-
Setting “7”: 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 (position 7). This may cause the
compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the
cabinet.
N.B. If you site this appliance in a garage, out-building or a cold room where the
ambient temperature may fall below 6 to 8 degrees C, condensation may form on
the outer cabinet and ‘pool’ under the appliance. This is quite
normal and does not
indicate that there is a fault with the appliance.
To prevent condensation building up on the outer cabinet ensure that
the ambient temperature is above 8 degrees C.
3.3. Storing & Freezing Food in the Freezer
This appliance has a four star freezer that is suitable for the long-term storage of
