Before Use
Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda
(5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as
the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
Starting the Appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. When the appliance is
connected to the power supply the green indicator light will
illuminate.
Temperature Control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the
thermostat situated on the lower front of the cabinet. To
operate the freezer, proceed as follows:
When you first start the freezer we suggest that you turn the
thermostat to a medium setting by using a coin that fits the
groove. The correct setting can be found by measuring the
temperature of the top middle package in the freezer. This
should not have a temperature higher than -18°C.
Min = Lowest setting, minimum cold
Max = Highest setting, maximum cold
Allow the freezer to run for several hours before placing
food inside.
Do not fill the freezer to more than 5mm below the top
edge.
Opening/Closing the Lid
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to prevent
moisture entering the freezer, which could increase the
amount of frost formed.
When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer becomes
slightly warmer and expands. When the lid is closed again
the air is cooled immediately. This may lead to the creation
of a vacuum which makes it hard to open the lid again
immediately. This is quite normal.
Wait for a few minutes until the vacuum has equalised and
then open gently. Never use excessive force on the handle.
