Temperature control

and adjustment

Temperature is controlled by the thermostat

knob

(Fig. 2)

. "Number 4" is the coldest

setting.

The normal storage temperature of your

appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower

temperatures may be obtained by adjusting

the thermostat knob towards Position 4.

We recommend checking the temperature with

a thermometer to ensure that the storage

compartments are kept to the desired

temperature. Remember to take the reading

immediately since the thermometer temperature

will rise very rapidly after you remove it from

the freezer.

Please remember that each time the door is

opened cold air escapes and the internal

temperature rises. Therefore never leave the

door open and ensure it is closed immediately

after food is put in or removed.

Before operating

Final Check

Before you start using the freezer check that:

1.

 The interior is dry and air can circulate freely

at the rear.

2.

 The interior is clean as recommended under

"CLEANING AND CARE."

3.

 The plug is inserted into the wall socket and

the electricity supply is switched on. Avoid

accidental disconnection by taping over the

switch. Green and red lights will glow and the

compressor will start running.

And note that:
4.

 You will hear a noise as the compressor

starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within

the refrigeration system may also make some

noise, whether the compressor is running or

not. This is quite normal.

5.

 If you are going to store ready-frozen food,

open the freezer door and check that the fast-

freeze switch is off (the amber light will not

come on). The red light will go out when the

freezer has reached the correct temperature.

Then you can put in your ready-frozen food.

(See Storing Frozen Food section).

6.

 If you are going to freeze fresh food, you

must press the fast-freeze switch.

The amber light will come on and you must

wait at least three hours before putting in your

fresh food to be frozen. (See Freezing Fresh

Food section).

7.

 We recommend setting the thermostat knob

at 3 and monitoring the temperature to ensure

the appliance maintains desired storage

temperatures (see section "Temperature control

and adjustment").

8.

 Do not load the appliance immediately it is

switched on. Wait until the correct storage

temperature has been reached. We recommend

that you check the temperature with an accurate

thermometer (see; Temperature Control and

Adjustment).

Important Note:

If there is a power failure do not open the door.

Frozen food should not be affected if the failure

lasts for less than 16 hours. If the failure is

longer, then the food should be checked and

either eaten immediately or cooked and then

re-frozen.
