Instructions for use  
Storing frozen food Frozen food symbols  
and freezer calendar  
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage  
of commercially frozen foods and also can be  
used to freeze and store fresh food.  
For storing home-frozen fresh food refer to the  
storage-life guide on the door-liner.  
If there is a power failure, do not open the  
door. Frozen food should not be affected if the  
failure lasts for less than 14 hrs. If the failure  
is longer, then the food should be checked and  
either eaten immediately or cooked and then  
re-frozen  
Food symbols are illustrated on the freezer door-  
liner.  
The figures next to food symbols represent the  
safe storage-life, in months.  
Observe the best before dates indicated on the  
package for ready frozen food.  
Making ice cubes  
Freezing fresh food  
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and  
place it in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with  
a spoon handle or a similar implement; never  
use sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks.  
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.  
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment  
causes the refrigeration machine to operate  
continously until the food is frozen solid. This  
can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of  
the refrigeration compartment.  
When freezing fresh food, keep the thermostat  
knob at medium position. Small quantities of  
food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without  
adjusting the temperature control knob.  
Take special care not to mix already  
frozen food and fresh food.

Replacing the interior  
light bulb  
Defrosting  
A) Fridge compartment  
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.  
The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a  
collection container at the back of the appliance  
(Fig. 3).  
Should the light fail, switch off at the socket  
outlet and pull out the mains plug.  
Then ensure the bulb is screwed securely in the  
bulb holder. Replace the plug and switch on.  
If the light still fails, obtain a replacement E14  
screw-cap type 15 Watt (Max) bulb from your  
local electrical store and then fit it  
During defrosting, water droplets may form at  
the back of the fridge compartment where a  
concealed evaporator is located. Some droplets  
may remain on the liner and refreeze when  
defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed or  
sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to  
remove the droplets which have refrozen.  
If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain  
from the collection channel, check that no food  
particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain  
tube can be cleared with a pipe-cleaner or  
similar implement.  
(Fig. 4).Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light  
bulb immediately.  
Cleaning and care  
1. We recommend that you switch off the  
appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the  
mains plug before cleaning.  
2. Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive  
substances, soap, household cleaner, detergent  
or wax polish for cleaning.  
3. Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet  
of the appliance and wipe it dry.  
4. 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.  
5. Make sure that no water enters the  
temperature control box.  
6. If the appliance is not going to be used for  
a long period of time, switch it off, remove all  
food, clean it and leave the door ajar.  
7. We recommend that you polish the metal  
parts of the product (i.e. door exterior, cabinet  
sides) with a silicone wax (car polish) to protect  
the high quality paint finish.  
B) Freezer compartment  
Defrosting is very straightforward and without  
mess, thanks to a special defrost collection  
basin.  
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of  
around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start the  
defrosting procedure, switch off the appliance  
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).  
Containers of warm water may be placed  
carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.  
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.  
Sponge out the defrost water collected in the  
bottom of the freezer compartment. After  
defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly. Insert the  
plug into the wall socket and switch on the  
electricity supply.  
8. Any dust that gathers on the condenser,  
which is located at the back of the appliance,  
should be removed once a year with a vacuum  
cleaner.  
9. Check door seals regularly to ensure they  
are clean and free from food particles.
