Switching on the appliance and setting the thermostat You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply and setting the thermostat. The thermostat control knob is located at the top of the appliance. o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the freezer, depending on what number you have turned the thermostat control knob to:o Position <0> means that the appliance will not cool. However the light will still function.

The freezer compartment The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food.
Freezing fresh food o To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food specified above, you should turn the thermostat knob to position <4>, 24 hours prior to attempting freezing. o For smaller quantities of fresh food, you should turn the thermostat knob to position <4>, approximately 6 hours prior to attempting freezing. o Alternatively you can use the fast freeze option (see the “Freezing with fast freeze” section of this booklet). o Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or packaging.
o Do not place bottles (glass or tin) containing liquids (especially sparkling liquids) into the freezer as they could cause the bottle to burst during freezing. Making ice cubes o Fill an ice cube tray with water and place it in the freezer compartment. o After the water is completely frozen and turned to ice, you can twist the ice cube tray (as shown in the drawing below) to dispense the ice.
o The freezer temperature will decrease and the appliance will get to its lowest temperature. o Place the food that is to be frozen inside the freezer. o Once the food is frozen, you should switch off the fast freeze setting. DO NOT SWITCH OFF THE FAST FREEZE SETTING UNTIL THE FOOD IS FULLY FROZEN. o The orange fast freeze light will go out and your appliance will return to normal operation. o IMPORTANT: DO NOT LEAVE THE APPLIANCE RUNNING IN FAST FREEZE MODE FOR LONGER THAN 24 HOURS AT A TIME.
o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply. Defrosting the freezer compartment The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically.

The number of times that you need to defrost it, will depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much food you freeze and store in the freezer.
o You should not attempt to freeze fresh food inside the freezer until this 24 hour time period has elapsed. o Do not defrost the appliance with other electrical devices (e.g. hair dryer).
