Operation
1). Preparation
• Before first use, clean the appliance interior
and exterior surface with a damped cloth and
some mild cleaning agent.
• Hang the basket (4) in a desired position inside
the cabinet.
Then, close the lid of the appliance.
Note: As the lid is equipped with a tightly clos-
ing seal, it is not easy to reopen it shortly after
closing (due to the vacuum formed inside).
Wait a few minutes before reopen the lid.
2). Start operation
Switching ON
• Insert the plug to a suitable electrical outlet.
• Turn the temperature regulator in clockwise
direction away from the “0” position.
• The digital temperature display will show the
current temperature inside the cabinet.
• To enable the temperature to get sufficiently
cold inside the appliance, allow the appliance
to run for few hours before placing food in-
side.
Switching OFF
• Turn the temperature regulator in anti-clock-
wise direction back to the “0” position, allow
the appliance to run for few hours before plac-
ing food inside.
• The cooling system will then switch OFF.
Switching OFF for long period of time
If the appliance is not going to be used for long
period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday
• unplug the appliance from the main electrical
supply;
• defrost the appliance and then clean it and
leave the lid open to air the appliance.
3). Freezing fresh food
• Freeze only those food that are allowed for
freezing or those that can preserve in low
temperature.
• The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for long period of time.
• Ensure the food is packed properly using suit-
able packaging. The packaging should be air-
proof and waterproof. Do not put inside the
freezer the food without any packaging.
• DO NOT place glass bottle or jar with liquid
inside the appliance. It may causes the glass
bottle to crack
• Remember not to refreeze the food that have
been defrosted. The defrosted food should be
consumed quickly or cooked at once.
• Avoid mix up of fresh food with those already
frozen. Frozen food may start thawing and the
use before date are not met.
• Important: When cooling drinks, make sure
bottles are not left in the freezer as it may
burst when freezing.
4). Storage of frozen food
• Follow the storage recommendations on the
food packaging. If no recommendation provid-
ed, the food may be stored up to 3 months.
• Do not open the lid frequently or leave it open
longer than necessary.
• Do not exceed storage time indicated by the
food manufacturer
• For fresh food, observe the following general
storage time:
- Fish and processed meat do not exceed 6
months;
- Cheese, poultry, pork, lamb do not exceed 8
months;
- Beef, fruit and vegetables do not exceed 12
months.
• Note: Above time is just for reference only.
5). Food defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways:
- in a microwave oven;
- at room temperature;
- in the refrigerator (the cold given off by the
frozen food helps to keep other food cold);
- in a steam oven.
Poultry: It is particular important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do
not use liquid come from the defrosted poultry.
Pour it away and wash the container it was in,
the sink and your hands, wear gloves (not sup-
plied) if necessary.
Important: Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon
as possible for the reason of hygiene and due to
loss of nutritional value.
