OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING

THE FREEZER

The freezer is ready to operate as received, when connected to the power supply. After connecting to power supply, close lid and allow freezer to operate. The unit will run from 1 to 2 hours (possibly longer, depending on conditions) before operating temperature is reached. It will then start and stop (cycle) at fairly regular intervals. It is recommended that food not be placed in the freezer until you are satisfied that it is operating (cycling) regularly and no final adjustments are necessary.

Once your freezer is starting and stopping (cycling) regularly, it is ready to freeze and store foods. The proper food storage temperature is -18°C (0°F). Do not

operate freezer at temperatures below -19°C (-3°F), as this does not improve food preservation and only results in longer unit (cycle) running time. It is not advisable to freeze more than 25 kg.(50 lbs.) of food in any 24 hour period. It will take 15 or more hours of unit running time to freeze this amount of food.

When adding fresh, unfrozen food packages, store them against the walls. The sensing bulb of the thermostat is fastened to the liner wall on the “insulation side” of the freezer. In view of the value of the contents of your freezer, it is advisable to inspect contents and check freezer operation regularly.
