OPERATING YOUR FREEZER

Plug replacement(UK&lreland only) Should you need to replace the plug,the wires in the power cable are colour in the following way:

Blue - Neutral ’N’

Brown - Live ‘L’ Green&Yellow - Earth ‘E’

As the colours of the wires in the power cable may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,and proceed as follows:

The green&yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug that is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol.

The blue wire must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L. If power supply cord is damaged,it must replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Temperature Control

The range of the temperature control is from position" Min" the warmest to "Max" the coldest.Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of medium position should be appropriate for home or office freezer use.

When turn to “ ”, the freezer getting fast freeze” and the compressor will not

stop until you turn the knob to the other position.

NOTE:

Turning the temperature control to "OFF" position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the freezer.

If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before Restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will not start.

Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.

If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between adjustments.

Defrosting Your Freezer

When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or 5 to 10 mm thick.

Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.

.Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by rotating it.

.Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet.

The defrost water will drain out

CAUTION

Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty. We recommend using the plastic scraper .

Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.

Turn the thermostat knob to “OFF”. Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light should be off (green light out).

During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.

Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by rotating it.

Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.

HELPFUL HINT:

Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the process. Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed melting. If you must use a scraper- please use caution - it is very easy to damage the freezer compartment and void your warranty.

The Freezer Compartment

This compartment is designed for the long- term storage of frozen food.

The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded. The instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed when defrosting the freezer.

Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods manufacturer's instructions for a four star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.

Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times. The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches 5 to 10 mm thick.

A storage basket is provided for the organization of odd-shaped items. To reach other packages in the freezer, just slide the basket to one side, or lift it out.
