Before Use

Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash

inside the appliance with lukewarm water and

bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not

use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry

thoroughly.

Starting the Appliance

Insert the plug into the wall socket. The green pilot

light will illuminate to show that the appliance is

switched on.

Temperature Control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the

thermostat situated on the lower front of the cabinet.

To operate the freezer, proceed as follows:-
When you first start the freezer we suggest that you

turn the thermostat to a medium setting ie 3-4. The

correct setting can be found by measuring the

temperature of the top middle package in the freezer.

This should not have a temperature higher than -18°C.
1 = Lowest setting, minimum cold 

7 = Highest setting, maximum cold
Allow the freezer to run for several hours before

placing food inside.
Do not fill the freezer to more than 5mm below the top

edge.

Opening/Closing the Lid

The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to

prevent moisture entering the freezer, increasing the

amount of frost formed.
When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer

becomes slightly warmer and expands. When the lid is

closed again the air is cooled immediately. This may

lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard

to open the lid again immediately. This is quite normal.
Wait for a few minutes until the vacuum has equalised

and then open gently. Never use excessive force on

the handle.
