Control unit

USING THE APPLIANCE

This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for the storage of edible
foodstuff. This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures (surrounding air
temperature) between 16℃ and 38℃. If these temperatures are exceeded i.e., colder or
warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. Should the ambient temperatures be
exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer compartment will rise above
-18℃ and food spoilage may occur.

Before Use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a
little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent
as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
To Start the Appliance
1.Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.
2.Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
3.Turn the thermostat control to the required setting. A midway setting is usually suitable
for normal operation (see thermostat control).
4.Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be

-5-
reached before placing food inside.
Thermostat Control
The thermostat control situated in the control panel regulates the temperature of the
freezer compartment.
z Position “Min” –Cold.
z Position “Normal” -Colder.normally, setting at this position.
z Position “Max” –Coldest.
The temperature will be affected by:
z Room temperature
z How often the door is opened
z How much food is stored
z Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting, all these factors have to be
considered and some experimentation may be necessary. Do not allow children to tamper
with the controls or play with the product.

The Freezer Compartment

。
The symbol means that your freezer will store frozen food at -18℃(-0.4
F) or colder allowing for long term frozen food storage and freezing of fresh food. The
freezer temperature is controlled automatically by the thermostat situated in the control
panel. Due to the different installations, methods of usage and weather conditions,
adjustments to the temperature settings may be required.
These are best assessed against a temperature reading on a thermometer buried in the
frozen food. The reading must be taken quickly as the thermometer temperature will
rise rapidly after removal.

Freezing Fresh Food

Place the fresh food on the top freezer shelf. Food may need rearranging to achieve this.
During the freezing process the temperature of fresh food should be reduced quickly so
that ice crystals are kept as small as possible to prevent damaging the structure of food. If
freezing takes place slowly large ice crystals form and these will affect the quality of food
once it has defrosted.
Frozen Food Storage
The appliance has the following net storage volume: 72 litres. This is a standard
measurement and the actual capacity depends upon the density and sizes of the food.
Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions for a 4 star frozen food compartment and should be put in the
freezer as soon as possible after purchase. Your freezer provides for long term storage
which generally means up to 3 months but the length of the time can vary and it is
important to follow the recommended times shown on packets of commercially frozen
food. Do not place sealed containers or carbonated liquids such as fizzy drinks into the
freezer as it creates pressure on the container which may cause it to explode resulting to
damage to the freezer. Ice cubes and ice lollies should not be consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer as it may result in low temperature skin abrasions.
Manufacturers storage times should be adhered to.
Tips
Any opened packets of frozen food, should be rewrapped in airtight materials to prevent

-6-
surface evaporation which causes drying or “freezer burn”. Frozen food which is allowed
to thaw accidentally should either be used immediately or thrown away. Alternatively if
the food is uncooked and has not been aim to check dates on packets and rotate than
recommended is not harmful, flavours and textures begin to change.

HINTS AND TIPS

Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through
the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer
shelves.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a
whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. A thermostat controls the
compressor, and thermostat cuts in and out.
Food Storage
When you arrive home, place the frozen food in the freezer immediately. Keep the time
between buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge as short as possible.
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 labeled
and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best. Remove suspect food
from your refrigerator and clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.

Energy Saving Advice

Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or
radiator. Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air
openings is good.
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages.
Always leave warm food to cool down in room freezer.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being
transferred to the freezer. Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure safer
defrosting of food and reduce the work of the refrigeration unit.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long time, warm air will enter the cabinet, and
cause energy consumption.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
It is advisable to periodically clean the freezer.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen food, 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:
z Ice cream :Once thawed should be discarded.
z Fruit and vegetables: If soft should be cooked and used up.
z Bread and cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.
z Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.
z Cooked dishes: i.e. casseroles, should be refrigerated and used up.
z Large pieces of meat: Can be re-frozen providing there are ice crystals remaining
within them.
z Small joints: Should be cooked and then re-frozen as cooked dishes.
z Chicken: Should be cooked and re-frozen as a fresh dish

6.Maintenance service and Troubleshooting.
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance
from the ELECTRICITY supply.

Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5
litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly
perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or
alcohol.

External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products. There
are sharp edges on the underside of the product, so care should be taken when cleaning.
Once or twice a year dust 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.

To Defrost the Freezer

1.Wrap any food in layers of newspaper or blankets.
2.Switch the appliance off at the wall socket and remove the plug.
3.Open the freezer door.
4.Place a suitable container to collect the defrosting water.
5.After defrosting, clean and dry the interior.
6.Switch the appliance on and replace any frozen food.
Defrosting can be speeded up by putting bowls of hot (not boiling) water in the freezer
and loosening the frost with a suitable plastic scraper.
If the temperature of frozen food is allowed to rise during defrosting, its storage life may
be shortened.

When the Appliance is Not in Use

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