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 settings, of which position 

4

 is the coldest.

2.  Adjust the thermostat control dial to the desired position, bear in mind that the higher the 

number, the lower the temperature. Position 

2

 is the recommended setting when operating 

at normal room temperature (between 16°C and 38°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. 

4

 position is the coldest 

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

2

, but it should be adjusted 

according to the environment.

Fast Freezing

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. Setting 

4

 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 

2

 (-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.
