5. This appliance is equipped with
'Freezer Guard' which ensures that
at the advised setting [4 - four on
the control] the frozen food in the
freezer will not defrost even if the
ambient temperature falls as low as
-15 °C. So you may then install your
appliance in a garage or an unheated
room without having to worry about
frozen food in the freezer being spoilt.
Dispose of your old refrigerator without
giving any harm to the environment.
•You may consult your authorised dealer
or waste collection center of your
municipality about the disposal of
your refrigerator.
Before disposing of your refrigerator, cut
out the electric plug and, if there are
any locks on the door, make them

4 Before operating
Final Check
Important Notes :
Before you start using the freezer
check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted and
the product is level.
2. The interior is dry and air can
circulate freely at the rear.
3. Clean the interior as recommended
under "CLEANING AND CARE."
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply.
Avoid accidental disconnection by
taping over the switch.
5. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid and
gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
whether the compressor is running or
not which is quite normal.
1. If there is a power failure do not open
the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than
19 hours. If the failure is longer, then
the food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and then
re-frozen.
2. If you find the freezer door difficult to
open just after you have closed it, don't
worry. This is due to the pressure
difference which will equalise and allow
the door to open normally after a few
minutes.
3. Always wrap food using a suitable
packaging material before storing in
your appliance to avoid contact with the
appliance surface and food remains for
hygiene reasons.
7. Front edges of the cabinet may feel
warm. This is normal. These areas are
designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
4. The appliance may go OFF
when the thermostat is adjusted below
MIN. position. When the green indicator
light is OFF, the appliance is turned OFF
also.
9. Do not load the appliance
immediately it is switched on. Wait
until the correct storage temperature
has been reached. We recommend
that you check the temperature
with an accurate thermometer (see;
Temperature Control and Adjustment).
Once it is turned OFF (even
for defrosting), please adjust the
thermostat somewhere above MIN
to be sure that it is turned ON again.
When the appliance is turned ON, the
green indicator will light up.

To start defrosting procedure turn the
thermostat to zero position
(Alternatively you may switch off the
freezer at the socket outlet and pull out
the mains plug.)
All food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper and stored in a
cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove all freezer drawers.The special
defrost collection basin collects the
defrost water. Therefore defrosting can
be conducted without mess.
Containers full of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to speed
up the defrosting.
• Frequent opening of the door and
leaving the door open for long
periods,
• Food put into the refrigerator
without cooling down to the room
temperature,
• The location of the refrigerator in the
room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).
You may adjust the varying interior
temperature due to such reasons by
using the thermostat. If the ambient
temperature is higher than 32°C, turn
the thermostat button to maximum
position.
Storing the frozen food
Prepacked commercially frozen food
should be stored in accordance
with the frozen food manufacturer's
Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks to

storage compartment.
The freezing area is marked with
symbol on the door liner.
To ensure that the high quality
achieved by the frozen food
manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained the following should be
remembered:
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase.
2. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best
Before" dates on the packaging.
