ON/OFF button
.The pilot light
show that the appliance is on.
Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a
thermostat control knob
tions and one «OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum cold
Position 6 = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
l
Room temperature
How often the door is opened
l
How much food is stored
l
Position of the appliance
l
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
To obtain a colder temperature, turn the thermostat
control to the higher numbers; to obtain a warmer
temperature turn the control to the lower numbers.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.
For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.
Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light
cates that the temperature within the freezer has
reached a level where safe food storage is no longer
ensured.
When the freezer is first switched on, the warning
light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to
a safe level for the storage of frozen food.
Acoustic alarm
This appliance also incorporates an alarm which
gives off a sound signal whenever the warning light
comes on. This signal can be temporarily stopped by

Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 20 kg of
fresh food.
Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast freeze
switch
24 hours before you want to freeze your
fresh food, the yellow light
can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food
to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the
food to be frozen in the appliance's two top compart-
ments; if freezing only a small amount of food, use
the top compartment.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze button to the
«OFF» position; the yellow light
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other com-
partments, so that the top compartments can be
used for a further freezing operation.
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned
foodstuffs.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is
already frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer
door remains closed.
Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
we strongly recommend that you make sure that the
commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately
stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that
these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food-
store to the appliance in the shortest possible time (a
temperature increase of the frozen food could short-
en its storage period).
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period
indicated by the producer of the food.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks
etc.), in the freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer, can possibly result in
a low temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasions or "frost/freezer burns".
If there is a power failure do not open the door
during the whole time of the power failure. If
the freezer is fully loaded, the frozen food will
not be affected if the power cut is of short
duration; otherwise, it is recommended to con-
sume the food within a very short time.
