Operation

Switching On Your Unit

1.  Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The 

internal temperature of your unit is controlled by a 

thermostat. There are four setting 

MIN

NORMAL

MAX

 and 

SUPER

.

2.  After the unit has been on for 20 minutes adjust 

the thermostat control dial to 

NORMAL

. This is the 

recommended setting when operating at normal 

room temperature (between 16°C and 32°C). 

3.  The unit may not operate at the correct 

temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a 

particularly cold room, or if you open the door 

often.

4.  To ensure that the unit is cool enough to 

sufficiently chill your food wait 24 hours before 

filling it with food. 

5.  If you are concerned that your unit is not 

being kept cold enough and wish to check the 

temperature you will need a special fridge/freezer 

thermometer.  These are available from most 

supermarkets and hardware shops.
Place the thermometer in the centre of the unit, 

where it can be read easily. Leave overnight, the 

temperature in the unit should be between -18°C 

or lower.

Adjusting the Temperature

The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. 

SUPER

 position is the coldest 

setting and it is used for fast freezing. The recommended position is between 

MIN

 and 

MAX

, but 

it should be adjusted according to the environment.

Fast Freezing

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. Setting 

SUPER

 makes your unit operate 

at its coldest temperatures (approximately -28°C ) continuously. It helps to quickly freeze and 

retain more of the goodness of your food. Freezing will be completed after 24 hours. After 

freezing your food turn the thermostat control dial back to 

NORMAL

 (-18°C). Never freeze large 

quantities of fresh food at one time.

Noises Inside the Unit!

You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, 

but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has 

become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will 

not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the 

refrigerant around the system.
