Tips for Using the Appliance

• Do not store food uncovered in the freezer. Always use good quality, freezer-proof packaging to maintain food quality. Remove air from packages of solid food and seal bags tightly before freezing.
• Keep portions small to ensure they are frozen (and subsequently defrosted) rapidly.
• Make sure that fresh, unfrozen food packages do not touch food that is already frozen, thus avoiding a temperature rise in the frozen food.
• When freezing food, do not push food together too much, leave some space for air to circulate around each item. Do not place packages directly against the back wall.
• When buying frozen food, only buy quantities that you can store straight away; use an insulated container for your shopping and when you get home, place the food in the freezer immediately.
• When storing pre-packed, commercially frozen food, follow the food manufacturer’s instructions for storing the food in a home freezer. Do not exceed any storage times listed on the packaging.
• Once you have opened a packet of frozen food, re-wrap it airtight to prevent surface evaporation which causes drying or freezer burn.
• Do not place carbonated liquids such as bottles of fizzy drinks in the freezer as the container could explode under pressure and damage the freezer.
• Do not refreeze food once it has been defrosted.
• Frozen food that has thawed accidentally should either be used immediately or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted, it may be cooked and then refrozen.
• CAUTION! Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp or wet as this could cause skin abrasions.

Tips for Energy Saving

• The appliance should be placed in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts. Please avoid placement in direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance.
• Do not overload the appliance with unfrozen food as this may cause it to freeze slowly and risk food spoilage.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost building up inside the unit.
• Please do not wrap items in aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towel. These materials interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, ensuring the unit is opened as few times as possible.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Defrosting
The chest freezer requires manual defrosting. For efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer compartment when the frost on the freezer walls is building up. Do not let frost build up to more than 3–4mm thickness. For efficiency, choose a time when your stock of frozen food is low.

• Unplug the freezer and open the door. Remove the food and storage basket. (Keep any frozen food temporarily in a fridge or cooler bag to keep defrosting to a minimum.)
• During defrosting, any ice and frost that has accumulated will melt into the freezer cabinet. To drain the water, open the drainage hole (Fig. 2). When the ice softens, an ice scraper can be used to help speed up the process.

Cleaning
WARNING
Before cleaning the appliance, make sure it is switched off and disconnected from the power supply. Failure to do so can result in electric shock or injury.

• Wash the inside surfaces and the interior accessories with a damp, warm cloth moistened in a water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 liter of water. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Clean the outside of the unit with a damp, well wrung-out cloth, keeping the area of the controls dry. Keep the lid gasket (seal) clean.
• Never use boiling water to accelerate defrosting as it may damage the plastic components.
• Regularly check the drain in the freezer to defrost water. If necessary, clean the drain. If the drain is blocked, water will collect in the base of the appliance.
• After cleaning/defrosting, push the drain plugin and also re-plug the drain plug inside the freezer cabinet.
• After everything is dry, place the appliance back into service.
• Allow approximately 1–2 hours for the cabinet to cool down again (depending on the length of time the freezer was disconnected from the power).
  WARNING Never clean the unit with an abrasive, acid, oil, or solvent- based cleaning agent. Never use flammable fluids or sprays for cleaning as the fumes from these substances can create a fire hazard or Explosion.

Maintenance and Cleaning Continued
Interior light
This chest freezer has an interior LED light bulb built into the lid (Fig. 3 ). It alights and extinguishes automatically when the lid is opened and closed. If the light bulb needs replacing, contact our after-sales support on 1300 256 426 to book a service call. The light bulb can only be replaced by properly qualified service personnel.
Service, repair, and spare parts
Do not attempt to alter or modify this appliance in any way, or to repair or replace any part unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. Contact our after-sales support for advice.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, take proper steps to protect the contents.
Leveling the Unit
The appliance has 2 adjustable legs and 2 directional wheels. (Fig. 3 )
