IMPORTANT:
When you press the fast freeze switch, there may be a short delay before the compressor starts to operate. This
is normal and does not indicate a compressor fault.
Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat knob (see diagram) located on the inner side wall of the freezer compartment. Settings may be made from 1, 2 ... fast freeze, fast freeze being the coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the thermostat knob should be adjusted so that after 24 hours, the average freezer temperature is no higher than
We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed.
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 core as quickly as possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 10 kg (22 lb)
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.
If you are going to freeze fresh food in excess of 2kg. (4.5 lb) turn the thermostat knob to the fast freeze position and wait for about 24 hours before placing the fresh food in the freezer.
Remember to turn the thermostat knob back to its previous position once food has frozen.
It is recommended to place fresh food to be frozen in fast freeze compartment of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
