Your freezer is designed for maintenance-free operation. It should never lack good ventilation. Air is supplied under the ventilation slot between the freezer and storage surface. Air is extracted through the upper ventilation grille. Never obstruct these openings. Electrical Connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely. Plug socket The plug socket necessary for connection of your appliance to the electricity supply should be positioned so that it is possible to pull out the appliance plug.

(1) and (2) equipped with its own refrig- erating unit. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, oth- erwise the frozen food could begin to defrost. Freezer drawers (3) and (4) should only be used for storage of frozen food. The lowest draw er has a solid floor and can be used for catching some of the melt- water when the freezer is beeing defrosted.
Preparation of Ice Cubes Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.

Each temperature rise reduces the keeping qualities of your frozen food. Around 12 hours before defrosting your freezer, switch over to fast freeze to build up a low temperature reserve in the frozen food. Warning! • Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process.
Magnetic door seal After opening and closing the door of your freezer whilst it is in operation, you will not immediately be able to open the door again because a vacuum will have developed inside, keeping the door closed until the pressures inside and outside the door have equalised.
Make sure the freezer door cannot come open during transport. Ensure that the freezer is the last item loaded onto the removal lorry, so that it is the first to be taken off and can be plugged in again at once.
