Electrical Installation
This Chest Freezer must be earthed and the manufacturer and the seller do not accept responsibility for any damage due to incorrect electrical connection.
•This Chest Freezer is designed for use on
•This makes it suitable for operation in all areas in South Africa.
•A moulded plug is fitted by the manufacturer, if the plug or power supply cord is damaged they must be replaced by the manufacturer, their service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a fire hazard. Should the mains lead of the freezer become damaged or should it need replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from a DEFY Authorised Service Agent.
•No other appliance should be connected to the same terminal point.
•Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown on the rating label on the freezer corresponds to your electricity supply. The rating label is located on the rear outer side of the freezer.
•We recommend that the Chest Freezer be connected to the mains supply via a suitably switched and fused socket. The Chest Freezer must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
Operation
Before operating, clean the inside of the freezer. (see “ Maintenance and Cleaning").
After the freezer has been cleaned, insert the plug of the Chest Freezer into the wall socket. Adjust the thermostat knob to an average position.
Leave the freezer to work for about 6 hours without putting food inside it. Freezing of fresh food will be acheived after a minimum of 20 hours of operation (when there is uninterrupted power to the unit).
Note:
If you find that the lid of the chest freezer is difficult to open just after you have closed it, this is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow for the lid to be opened normally after a few minutes.
