2. If during the course of transport the product has been transported horizontally, it  
must only be laid on its left hand side (when facing the door front) and it must  
not be operated for at least 4 hours to allow the system to settle after the  
appliance is brought back to upright position.  
3. For the protection of the appliance during warehousing and transport, it is  
provided with spacers between the door and the cabinet (in the front and rear  
side). These spacers will be removed before putting the appliance into  
operation.  
4. Failure to comply with the above instructions could result in damage occuring to  
the appliance. The manufacturer will not be held responsible if these instructions  
are disregarded.  
5. The appliance must be protected against rain, moisture and other atmospheric  
influences.  
IMPORTANT : Care must be taken while cleaning / carrying the appliance to avoid  
touching the condenser metal wires at the back of the appliance, as you might  
injure your fingers and hands or damage your product.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
1. If possible avoid placing the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct  
sunlight as this will cause the compressor to run for long periods. If installed next  
to a source of heat or refrigerator, maintain the following minimum side  
clearances:  
From Cookers  
From Radiators  
From Fridges  
4" (100 mm)  
12" (300 mm)  
4" (100 mm)  
2. Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free  
air circulation. Ideally, ensure you allow gaps as shown in the below diagram.  
3. The appliance should be located on a smooth surface.  
4. Refer to "Cleaning and Care" section to prepare your appliance for use.  
5. Fit the two plastic wall spacer supplied  
with the appliance rotating 1/4 turn to  
the condenser at the back of the  
freezer (see diagram).  
6. If the freezer is installed in unheated areas, garages etc., in cold weather  
condensation may form on the outer surfaces.  
This is quite normal and is not a fault. Remove the condensation by wiping with  
a dry cloth.

STARTING  
Final Check  
Before you start using the freezer check that:  
1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.  
2. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE".  
3. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. Avoid  
accidental disconnection by taping over the switch. Green light will glow and the  
compressor will start running (see Freezer Operation page 6).  
4. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed  
within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the  
compressor is running or not which is quite normal.  
5. If you going to store already frozen food open the freezer lid and check that the  
freezer has reached the correct temperature. Then you can put in your already  
frozen food. (See Storing Frozen Food page 7).  
6. If you are going to freeze fresh Food, you should turn the Fast Freeze switch on  
and wait for at least three hours before putting in your fresh food to be frozen.  
(See Freezing Fresh Food, Page 7).  
7. Do not load the appliance immediately after it is switched on. Wait until the  
correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check  
the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see Freezer Operation page 6).  
Important Notes:  
If there is a power failure do not open the lid. Frozen food should not be affected  
if the failure lasts for less than 36 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food  
should be checked and eaten immediately or cooked and then refrozen.  
If you find that the lid of the chest freezer is difficult to open just after you have  
closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize  
and allow the lid to be opened normally after a few minutes.

FREEZER OPERATION  
Temperature adjustment  
The temperature of the freezer is adjusted by means  
of the knob assembled on the thermostat, position  
„MAX” being the lowest temperature.  
The achieved temperatures can vary according to the  
conditions of use of the appliance, such as: place of  
the appliance, ambient temperature, frequency of lid  
opening, extent of filling with food of the freezer. The  
position of the thermostat knob will change according  
to these factors. Normally, for an ambient  
temperature of approx. 320C, the thermostat should be adjusted to the mild position.  
We recommended that you check the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the  
Freezer is kept to the desired temperature. Remember you must take your reading very  
quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from  
the freezer.  
Please remember each time the lid is opened cold air escapes and the internal  
temperature rises. Therefore never leave the lid open and ensure it is closed: immediately  
after Food is put in or removed.  
Indicator lights  
The indicator light set is placed on the front side of the freezer for easy visibility.  
By using the Thermostat Adjustment Knob (1), you can adjust the internal temperature of  
the freezer.  
Indicator lights mean the following:  
- green LED – shows that the appliance is supplied with electric energy.  
- red LED – lights if the temperature in the freezer is too high. The LED will operate 45  
minutes after putting into operation of the freezer, then it must go off. If the LED comes  
on during the operation, this may mean that a defect has occured.  
- amber button and led – fast freeze is switched on.

STORING FROZEN FOOD  
Prepackaged commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the  
frozen food manufacturer’s instructions for a  
freezer compartment.  
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the  
food retailer is maintained the following should be remembered:  
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.  
2. Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best Before” dates on the packaging.  
FREEZING FRESH FOOD  
Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast freezing and away  
from already frozen food, if possible.  
Freezing capacity of your appliance in a 24 hours period is 18 kg (11lb).  
Never exceed this maximum capacity. If you are going to freeze fresh food in excess  
of 2 kg. (4.5Ib) turn the Fast Freeze switch on and wait for at least three hours  
before placing the fresh food in the freezer. Remember to switch off the Fast Freeze  
after freezing. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time.  
The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the centre  
as quickly as possible.  
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

DEFROSTING  
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4”) has formed.  
To start the defrosting procedure turn the thermostat knob to zero position.  
Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the  
mains plug.  
All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool  
place (e.g. fridge or larder).  
Remove the freezer baskets. Leave the lid open. Containers of warm water may be  
placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.  
Take out the frozen food, wrap it in several sheets of paper and put them in  
refrigerator or a cool place.  
Take the separator panel and put it under the freezer in the direction of the dripping  
tube. Take out the obstructing plug. The water which results will be collected in the  
special tray (separator panel). After the melting of the ice and the run-off of the water  
please wipe with a cloth or with a sponge, then dry well. Put the obstruction plug back  
in its place.  
For a fast thaw please leave the door open.  
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the  
frost.  
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for  
defrosting.  
CLEANING AND CARE  
** We recommend that you switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the  
mains plug before cleaning.  
** Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent  
and wax polish for cleaning.  
** Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry.  
** Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda  
to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.  
** Excess deposit of ice should be removed on a regular basis using a plastic ice  
scraper available from your local store. Large accumulation of ice will impair the  
performance of the freezer.  
** If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove  
all food, clean it and leave the lid ajar.  
** Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the back of the  
freezer, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.  
** Check lid seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particies.
