[. . . ] In the event of damage please contact your retailer. s Installation s s s s s s This appliance is heavy. It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way. Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Important: if the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or your local Service Force Centre. [. . . ] When you first start the freezer or after a period of non-use, press the fast-freeze button 2-3 hours before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light lights up). If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze button should be activated about 24 hours before freezing fresh food. This time can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in the two top compartments of the freezer as this is the coldest part; if freezing only a small amount of food, always use the top compartment. Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze button to the «OFF» position; the yellow light goes off. 5 Thawing Deep frozen or 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. Ice making Fill the ice tray with water to the top of each ice cube compartment, and place it in the freezer. Never use a sharp instrument to remove ice from the tray. HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods. When defrosting is completed, remove the water that has collected in the small bottom drawer and dry the interior thoroughly. Turn the thermostat control to a medium setting and, after letting the appliance run for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode, replace the previously removed food into the compartments. Important A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their storage life. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could dam age the appliance beyond repair. Important In the event of a power failure causing the temperature within your freezer to rise, do not re-freeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you: Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded. Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them. Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be re-frozen as cooked dishes. Chicken: should also be cooked and refrozen as a cooked dish. 7 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
