Final Check  
Before you start using the fridge/  
freezer check that:  
9. Front edges of the cabinet may feel  
warm. This is normal. These areas  
are designed to be warm to avoid  
condensation.  
1. The feet have been adjusted for  
perfect levelling.  
10. We recommend that you set  
the thermostat knob at 3 and  
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.  
Avoid accidental disconnection  
by taping over the switch. Green  
and red lights will glow and the  
compressor will start running.  
monitor the temperature to ensure  
the appliance maintains desired  
storage temperatures (see section  
Temperature Control and Adjustment).  
11. 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).  
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. If you are going to store already  
frozen food open the freezer door and  
check that the fast-freeze switch is  
at off (the amber light will not come  
on). The red light will go out when  
the freezer has reached the correct  
temperature. Then you can put in your  
already frozen food.  
7. If you are going to freeze fresh food,  
you must press the fast-freeze switch.  
The amber light will come on and you  
must wait at least three hours before  
putting in your fresh food to be frozen.  
8. “ Slight undulation of the top of  
the cabinet is quite normal due to the  
manufacturing process used, so do  
not worry, it is not a defect.  
Important Notes :  
1. If there is a power failure do not  
open the door. Frozen food should not  
be affected if the failure lasts for less  
than 16.5 hours. If the failure is longer,  
then the food should be checked and  
either eaten immediately or cooked  
and then re-frozen.  
2. If you find the freezer door difficult  
to open just after you have closed  
it, don’t worry. This is due to the  
pressure difference which will equalise  
and allow the door to open normally  
after a few minutes.  
3. Always wrap food using a suitable  
packaging material before storing  
in your appliance to avoid contact  
with the appliance surface and food  
remains for hygiene reasons.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT  
4
2
1
3
Temperature is controlled by the  
thermostat which is located on the  
rear wall of the cabinet.Thermostat  
knob is located on the indicator light  
set. “Number 4” is the coldest setting  
The normal storage temperature of  
your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F).  
Lower temperatures may be obtained  
by adjusting the thermostat knob  
towards 'number 4 ' position.  
INDICATOR LIGHTS  
There are three coloured indicator  
lights located on the front of the  
appliance which shows the operating  
mode of the freezer.  
Green Indicator (1)  
Illuminates when the appliance is  
connected to the mains and will glow  
as long as electricity is available.  
Amber Indicator (2)  
We recommend that you check the  
temperature with a thermometer to  
ensure that the storage compartments  
are 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 door  
is opened cold air escapes and the  
internal temperature rises. Therefore  
never leave the door open and ensure  
it is closed immediately after food is  
put in or removed.  
This indicator will glow when the fast  
freeze switch (4) is on and will continue  
to glow until the fast freeze switch is  
turned off. The compressor will run  
continuously while fast freeze switch is  
on. Fast freeze operation is for freezing  
fresh food.  
Red Indicator (3) Illuminates:  
a. If the pre-set temperature can not  
be maintained.  
b. If excessive amounts of fresh food  
are placed inside.  
c. If the appliance door is left open  
accidentally.

compressor starts to operate. This  
is normal and does not indicate a  
compressor fault.  
thermometer temperature will rise very  
rapidly after you remove it from the  
freezer.  
Please remember each time the door  
is opened cold air escapes and the  
internal temperature rises. Therefore  
never leave the door open and ensure  
it is closed immediately after food is  
put in or removed.  
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 10 kg  
(22 lb)  
Placing warm food into the freezer  
compartment causes the refrigeration  
compressor to operate continuously  
until the food is frozen solid.  
If you are going to freeze fresh food  
in excess of 2kg. (4.5 lb) turn the  
thermostat knob to the fast freeze  
position and wait for about 24 hours  
before placing the fresh food in the  
freezer.  
Remember to turn the thermostat  
knob back to its previous position  
once food has frozen.  
It is recommended to place fresh  
food to be frozen in fast freeze  
compartment of the freezer.  
Take special care not to mix already  
frozen food and fresh food.  
Operating temperatures are controlled  
by the thermostat knob (see diagram)  
located on the inner side wall of the  
freezer compartment. Settings may  
be made from 1, 2 ... fast freeze, fast  
freeze being the coldest position.  
When the appliance is switched  
on for the first time, the thermostat  
knob should be adjusted so that  
after 24 hours, the average freezer  
temperature is no higher than -18°C  
(0°F). We recommend you set the  
knob half way between the 1 and 4  
setting. Lower temperatures may be  
obtained by adjusting setting knob  
towards fast freeze position.  
We recommend that you check  
the temperature with an accurate  
thermometer to ensure that the  
storage compartments are kept to the  
desired temperature.
