STORING FROZEN FOOD
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of commercially frozen foods and
also can be used to freeze and store fresh food.
If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than 23 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the
food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-
frozen.

STARTING
Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/freezer check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
3. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.
When the door is open the interior light will come on.
5. 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.
6. We recommend that you set the thermostat knob midway between 2 and 3
and monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired
storage temperatures (See section Temperature control and adjustment).
7. Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be
warm to avoid condensation.
"Do not load the appliance immediately 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; Temperature
Control and Adjustment)"
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.
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 core as quickly as possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 3.5 kg (7.8 lb)
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to
operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive
cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food turn the thermostat knob towards 4. Small quantities of
food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without having to rotate the temperature control
knob.
You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

MAKING ICE CUBES
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the Ice Bank. Loosen
frozen trays with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged objects
such as knives, forks. Store ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored
in Ice Bank, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.
