This time 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 two top compartments of the freezer as these are the coldest parts. Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the �N� position; the yellow light (D) goes off. Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartments can be used for a further freezing operation. The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality. Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen. During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer. Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen. Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through. the oven in their aluminium wrapping.

Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary. Warning Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment. Water ices, 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�. Important In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen .
Positioning
This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures between 10¡C (50¡F) and 32¡C (90¡F). It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature e.g. not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may fall below 10¡C (50¡F). If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance may not operate correctly. You should also ensure that air can circulate freely around the back and the top of the cabinet. There must also be at least 100 mm (4�) distance between the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be positioned beneath overhanging furniture (B). There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of the appliance. Do not obstruct the space
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the

Normal Operating Sounds
¥ You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves. When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint �click� when the thermostat cuts in and out.

Rear spacers
In the bag with the documentation, there are two spacers which must be fitted as shown in the figure. Slacken the screws and insert the spacer under the screw head, then re-tighten the screws.
