This 4 (
) freezer is suitable for the storage of
Frozen food storage
commercially frozen food marked with 2-4 stars.
The normal operating temperature of –18°C is
suitable for long term storage of frozen food.
Pre-packaged, commercially frozen food is normally
suitable for storage of up to 3 months, unless
otherwise stated by the manufacturer. This
appliance is also suitable for freezing fresh food.
Your appliance has the following frozen food net
storage volume: 92 litres weight of stored food 29.4 kg.
Operate the fast freeze switch BE F ORE placing
fresh food to be frozen in the freezer.
Place fresh food to be frozen in the top basket; food
is completely frozen 24 hours later.
The top basket should be used to freeze fresh food.
When the food is completely frozen it can be
transferred to one of the other 2 baskets. If a very
small quantity of fresh food is to be frozen, it is NOT
necessary to adjust the thermostat control in
advance. Always ensure that air can circulate
around the food to be frozen; this will help it to
freeze quicker.
The controls (See F ig. 16)
The control panel is situated at the base of the
appliance, and can be seen under the door.
A. Fast freeze button
When you place fresh food in the appliance, you
press the fast freeze button; the length of time you
need to leave the appliance on fast freeze depends
on the weight of food.
Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen, touch
food which is already frozen.
During the freezing process, please make sure that
the door remains closed.
B. Red temperature alarm indicator light
The red temperature alarm light will come on as
soon as the freezer is plugged in, or when it has
been filled with fresh food until it reaches the
correct temperature. This light will come on when
the temperature rises above normal in the cabinet.
Important
If the temperature of frozen food rises because of:
a) Non compliance with manufacturer’s
recommendations,
C. Thermostat control
Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to the
required setting, which is 3-4.
b) E lectric power failure,
c) Defrosting,
then recommended storage life may be reduced and
storage times may not apply.
D. Mains On button
The green mains on button is illuminated
continuously, to show that the appliance is on.
F rozen 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 completely defrosted it can be cooked and then
refrozen.
11
Ice making
Freezing fresh food
F ill the ice tray with fresh drinking water to just
below the top of each cube compartment and place
in the top compartment where it will freeze quickly.
The maximum quantity of food you can freeze in 24
hours is 10 kg. Run for 3 - 4 hours before loading
with food. After 24 hours the food will be fully
frozen.
To release the ice cubes. twist the ice tray along its
length and the cubes will come out. They can then
be stored in a container to use at a later date.
Note
Aim to check dates on packets and rotate food
regularly. Although storage longer than
recommended is not harmful, flavours and textures
begin to deteriorate.
Thawing
Thaw frozen food in the fridge or at room
temperature, depending on the time available.
Warning
Some small items may be cooked from frozen, but
please allow extra time for cooking.
Do NOT remove items from the freezer if your
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasions or "frost/freezer" burns.
Any frozen food which has defrosted accidentally
should either be consumed as soon as possible or
thrown away. If the thawed food is uncooked and
has not been completely defrosted, it can be cooked
and refrozen.
Helpful hints when buying food
1. Always ensure that fresh food you purchase is of
a good quality and in prime condition.
DE F ROSTE D F OOD MUST NEVER BE

2. Shop at a reliable source and buy the "freshest"
looking packages; avoid shopworn labels or
produce covered in dust.

3. Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it
straight away. The use of insulated containers is
advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen
food in the freezer immediately.
* Label the food stored in your freezer, and use in
date order, ensuring that you are consuming food
at its best.
* Leave the door ajar when the freezer is not in
use.
DO NOT...
* Use a SHARP INSTRUME NT to remove ice
and frost.
Note
1. Do not place sealed containers of carbonated
liquids such as fizzy drinks into the freezer as it
creates pressure on the container which may
cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the
freezer.
2. Water ices and ice lollies should not be consumed
immediately after removal from the freezer as it
may result in low temperature skin abrasions.
12
Defrosting
Starting
The frost should be occasionally removed using
either a stiff bristle brush or a plastic scraper.
Before the appliance is installed into the recess plug
into the mains and switch on. Check that the
mains on light comes on and the control dial is
correctly set. (See "The controls"). You will hear
the compressor start up.
Heavy frosting (about 1/4" thick) will reduce the
freezer's efficiency and complete defrosting should
be carried out at this stage.
It is preferable to defrost the freezer when there is
little or no food in it. The procedure is as follows:
Normal sound
It is quite normal for refrigerators and freezers to
make a certain amount of noise. The noise level will
vary according to where the cabinet is positioned.
Any remaining frozen food should be placed in
newspaper, wrapped in blankets and stored in a
cardboard box which you should then put in a cool,
dry place, or put the food in another freezer.
Noise and vibration can arise if the cabinet is
unsteady or is close up to some other fitment such
as a sink unit or dishwasher.
Then turn the mains on indicator light switch OF F.
Defrosting can be speeded up by putting bowls of
hot (NOT boiling) water on the shelves of the
freezer.
Refrigeration system. A faint gurgling or bubbling
sound can be heard when the refrigerant is pumped
through the coils of tubing at the rear or cooling
system.
When the ice has melted, remove the water
collected in the base of the freezer.
Compressor. When the refrigerant is pumped round, a
whirring or pulsating noise may be heard from the
compressor.
After defrosting, clean and dry the interior of the
freezer, plug the appliance in and turn on the mains
on indicator light switch and the fast freeze switch.
Thermostat. The compressor is started and stopped
by the thermostat. A click can be heard when the
thermostat cuts in and out.
Replace the frozen food and check that the
thermostat is at the correct setting.
* Please note:
Important notice
If the temperature of the frozen food is allowed to
rise during defrosting, its storage life may be
shortened.
In line with our continuing policy of research and
development we reserve the right to alter models
and specifications without prior notice.
This instruction booklet is accurate at the date of
printing but will be superseded and should be
disregarded if specifications or appearance are
changed.

HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been
removed from many pre-prepared foods. This together
with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week
shop, mean that safe handling and storage of food is
even more important than ever.
“ The best way to defrost food is to put it in the
refrigerator to thaw slowly.
“ E nsure that food placed in the freezer is dated
and labelled and used in date order to ensure that
food is consumed at its best.
The following tips should help you to ensure that the
food in your home is in as perfect condition as possible.
“ It is important that food is used before its “best
before” date.
“ Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your freezer as short as possible.
Tests showed that the temperature of 1 litre of
orange juice rose to 22°C in an hour between the
supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to
get down to 7°C in the refrigerator.
“ Always wash your hands with soapy water and
dry them with a clean towel before handling food.
“ Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not using the same work
surface or knife, without washing them
thoroughly in between.
“ Keep the freezer door closed as much as possible.
Remember that warm air is flowing in as you are
deciding what to have for tea!
“ Use kitchen roll wherever possible for cleaning
up food. If you use a dishcloth, be sure to boil it
frequently.
“ Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air circulate around each item.
“ Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do
NOT place in the freezer until cool. (Leave food in
a place as cool as possible in order that it can then
be placed in the freezer as soon as possible).
“ Do not store food uncovered.
14
