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 has
reached the correct storage temperature for frozen food, the
amber indicator light will illuminate.
Amber Indicator Light
The amber light remains illuminated to indicate that the internal
temperature of the appliance is correct for safe storage of
frozen food. If the temperature is too high in the appliance the
light will go out. The light may go out the following reasons:
There is a power failure
The lid has been recently opened
A large quantity of food has been added to the appliance
There is a fault
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 temperature can be measured by placing a
thermometer in the middle compartment. The reading must
be taken quickly as the thermometer temperature will rise
rapidly after removal. This should not have a temperature
higher than -18°C.
Min = Lowest setting, minimum cold
Fast Freeze = 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, decreasing 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 subsided and then
open gently. Never use excessive force on the handle.
Lock
The lock works as shown.
