Warning: This appliance must be earthed. For your convenience, this appliance comes complete with either a moulded-on or re-wireable 13 amp (BS1363) plug, protected by a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS1362) fuse. In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a replacement 13 amp ASTA approved (BS1362) fuse must be used. In the case of a moulded-on plug, the fuse cover MUST be refitted after changing fuse. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged the plug MUST NOT be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement covers are avaliable from your local electricity shop or nearest customer service centre. The colour of the replacement fuse cover must match the colour insert or emboss on the base of the plug. In the case of a re-wireable plug care must be taken to ensure that the top cover is refitted without causing damage to either the top cover or base. In the event of the plug becoming damaged or cracked, it must be replaced with an equivalent 13 amp, BS1363 approved plug (ref. 1) and rewired using the following procedure: 4 IMPORTANT The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and Yellow Earth Blue Neutral Brown Live HOW TO USE TEMPERATURE CONTROL The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is maintained in the freezer. 7 makes the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the knob towards no.

Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides of the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with the frozen food already in the freezer. Never fill the freezer to more than 5 mm below the top edge. See under Helpful hints. CAPACITY The freezing capacity of the freezer is stated in the data plate (kg/24 hours). [. . . ] The best time to clean your freezer is after defrosting and before the electricity supply is connected again. Use hot water, and a mild, non-aromatic cleaning agent. After cleaning the freezer, clean the basket/baskets before replacing them. IMPORTANT Never use strong cleaning agents, scouring powder or strongly aromatic cleaning agents to clean your freezer inside, since this will damage the inside and leave a strong smell. EXTERNAL CLEANING Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. [. . . ]
