Section 3. Operating the Appliance
3.1. Switching on the Appliance
-
Allow the appliance to stand for a minimum of 4 hours after installation.
-
Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
-
Set the thermostat control to the required setting as detailed in the
Temperature Control section (3.2.).
-
Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature
to be reached.
3.2. Temperature Control
The temperature selector knob is located just above the door on the front of the
appliance (See ‘Description of the Appliance’ on page 2). Set the thermostat as
follows:
-
Setting “Min”: Warmest Temperature
-
Setting “Mid”: Normal Operation (adequate for most situations)
-
Setting “Max”: Coldest Temperature
Important!
During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary
to set the thermostat to the coldest setting (Max). This may cause the compressor
to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet.
3.3. Storing & Freezing Food in the Freezer
This appliance is a four star freezer and is suitable for the long-term storage of
frozen food items. It can also be used for freezing and storing fresh food items.
You should always follow the storage guidelines printed on each food producers
packaging, however the following information is provided as a general guide for
the maximum storage life of frozen items:
-
Fresh Meat and Poultry – up to 12 months
-
Cooker Meats – up to 2 months
-
Fresh Fish – up to 6 months

When adding large quantities of fresh food to your freezer you are advised to turn the
temperature to the ‘Max’ setting for a

. This will help to fast freeze
the food. Remember to turn the temperature back to the ‘Mid’ setting after the 4 hour
period!
