Indicator lights
There are three coloured indicator lights located
inside the appliance which show the operating
mode of the freezer (Fig. 2).
Green Indicator (1)
Illuminates when the appliance is connected to
the mains and will glow as long as there is
electricity present. The green light will not glow
if the thermostat is set in the 'O' position. The
green indicator does not give any indication
of the temperature inside the freezer.
Amber Indicator (2)
This indicator will glow when the fast-freeze
switch (4)
is on and will continue to glow
until the fast-freeze switch is turned off. The
compressor will run continuously whilst the fast-
freeze switch is on. Fast-freeze operation is for
freezing fresh food (see Freezing Fresh Food,
section).
Red Indicator (3) Illuminates:
a.
When the appliance is first switched on,
and will stay on until the pre-set temperature
has been attained.
b.
If the pre-set temperature can not be
maintained.
c.
If the appliance is overloaded with fresh
food.
d.
If the appliance door is left open accidentally.
Thermostat knob (5)
The thermostat knob is located on the indicator
light frame.
Important:
When you press the fast-freeze switch, there
may be a short delay before the compressor
starts to operate. This is normal and not a
compressor fault.
Storing frozen food
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage
of commercially frozen foods and also can be
used to freeze and store fresh food.
For storing home-frozen fresh food refer to the
storage-life guide on the door-liner.
If there is a power failure, do not open the
door. Frozen food should not be affected if the
failure lasts for less than 16 hrs. If the failure
is longer, then the food should be checked and
either eaten immediately or cooked and then
re-frozen
Freezing fresh food
Please observe the following instructions to
obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one
time. The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right through to the centre as
quickly as possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 h.
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment
causes the refrigeration machine to operate
continously until the food is frozen solid.
Fast freeze
If you are going to freeze fresh food in excess
of 2 kg. (4.5 lb), turn on the fast-freeze switch
and wait about three hours before placing the
fresh food in the fast-freeze compartment
Remember to turn off the fast-freeze switch.
Leave the fast freeze switch on for about 24
hours if the maximum quantity is being frozen.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
