Features of your 110 Litre Upright Freezer

Coil Free Back Design Ice Cube Tray

Slide-out Baskets

Adjustable Levelling Leg Rubber Door Seals

Temperature Control Knob

Your freezer has a variable temperature controller. As a general rule it is best to set the temperature control on 3. The range of the temperature control is from position 1 the warmest to 5 the coldest. When the temperature control is set at O, the freezer will stop operation.

Adjustable Levelling Leg

Its height is adjustable to ensure stability of your freezer. When the freezer is not level, turn the adjustable levelling leg to level the freezer.

Baskets
For freezing and storing your frozen foods.

Rubber Door Seals

The rubber door seals help to insulate the freezer, preventing external air getting into the freezer. Be careful to upkeep the rubber seals as they need to be cleaned regularly.

Ice Cube Tray

There is an ice tray supplied with your freezer. To remove the ice cubes from the trays more easily, place over an ice bucket and twist slightly to loosen the ice.

Installing Your Freezer

Before using your freezer, remove the exterior and interior packing. Keep 50 mm of space between the back of the freezer and the wall and 100 mm between the side of the freezer and the wall. Do not shorten the power cord or fold into coil during operation. It is not recommended that the cord is kept close to the compressor at the back of the freezer, as the surface temperature is quite high when operating. Making contact with the two would de-activate the insulation or cause electricity leakage. Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause its metal parts to become rusty. Do not spray water at the freezer as this may cause a short circuit, rust metal parts or weaken the insulation. Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Place your freezer on a oor that is strong enough to support the weight of the freezer when it is fully loaded. Do not place the freezer on any soft material such as foam, plastic, etc. Do not place anything that may echo near the freezer. To level your freezer, adjust the legs at the front of the freezer. Keep your freezer away from any volatile or combustibles substances such as gas, petrol, alcohol, lacquer and banana oil, etc. The abovementioned objects, or similar, can not be stored in the freezer. Be sure the freezer stays in the upright position during transportation. This freezer should only be used with a power supply of single phase alternating current of 220-240V~ 50Hz.

Reversing the Door Swing of Your Freezer

This freezer has the capability of either opening the door from the left or right side. The unit is delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the opening direction, please follow these instructions.

NOTE: All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door.

Remove the two screws (1) that hold the lower hinge (2) (right side) to the frame. Also remove the screw-type levelling front leg (3). Remove the left front leg (4) and transfer it to the right side. Lift the door and place it on a padded surface to prevent scratching it. Make sure to remove the spring (5) located inside the upper right hole of the door and the upper right side pin (6). Remove the plug button (7) from the upper left hole of the door and transfer it to the uncovered hole at the right side. Be sure to press the button rmly into the hole. Insert the upper pin (6) previously removed from the right side (step 3) and transfer it to the other hole at the left side of the top frame. Insert the spring (5) previously removed (step 3) inside the upper left side hole of the door. Set the door in its place making sure the pin (6) enters the bushing at the lower upper frame section (hole). While holding the door in the closed position, secure the lower left hinge (2) previously removed (step 1). Before placing this lower hinge, remove the upper bolt-pin (8) and reverse the direction of the hinge. Insert the bolt-pin (8) and do not tighten until the top of the door is levelled with the counter top. Insert the two screws (1) previously removed (step 1) and tighten them.

Note: Ensure all parts are kept in a safe place whilst reversing the freezer door.

Storing Foods
Do not store food stuffs in the freezer too close together. This will interfere with cold air circulation and make the freezer less efcient. To ensure that food stored in the freezer does not become dry place it in freezer-safe containers or freezer bags.

Defrosting Your Freezer

Figure 1 (Position prior to door reversal)
For the most efcient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or 5 mm thick. Unplug the freezer. Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler or fridge to preserve the food. Open the door, remove the lower basket from the freezer and place a towel at the bottom to soak up the water and ice. Once all ice has melted, remove towel and wipe up any excess water from the base of the freezer and re-install basket. Plug cord into power and switch on. Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove food or frost as it may damage the inner surface.

Troubleshooting Guide
You can solve many common freezer problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible service call. Try the suggestions below to see if you can solve the problem before calling the service. Freezer does not operate. A owing (water trickle) sound can be heard. The cabinets side panel heats up. Not plugged in. The circuit breaker tripped or blown fuse. The freezer temperature control is set at O. The temperature control is not set correctly. Too much food is stored in the freezer, interfering with the cold air circulation. The door is opened too often. The door is not completely closed. The door seals do not seal properly. It is the sound of refrigerant owing, not a fault.

Freezer is not cold enough.

It results from the dissipation of the heat from inside the cabinet. Does not mean something is wrong with the freezer. Condensation will form on the outside of the freezer if it operates in moist areas. Condensation does not fault the freezer, therefore wipe the surface dry. The freezer is not level. The freezer bumps the wall. When the room temperature is below 100C, the compressor will operate for a short time then stop for a long time. This will continue to happen intermittently. The temperature control dial may be set too cold. There is bad ventilating around the freezer. The door is not closed completely. The door seal does not seal properly. The door is opened too often. The freezer is not level. The door is reversed and not properly installed. The rubber seals are dirty.

Condensation forms on the outside of the freezer.

The freezer seems to make too much noise. In winter, the freezer does not operate.

In summer, the freezer does not stop.

The door will not close properly.
