Do’s and don’ts
Do- Check contents of the freezer at regular
intervals.
Do- Clean and defrost your appliance
regularly (See "Defrosting")
Do- Keep food for as short a time as possible
and adhere to "Best Before" and "Use
By" dates.
Do- Store commercially frozen food in
accordance with the instructions given on
the packets.
Do- Always choose high quality fresh food
and be sure it is thoroughly clean before
you freeze it.
Do- Prepare fresh food for freezing in small
portions to ensure rapid freezing.
Do- Wrap frozen food immediately after
purchasing and put it in to the freezer as
soon as possible.
Do- Separate food in the compartments and
complete the contents card. This will
enable you to find food quickly and avoid
excessive door opening, which will save
electricity.
Don’t- Leave the door open for long periods,
as this will make the appliance more
costly to run and cause excessive ice
formation.
Don’t- Use sharp edged objects such as
knives or forks to remove the ice.
Don’t- Put hot food into the appliance. Let it
cool down first.
Don’t- Put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans
containing carbonated liquids into the
freezer, as they may burst.
Don’t- Store poisonous or any dangerous
substances in your appliance. It has
been designed for the storage of
edible foodstuffs only.
Don’t- Exceed the maximum freezing loads
when freezing fresh food.
Don’t- Consume ice-cream and water ices
direct from the freezer. The low
temperature may cause 'freezer
burns' on lips.
Don’t- Freeze fizzy drinks.
Don’t- Try to keep frozen food which has
thawed; it should be eaten within 24
hours or cooked and refrozen.
Don’t- Remove items from the freezer with
wet hands.
Don’t- Close the door before replacing the
fast-freeze compartment cover.
Troubleshooting
If the appliance does not operate when
switched on, check;
• That the plug is inserted properly in the
socket and that the power supply is on. (To
check the power supply to the socket, plug
in another appliance)
• Whether the fuse has blown/circuit breaker
has tripped/main distribution switch has
been turned off.
• That the temperature control has been set
correctly.
• That the new plug is wired correctly, if you
have changed the fitted, moulded plug.
If the appliance is still not operating at all after
above checks, contact the dealer from whom
you purchased the unit.
Please ensure that above checks have been
done, as a charge will be made if no fault is
found.
