Operation
Before Use
Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5m1 to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
The red light will go out when the freezer has returned to the correct temperature.
Freezing Fresh Food
It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible. If more than 3-4kg of food is to be frozen: 1. Press the square `Super' button 6-24 hours before placing the fresh food in the freezer. The freezer will now run continuously, creating a sufficient reserve of the temperature required. (The yellow light will illuminate) Place the food in the freezer and leave the `Super' button on for a further 24 hours. After 24 hours, press the `Super' button again (the yellow light will go out). The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. If the `Super' button is accidentally left on, the freezer will not be damaged, but energy will be wasted.
Starting the Appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The green pilot light will illuminate to show that the appliance is switched on. The red alarm light will also illuminate until the freezer reaches the correct temperature.

Temperature Control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat situated on the lower front of the cabinet. To operate the freezer, proceed as follows:When you first start the freezer we suggest that you turn the thermostat to a medium setting ie 3-4. The correct setting can be found by measuring the temperature of the top middle package in the freezer. This should not have a temperature higher than -18°C. 1 = Lowest setting, minimum cold 7 = Highest setting, maximum cold Allow the freezer to run for several hours before placing food inside. Do not fill the freezer to more than 5mm below the top edge.
Frozen Food Storage
When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 2 hours before storing frozen food. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer. Do not open the lid frequently or leave it open longer than is necessary.
Opening/Closing the Lid
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to prevent moisture entering the freezer, increasing the amount of frost formed.
When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer becomes slightly warmer and expands. When the lid is closed again the air is cooled immediately. This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard to open the lid again immediately. This is quite normal. Wait for a few minutes until the vacuum has subsided and then open gently. Never use excessive force on the handle.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer. Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer can cause a low temperature skin burn. Do not remote items from the freezer if your abrasions or frostlfreezer burns. In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. Do not open the lid. Should the food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and Tips) hands are damplwet, as this could cause skin
Alarm Light
The red alarm light will illuminate when the temperature in the freezer is higher than the thermostat setting. This alarm light will illuminate if: The appliance has just been started. Fresh food has been put in the freezer. The lid has been left open, opened frequently or open for too long.
