In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating
plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the
cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets,
the maximum quantity that can be frozen is slightly
less.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the
ÇNÈ 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.
Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least two hours in the Çfast
freezeÈ mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers and baskets from appliance (except for the
last one at the bottom) and place food on the cooling
shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated
on the wall of the upper section (where
applicable).
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Ice Iollies, 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
Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ.
Important
In the event of a power cut do not open the door.
The food in the freezer will not be affected if the
power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should
the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly
and must not be re-frozen.
Thawing
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.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing
any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the
oven instructions, particularly regarding the
placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in
the oven.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with one or more plastic
ice cube trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand
and place them in one of the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight
twist. Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.

INSTALLATION
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 (4Ó) 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
underneath.
Rear spacers
The plastic bag containing all relevant
documentation also contains two spacers to be fitted
into special holes in the back of the appliance.
Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure
that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in the
diagram. Then turn them through 45¡ (arrow (A)
vertical) until they lock into place.
DO NOT install in places with restricted ventilation.
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the
adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet
using your fingers.
