Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out
by a qualified electrician or competent person.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety mea-
sures not be observed.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same
as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is inside,
on the left.
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of having
to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved
(BS 1362) fuse must be used.
Important
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
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:
1.The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the termi-nal
marked with the letter „E” or by the earth symbol or coloured green
and yellow.
2.The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked „N”
or coloured black.
3.The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked „L”
or coloured red.
4.Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present
and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.
Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious
safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safety.
Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.

To freeze the maximum qantity of fresh food quoted on the
rating plate press the FAST FREEZE button 24 hours prior to
freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. The amber fast
freeze light illuminates.
The FAST FREEZE button need not be pressed for freezing
small quantities of up to 3 kg.
F F
All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry
out or lose their flavour, and so that no transfer of flavour to other frozen
goods occurs.
Caution! Do not touch the frozen foods with wet hands. Hands can
freeze to the goods.
F F
Place the packed food products into the freezer. Ensure they come into
contact with the side walls. Unfrozen goods may not come into contact
with already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods may start to thaw.
F F
If more products have to be frozen, keep on the fast freeze switch -
otherwise switch the fast freeze function off about 24 hours after inserting
the food products, for smaller quantities earlier.
Tips:
The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
special cans for frozen goods;
extra-thick aluminium foil
The following are suitable for closing bags and foil: plastic clips, rubber
bands or adhesive tape.
Before closing press out the air from the bags and foil, as air makes the
frozen products dry out more easily and wastes space.
Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste-like
goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
