The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13 A fuse. Should the fuse need to be
replaced an ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not forget
to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a
replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the
same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from any
good electrical store.
WARNING: Do not locate extension sockets or charging transformers/power supplies or
Lithium-Iron battery operated products adjacent to the compressor as they could overheat.
IMPORTANT! FITTING A DIFFERENT PLUG
As the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of this appliance may
not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals
in your plug proceed as follows:
(See diagram).
1. Connect the green-yellow or
green (Earth) wire to the terminal
in the plug marked 'E' or with
the symbol or coloured
green and yellow or green.
2. Connect the blue (Neutral) wire
to the terminal in the plug
marked 'N' or coloured black.
3. Connect the brown (Live) wire to

This appliance has been designed to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43 degrees C
(109 degrees F). When first installed the product MUST NOT be placed in
low ambient temperatures because the freezer will not reduce to it’s standard operating
temperature. Once it has reached its steady operating state it can be re-located. So you
may then install your appliance in a garage or an unheated room without having to worry
about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. When the ambient temperature returns to
normal, you may change the knob setting to suit your needs. If the ambient temperature is
below 0°C, the food in the fridge compartment will freeze. So, we recommend you don’t use
the fridge compartment in such low ambient conditions. You can continue using the freezer
compartment as usual.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. The space in the room where the appliance is installed must not be smaller than 10 cubic
metres.
2. If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in the fridge compartment will freeze.
So, we recommend you don't use the fridge compartment in such low ambient conditions.
You can continue using the freezer compartment as usual.

with the appliance rotating 1/4 turn to the
condenser on the back of the appliance
by rotating 1/4 turn. (see diagram).
5. The fridge/freezer should be located on a
smooth surface. The two front feet can be
adjusted as required. To ensure that,
your appliance is standing upright adjust
the two front feet by turning clockwise or
anti-clockwise, until the product is in
firm contact with the floor. Correct
adjustment of feet avoids excessive
vibration and noise.
6. Refer to cleaning and care section to prepare
your appliance for use.
WARNING!
Do not connect your appliance to the electricity
supply until all the packing and transit protectors
have been removed including polystyrene block(s)
inserted between the compressor motor and
the cabinet (see diagrams).
Do not remove the plastic drain tray fitted above
the compressor motor on models with
auto - defrost fridge.
COMPRESSOR
3. Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight as this will cause
your appliance to work harder. If installed next to a source of heat or freezer, maintain

BEFORE OPERATING
Final Check
Before you start using the freezer check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
3. The interior is clean as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."
4. The plug is inserted into the wall socket and the electricity supply is switched on. Avoid
accidental disconnection by taping over the switch.
And note that:
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the
refrigeration system may also make some noise, whether the compressor is running or not.
This is quite normal.
6. To freeze the fresh foods use the compartment marked with 4 stars (recomanded
second shelf).
7. Don't put in freezer a too big quantity of foods in the same time. The foods quality is
well kept if they are deeply frozen in the shortest time possible. Therefore it is preferable do
not exceed the freezing capacity of the appliance shown in " ". TheAppliance record
thermostat knob shall be adjusted in order to obtain the lowest temperature inside the
freezer, with the fast freeze function activated and the orange lamp lighting.
8. 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).
Important Note:
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 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked
and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
9
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
The freezer temperature is influenced by the freezer temperature set button ( recomanded
are 2 or 3 position).
Generally, this temperature is bellow -18°C lowertemperatures can be obtained by adjusting
the thermostat knob towards position MAX.
We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the storage
compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember to take the reading
immediately since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it
from the freezer.
Please remember that 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.
Freezer control panel
The control panel adjusts the temperature in the freezer and has the following functions:
1 - Orange led - Fast freeze on
When you turn the freezer temperature set buton (4) to the „FAST FREEZE”position, the
orange led (1) will lit and the appliance will run in lowest temperature conditions. The
orange LED stops to lit after 50 hours of running in lowest temperature conditions.
2 - Green led - electricity on (Voltage)
Lights when the appliance is connected to the network and remains lit as long as it is
available power supply. LED green does not provide information on temperature
inside the freezer.
3 - Red Led - High Temperature Alarm
4 - Setting temperature buton
High temperature alarm
After the appliance is turned on for the first time the alarm is not active for 12 hours (red led
is off).
After this period, red led can lights (red led is on) in the following cases:
- If the appliance is overloaded with fresh food
- If the door is left open by mistake.
In these cases the red led will remain lit until the appliance reached the preset temperature.
If the red led is on wait for 24 hours before to announce the authorized service.
Important:
The temperatures obtained inside can vary according to the conditions of use of the
appliance: location, ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, degree of loading
with food. The temperature setting will be modified according to these conditions.
If the red led is on wait for 24 hours before to announce the authorized service.
It could be the warm food placed inside the freezer and/or the door who was left open.
In 24 hrs of functioning the allarm for hight temperature (red led) it should be off.

FREEZE
Fast freeze function
To activate FAST FREEZING function, please adjust the temperature setting knob to „FAST
FREEZE”position. It is advised that you place the foodstuffs that you wish to freeze faster in
the freezer compartment 24 hours after you activate fast freezing function. While fast freezing is
activated, your refrigerator runs at lowest temperature setting for freezer. Fast freeze function
lasts for 50 hours. After terminated, your refrigerator reverts to normal use conditions with a
temperature setting of 3 even though the knob is still employed at „FAST FREEZE”position.
This ecodesign feature provides energy saving when fast freezing function is not cancelled for
any reason. Freezing capacity of your refrigerator is measured and declared while fast freezing
function is active.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of commercially frozen foods and also can be
used to freeze and store fresh food.
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 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
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.
If large amounts of fresh food are going to be
frozen, adjust the control knob to „FAST FREEZE”position with 24 hours before putting the
fresh food in the fast freeze compartment.
It is strongly recommended to keep the knob
at „FAST FREEZE”position at least 24 hours to freeze maximum amount of fresh food declared
as freezing capacity. Take special care not to mix frozen food and fresh food.
Small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without fast freezer function
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
MAKING ICE CUBES
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the Ice Bank. Loosen frozen trays
with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks. Store ice-
cubes in the Ice Bank.
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored in Ice
Bank, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.

DEFROSTING
Please defrost the freezer compartment at least twice a year or when the ice layer is too thick.
Ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.▪
The ice build-up, especially in the upper side of the compartment is a natural phenomenon▪
and does not affect the good functionning of the appliance.
It is recommended to defrost the appliance when the quantity of frozen food is not too big.▪
Before the defrosting set the adjusting thermostat button on the maximum position in order▪
to strongly freeze the foods. During this time, the temperature in the refrigerator must not be
too low.
Unplug the appliance▪
Take out the frozen foods, pack them in several paper sheets and put them in a cool place.▪
Let the door open for a quick defrosting and put inside vessels with warm water (max.80°C).▪
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.
When defrosting has finished, close the defrosting part and dry the interior thoroughly.
