Sandstrom SFF4DS12, Instruction Manual

Memory

•  The unit automatically memorises all the settings in case the power is turned off. When the 

unit is plugged in again, the unit will run with the same settings as before the power was 

turned off.

Self-Checking

•  The unit runs a self-check when it is running. In case of any fault, an alarm will sound 

automatically.

•  To avoid damaging the compressor in the case of a power failure it will not reactivate even if 

the power is reconnected within 5 minutes. 

•  When the temperature shows E0, E1 or E2, this means the unit has a fault. Please call for 

technical assistance.

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.

Shopping for Chilled Foods

•  Take a quick look at the chilled food package and make sure it is in perfect condition.
•  Try to keep chilled food together whilst shopping and on the journey home as this will help 

to keep the food cold.

•  Don’t buy chilled food unless you can chill it straight away. Specially insulated bags can be 

bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These bags can keep chilled food cold 

for longer while transporting.

•  Food that has been left in a car or at room temperature for a prolonged period of time could 

raise the food temperature to a dangerous level, which allows harmful bacteria to grow.

•  Always unpack and place chilled food in the unit before storing dry food.

Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

•  Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid 

bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices 

and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the fridge 

compartment. 

•  Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. Ensure all 

parts of the unit are kept cool.

•  To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and 

vegetables do not need to be wrapped.

•  Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you it put in the unit. This will help to maintain 

the internal temperature of the unit.

•  To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the 

doors. We recommend that you only open the doors when you need to put food in or take 

food out.
