt to store food  
that is already frozen or freezing fresh food.  
Always follow the defrosting instructions on packaging when  
defrosting ready meals. Manufacturersguidelines are always  
best, as some frozen foods should be cooked from frozen.

Ideally the thermostat should be set to a position of  
between [2] to [3].  
The freezer can cool to –18 °C and lower.  
IMPortant: The ambient temperature of the room, the  
temperature of the food and the amount of food that has  
been placed in the appliance and how often the door is  
opened, will all affect the temperature being maintained by  
the appliance.  
on the maximum setting (position [4]), the freezer will  
work harder to maintain a lower temperature. there is no  
need to run the appliance on this setting for long periods  
and you should return the thermostat knob to between  
[2] and [3].  
During First Use  
Switch on the appliance for the first time, and set the  
thermostat dial to maximum for 24 hours.  
When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will  
run continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the  
freezer reaches a cool enough temperature.  
note: During this time, try not to open the door frequently or  
place a large amount of food within the appliance.  
You should then adjust the thermostat dial down to its  
normal operating position.  
If the unit is switched off or unplugged, allow at least 5  
minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or  
connecting it to your mains supply.

Freezing with Fast Freeze  
Press the Fast Freeze switch (fig.2-5) and the freezer will start  
to run continuously at its maximum setting. The orange Fast  
Freeze light will come on.  
There is no need to adjust the thermostat knob.  
The freezer temperature will decrease and the appliance will  
get to its lowest temperature.  
Place the food that is to be frozen inside the freezer.  
Once the food is frozen, switch off the fast freeze setting.  
Do not switch othe fast freeze setting until the  
food is fully frozen.  
The orange fast freeze light will go out and your appliance  
will return to normal operation.  
Do not leave the appliance running in fast freeze  
mode for longer than 24-hours at a time.

3. Food Storage Tips  
Tips on Freezing Food  
When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow  
these guidelines:  
As with storing fresh foods, suitable packaging, correct  
temperature and food hygiene will enhance the quality  
of the food you are freezing.  
Always follow manufacturersguidelines for the length  
of time you should store food for. Do not exceed these  
guidelines!  
Avoid putting hot foods into the freezer. First let them  
cool until they reach room temperature.  
Try to keep the length of time between purchase and  
storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.  
Make sure that all foods for freezing are of a high  
quality, and suitable for freezing.  
Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a  
temperature of –18 °C or below.  
Use packaging material that is odourless and airproof  
(such as plastic bags) to store food in so different foods  
can be mixed without affecting the quality. Make sure  
that it is airtight. Leaking packaging will dehydrate the  
products and lead to loss of beneficial vitamins.  
Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the  
packaging. This indicates that the products might have  
been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point:  
temperature rises affect the quality of food.  
Keep the surface of the packaging dry: this keeps the  
packs from freezing together.  
Should there be a power cut or the freezer fails for any  
length of time, you may need to remove food from the  
freezer and store in a cold, hygienic place (i.e. garage  
or outhouse area) until the power is restored or the  
appliance is repaired.  
Mark packages with the kind of food contained and the  
date of storage.  
Food needs to be frozen quickly, so it is best to freeze  
small portions whenever possible and to make sure  
that they are as cold as possible before storage. The  
recommended maximum weight for each portion is  
2.5 kg.  
To prevent undue temperature rises, you should wrap  
the foods in layers of insulating material, such as  
newspaper, to help to maintain their temperature. It is  
also important that any food affected by this situation  
should be either consumed or cooked and refrozen  
(where suitable) soon afterwards in order to prevent  
health risks.  
Keep food which is fresh away from food which is  
already frozen, if you need to freeze fresh food every  
day, make sure that it is in small portions to prevent this.  
Do not exceed the maximum load for freezing, which is  
given as 9 kg / 24-hours (see data badge for details).  
Layers of newspaper can also be used to help keep  
foods cold while you are defrosting the freezer (see  
‘Cleaning and Maintenance’).  
Write the expiry date and food names on the outside of  
the packaging so you can be assured of the food type  
and when it is safe to eat.  
Take food from the freezer to defrost when needed.  
Defrosted food cannot be refrozen unless it is cooked.  
Do not put too much fresh food into the freezer at once.  
This could go beyond the freezer’s cooling capacity (see  
‘Technical Data’).

appliance from your mains supply.  
To maintain a high performance level, occasionally clean the  
condenser coils at the back of the appliance.  
Leave the door to the freezer open. You can place a bowl  
of warm water inside the freezer to speed up the defrost  
process.  
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.  
Use a sponge to mop up the defrost water that will run into  
the bottom of the freezer.  
To keep internal odours to a minimum it is best to periodically  
clean the compartment.  
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.  
Clean the interior using warm water and bicarbonate of soda  
with a soft cloth. Make sure that the interior is then dried  
carefully with a suitable cloth.  
Once all the ice has melted, thoroughly dry the inside of the  
freezer.  
Do not use harsh abrasives, or aggressive cleaners  
as these can damage the interior of the appliance.  
IMPortant: If the inside of the freezer is not dry, then  
there will be an immediate build-up of ice when the  
appliance is switched back on.  
Shelves and other accessories can be cleaned in the sink  
using liquid dishwashing liquid and warm water. Make sure all  
soap is rinsed off and all parts are dry before replacing them  
inside the appliance. Do not clean them in a dishwasher.  
With dry hands, reconnect the appliance to the mains supply.  
Set the thermostat knob to position [4] for 24-hours, before  
returning it to the normal setting of between [2] and [3].  
Always keep the door seals clean. 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.  
Do not attempt to freeze fresh food inside the  
freezer until after the 24-hours.  
Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the ice  
Do not spray or rinse the freezer with water or

petrol, lacquer, thinners, acetone or acid.  
When Not in Use  
If you are not using the appliance for an extended length  
of time, it is recommended that you switch off the electrical  
supply, empty any food out, clean the inside of the appliance  
and leave the door ajar.  
to prevent your skin sticking to cold steel parts,  
make sure your hands are not wet when touching  
the parts.  
This will save energy, and also prevent a build up of stale  
odours inside.  
Defrosting  
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed  
periodically. Use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount  
of frost that builds up.  
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.  
The day before you defrost, turn the thermostat dial to  
position [4]. This will make sure that the food contained in  
the freezer is frozen properly.  
While defrosting the appliance, remove the food from the  
freezer, wrap it in several layers of paper and store it in a cool  
place. The temperature rise in foods will shorten its storage  
life, so the food should be used within a relatively short time.

6. Troubleshooting  
IMPortant: If your freezer appears not to be operating properly, before contacting Consumer Services, please refer to the  
checklist below.  
IMPortant: If your appliance appears not to be operating  
My freezer does not appear to be working / there is no  
correctly, then you should disconnect it from your mains  
power to my appliance  
supply and then contact Consumer Services.  
Check that the plug is fully inserted into the power  
socket.  
Do not atteMPt to rePaIr tHe aPPlIance  
YoUrself.  
Check that there is power to your mains supply (e.g.  
that there has not been a power cut or that the fuse  
has not blown).  
Please note that if an engineer is asked to attend while  
the product is under guarantee and finds that the  
problem is not the result of an appliance fault, then you  
may be liable for the cost of the call out charge.  
Check that the thermostat inside the appliance has  
not been turned to the [0] position.  
the appliance must be accessible for the engineer  
to perform any necessary repair. If your appliance is  
installed in such a way that an engineer is concerned that  
damage will be caused to the appliance or your kitchen,  
then he will not complete a repair.  
Check that your mains supply voltage, corresponds  
to the voltage stated on the rating plate of your  
appliance.  
My freezer appears to be performing poorly  
this includes situations where appliances have been tiled  
in, sealed in with sealant or any installation other than  
the one specified by has been completed.  
Check that the appliance is not overloaded and that  
food has not been packed too tightly into it.  
Please refer to the conditions of guarantee that appear on  
the warranty card that you receive with the appliance.  
The thermostat setting is too low: you should turn  
the thermostat up higher.  
Make sure that the door is closing properly and that  
the door has not been opened for a long period in  
error.  
Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation for your  
appliance.  
My freezer is noisy  
The refrigerant gas that circulates the pipework of  
the appliance may make a slight noise, even if the  
compressor is not running.  
If the noise worsens or the appliance gets louder  
than normal check that it is levelled off correctly, that  
nothing is touching the rear of the freezer and that  
nothing placed inside the appliance is rattling.  
Ice has formed on the inner back wall of my freezer  
Check that food has not been pushed too far back  
inside the appliance, so that it is in contact with the  
inner back wall.
