Operation

Before Use

Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5m1 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.

Switching on freezer box

Close top of freezer box installed in accordance with specifications down then connect equipment with mains as specified above. At this time electric components inside will be energised.

Adjust knob of temperature regulator in centre with rotating clockwise. After a weak clicking cooling compressor will start together with slight vibration and noise.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is maintained in the freezer. Turning the thermostat button

towards “ ” makes the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the button towards “ ” makes the temperature warmer. The correct setting can be found by measuring the temperature of the top package in the middle of the freezer. This should not have a temperature higher than –18°C.

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 subsided and then open gently. Never use excessive force on the handle.

Top has closed and opened position. Movement over open position of top (about 95°) can cause damage.

Important

Care should be taken when opening the lid of the freezer.

A minimum clearance of 12 cm is required behind the chest freezer to allow adequate clearance for the lid to open to its full extent.

The lid is not counter balanced and should be in the fully open position (passed the 90 degree upright position) or supported by the user when gaining access to the freezer, otherwise there is a risk of the lid falling closed again presenting a risk to the user.

Do not force the lid past its fully open position otherwise damage could occur to the lid or hinge arrangement.

Freezing Fresh Food

It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible.

If more than 3-4kg of food is to be frozen:

Turn the thermostat control knob to the coldest

setting “ ” The freezer will now run continuously, creating a sufficient reserve of the temperature required.

Turn the thermostat control knob 6-24 hours before placing new food in the freezer, depending on how much food is to be frozen.

Place the food in the freezer and leave the

thermostat set at “ ” for about 24 hours more.

Then turn the thermostat control knob back again. The freezer will return to normal storage temperature.

If the thermostat control knob is accidentally left at the coldest setting the freezer will not be damaged, but energy will be wasted.

Frozen Food Storage

When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 2 hours before storing frozen food.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.

Do not open the lid frequently or leave it open longer than is necessary.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.

Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer can cause a low temperature skin burn.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. Do not open the lid Should the food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly
