[. . . ] Contact Expert Appliance Care. Child Safety Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product. Keep packaging material away from children! At the end of the Appliance Life When disposing of your appliance use an authorised disposal site. Remove the plug and ensure that any locks or catches are removed, to prevent young children being trapped inside. The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. [. . . ] Place the food in the freezer and leave the thermostat set at 'fast freeze' for a further 24 hours. If you forget to turn the thermostat control knob back, the freezer will not be damaged, but energy will be wasted. 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. Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen. Lock (Not a standard accessory for all models) The lock works as shown. Frozen Food Storage When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 2 hours before storing frozen food. Do not open the lid frequently or leave it open longer than is necessary. Keep the key out of the reach of children Important Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer. Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer can cause 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 frost/freezer burns. The food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. This heat also helps to prevent the formation of moisture on the outside of the appliance which could cause rust. 8 Defrosting The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided whenever the thickness of frost exceeds ¼". During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to perform this operation when the appliance is empty. Remove any stored food, wrap in several layers of newspaper and store in a cool place. To accelerate the defrosting process place a bowl of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and close the lid. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly and replace the plug on the defrost water drain. Reconnect the appliance to the electricity and leave to run for at least 2 hours on a medium setting. Replace the previously removed food. Important A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as this could damage the appliance beyond repair. 9 Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply Internal Cleaning Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0. 5 litre of water). NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave a strong odour. External Cleaning Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. When the Appliance is not in Use When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the lid open to prevent unpleasant smells.

Use a wooden block or similar object to compensate for any bumps/holes in the floor's surface. Temperatures of the external environment have an impact on the energy consumption of the device. Therefore: -do not put the device to a place exposed to sunshine ore besides a radiator or oven, -put it to a place where the temperature of the environment corresponds to the climatic classification for which the device was designed.
