Operation

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. The green pilot light will illuminate to show that the appliance is switched on.

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 ie 3-4. 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.

1 = Lowest setting, minimum cold

7 = 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, increasing 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.
