o
Position <SF> will cause the compressor to run continuously
with maximum performance. The freezer temperature will
decrease and the appliance will switch to the lowest
temperature. This can be used for food that needs to be frozen
quickly. You should place the food to be frozen quickly ideally in
the middle drawer. Once the food is frozen the thermostat dial
should be returned to the normal setting.
o
Ideally the thermostat should be set to a position between <3>
to <4>.
o
IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room,
the temperature of food and the amount of food that
has been placed in the appliance and how often the door
is opened, will all affect the temperature being
maintained by the appliance.
o
On the maximum settings (position <5> and <SF>), your fridge
will work harder to maintain a lower temperature and will
increase the energy usage. There is no need to run your
appliance on these settings for prolonged periods and you should
return the thermostat knob to between <3> to <4>.
o
Compressor light: This glows orange when the compressor is
running. In the <SF> mode the light will be on continuously.
o
Power light: This lights green automatically when the appliance
is connected to the power supply.
o
Alarm light: This lights red when the temperature rises to a
critical point inside of the freezer and the food is in danger of
thawing.
Arranging and storing food in the freezer
o
The freezer should be used for freezing fresh foods and for
storing frozen foods for the period of time indicated on the
packaging and for making ice cubes.
o
For freezing fresh food, wrap and seal fresh food properly. The
packaging should be air tight and should not leak. Special
freezer bags, aluminium foil (heavy grade or double wrap),
polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
o
The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24
hours is 9 kg.
