This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or

lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with

the appliance.

BEFORE STARTING YOUR FREEZER

It is important that your freezer stands solidly positioned on the

oor. To compensate for any unevenness in the oor, adjustable

feet are provided on chest freezer models size 320 litres and above.

They are located at the right hand end of the freezer. Adjust the

feet when the appliance is installed (or when yo move it to another

location). When correctly adjusted the appliance will be rmly po-

sitioned on the oor.

If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualied service

technician. Plug this appliance directly into a GPO

Do not use a double adaptor, power board or extension cord.

WARNING: This appliance must be earthed!

For EU countries, the appliance must be positioned so that the

plug is accessible

CLEARANCES

For the most ecient operation of your freezer allow minimum

clearances of 5cm each side and the rear for air circulation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Plug into a properly earthed outlet and switch on.

Close the lid and wait for 3 to 4 hours.

Load food into the cabinet.

Adjusting Temperature

Leave the control knob at the original factory setting. This is correct

for most freezing and storing needs. However, the control setting

can be adjusted if required, by inserting a coin into the slot in the

control knob and turning. (Turn clockwise for colder temperatures).

You should only make small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see

whether you need to make further changes.

General Information

• During vacation leave your freezer operating in the normal manner.

However, if you decide to switch the freezer o for an extended

period, remove all food, clean and dry out the cabinet. Leave the lid

open making sure that accidental closure does not occur otherwise

odours will develop inside the freezer.

• The front or outside surface of your cabinet will be warm to touch.

This is normal.

• Due to the eective sealing of the lid gasket, you may nd that re-

opening the lid immediately after closing is more dicult than

usual. This is normal and should it occur wait a while

for air pressure to stabilise within the cabinet.

• Periodically a running water sound may be heard. This is the

compressor lubrication system operating and is normal.

FREEZING FOOD

Although food can be frozen anywhere in the freezer, it is advisable

when freezing fresh food to place the items to be frozen against

the sides of the chest freezer where they will freeze in the shortest

possible time.

Please Note.

If the operation of the freezer is interrupted, most foods will remain

frozen up to 24 hours if the lid is kept closed. If the interruption is

expected to be for a longer period, place dry ice around the food

and keep the lid closed until normal operation is resumed. Dry ice

is usually available from emergency services in capital cities and

most large country towns.

DEFROSTING AND CLEANING

Since the main purpose of your freezer is to preserve food, it

should be kept spotlessly clean at all times. Your freezer should be

defrosted when ice is approximately 6 mm thick; otherwise it will

interfere with ecient operation and reduce storage capacity. To

ensure hygiene and eciency, complete defrosting is recommended

AT LEAST twice each year,preferably when food supply is low.

To Defrost

• Switch o power to freezer at power outlet and remove cord.

• Remove frozen food, wrap in newspaper and place in a cardboard

box very small items and ice cream should be placed in another

freezer if possible.

• Lift out the internal drain plug from the drain

hole inside the freezer. The internal drain plug has a spout which

forms a T’, (see diagram). If dicult to remove, use “T” piece to

twist and pull.

• Remove the external drain plug from the front of the freezer and

push either end of the spout on the internal drain plug, into the

drain hole on the front of the freezer (see diagram).

• If required t one end of a drain hose (not provided), onto the

protruding end of the spout on the internal drain plug and locate

the other end of the hose into the household drainage, eg laundry

oortrap. NOTE You may choose to run this short hose into a

suitable tray or container, or you can connect your garden hose

onto the protruding drain spout and run the water outside into your

garden etc. If you use a tray or container ensure that it is large

enough to accept any water which may ow out.

- Pour approximately 1 litre of warm water down the drain, inside

the chest freezer, to clear it of possible ice residue.

- Leave the lid open and wait for the frost to soften; pans of hot

water may be placed inside the freezer to speed up defrosting.

- Scrape the softened frost o the walls, using a plastic scraper

DO NOT USE A KNIFE, METAL SCRAPER OR SHARP

POINTED TOOL TO REMOVE ICE AS THEY CAUSE DAMAGE

TO THE LINER SURFACE. Do not use mechanical devices or

other means to accelerate the defrosting process other than

those recommended by the manufacturer.

- After defrosting is complete and all of the water has drained,

wipe the freezer out with a damp cloth and dry, ensuring the

freezer inner surfaces are dry before reloading frozen food. Water

in the freezer can cause food to stick to liner when frozen.

- Remove spout from front face of freezer.

- Remove hose from spout.

- Replace the internal drain plug back into the drain hole inside

the freezer. Make sure it is seated properly and is tight.

- Replace the external drain plug.

- Reconnect power cord to power outlet and switch on.

- Reload the food to be frozen.

CLEANING

Interior - The interior should be cleaned when defrosting. Any

spilled food should be should be wiped up thoroughly and

promptly.

Exterior - It is a good idea to polish about once a year with a

high- grade wax like the one you use with your car, after that, an

occasional wipe over with a clean, damp cloth will help remove

ngermarks. Note: Do not wax plastic parts or decorative trim.

Wash these in warm (not hot) water and use an unscented

detergent. Avoid getting water on controls.

Avoid scouring pads, abrasive powders, metal polishes, aerosol

cleaners, methylated spirits and other solvents as they could

damage the easy to clean glossy surfaces.

Some pressurised aerosol containers use ammable propellants.

These containers can usually be identied by the word ammable

and/or a small red ame symbol. These products must not be

stored inside any freezer as an explosion may result.

SERVICE

WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

Here are some easy checks you can make yourself before you

call for service. You may easily locate the problem and save

yourself the inconvenience, time, and money of a service call.

IF FREEZER IS NOT OPERATING

- Check that the cord is plugged into the outlet properly and that

the outlet is switched “on”.

- Check with another appliance or lamp to see if the outlet has

electrical supply.

- Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly ‘colder’

position. (See “Adjusting temperature”).

IF THERE ARE INDICATIONS OF ODOUR

- Does interior need cleaning

- Some foods produce odours and should be covered.

- Check that containers and wrapping papers are not the cause.

- Did odour start about the same time you started storing

something dierent?

IF THE LID WILL NOT CLOSE

- Check the storage level of frozen food.

DISPOSAL

gases. Avoid safety hazards by carefully disposing of this

appliance.

friendly, but ammable, non-synthetic R600a refrigerant.

It does not damage the ozone layer:

• Ensure that the tubing of the refrigerant circuit is not damaged

during transportation and installation.

• Leaking refrigerant may cause eye injuries or ignite.

refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant in the appliance can be

found on the rating plate inside the appliance.

• In Queensland the authorised service person MUST hold a gas

work authorisation for hydrocarbon refrigerants to carry out
