GB Instructions for use

Indicator lights

There are three coloured indicator lights located inside the appliance which show the operating mode of the freezer (Fig. 2).

Green Indicator (1)

Illuminates when the appliance is connected to the mains and will glow as long as there is electricity present. The green light will not glow if the thermostat is set in the 'O' position. The green indicator does not give any indication of the temperature inside the freezer.

Amber Indicator (2)

This indicator will glow when the fast-freeze switch (4) is on and will continue to glow until the fast-freeze switch is turned off. The compressor will run continuously whilst the fast- freeze switch is on. Fast-freeze operation is for freezing fresh food (see Freezing Fresh Food, section).

Red Indicator (3) Illuminates:

a.When the appliance is first switched on, and will stay on until the pre-set temperature has been attained.

b.If the pre-set temperature can not be maintained.

c.If the appliance is overloaded with fresh food.

d.If the appliance door is left open accidentally.

Thermostat knob (5)

The thermostat knob is located on the indicator light frame.

Important:

When you press the fast-freeze switch, there may be a short delay before the compressor starts to operate. This is normal and not a compressor fault.

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.

For storing home-frozen fresh food refer to the storage-life guide on the door-liner.

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 centre as quickly as possible.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h.

Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration machine to operate continously until the food is frozen solid.

Fast freeze

If you are going to freeze fresh food in excess of 2 kg. (4.5 lb), turn on the fast-freeze switch and wait about three hours before placing the fresh food in the fast-freeze compartment Remember to turn off the fast-freeze switch. Leave the fast freeze switch on for about 24 hours if the maximum quantity is being frozen.

Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
