[. . . ] In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. Should the food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and Tips) To Start the Appliance 1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hrs after installation. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply. Turn the thermostat control to 'Super' and leave to run for 4 hours to allow the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside. Turn the thermostat control knob to 'Normal'. Thermostat Control The thermostat control knob situated on the side of the cabinet regulates the temperature inside the freezer. Turning the thermostat control knob clockwise makes the temperature progressively colder. Stop Normal Super Off To store To Freeze 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. Freezing Fresh Food It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible. Turn the thermostat control knob to 'Super' 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer. The freezer will now run continuously, creating a sufficient reserve of the temperature required. Place the food on the freezing shelf of the freezer and leave the thermostat control knob in the 'Super' position for a further 24 hours. After 24 hours, return the thermostat control knob to the 'Normal' position. The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. Place the frozen food in the storing compartment. If the thermostat control knob is left in the 'Super' position, the freezer will not be damaged, but energy will be wasted. To Make Ice Cubes 1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place on the freezing shelf and leave to freeze. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.
