› Before using your freezer, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water and a teaspoon of
sodium bicarbonate. Then, rinse with clean water and dry. Return all parts to the freezer
after cleaning.
› Remove all transport tapes and foam protection pieces. Clean the interior with a cloth
dampened in lukewarm soap and water. Rinse with clean water and dry.
› Your freezer may have an odour when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the
odour will fade when your freezer starts to cool.
› When the appliance has been positioned, adjust the feet to ensure the unit is stable. This is
essential to ensure quiet running and proper door opening/closing.
WARNING
Connect to the electrical socket but do not switch the power to the freezer on for at least 3
hours. The coolant within the product needs time to settle after it has been transported and put
into position, failure to do this will affect the cooling performance of your appliance.
› Once the appliance has settled, locate the thermostat dial on the product, set to “5” and
switch the power on. The compressor will begin to work. Close the door.
› We recommend that the door is not opened for a minimum of 4 hours to allow the
appliance to reach the standard operating temperature.
› You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped to the
cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of the appliance. When the
compressor is in operation you may hear a slight whirring sound. The thermostat controls
the operation of the compressor, and you may hear a slight click as it cycles in and out, this
is normal.
