Electrical Connection

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.

Φ 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.

ΦAll 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.

ΦPlace 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.

ΦIf 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.
