Before first use
You must allow the freezer to settle for at least four hours prior to switching the power on.
It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a
solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water and then thoroughly drying the interior.
The freezer may have an odor to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.
Please note:
The appliance will start on temperature setting 3 and work continuously until it comes down
to the correct temperature.
If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to
prevent unnecessary damage to the compressor.
Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or alkalis in the
appliance.
This freezer cools your food by making the inside back of the cavity cold. It is normal for frost
to build up on this surface; it then dissipates and drains through a small drain at the bottom,
where it evaporates harmlessly. The presence of some frosting is not a malfunction of the
freezer.
Freezer use
• The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food.
• Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool fully before putting them
into the freezer.
• Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen food. If no information is
provided, foods should not be stored for more than three months after the purchase date.
• Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg). This reduces the freezing time and
improves the quality of the food after thawing.
• Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the wrapping sticking together, ensure it
is dry.
• Label the food before freezing with information including type of food and dates of storage
and expiry.
• Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen unless it has been completely cooked. Only
defrost as much food as is required to prevent wastage.
• Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment as they could
explode.
• Check the rating plate to confirm the maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen
within a 24 hour period.
Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.
