Freezing Fresh Food, Warning alarm, 8 -9 | Rangemaster U110121

IMPORTANT: DO NOT run the appliance with the thermostat on higher settings in normal use otherwise the defrost drain hole will freeze.

Freezing Fresh Food

To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food specified, turn the thermostat dial to its maximum position (Fig.2-8)a few hours before intending freezing.

For smaller quantities of fresh food, turn the thermostat dial to its maximum position for an hour before intending freezing.

Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or packaging. This will help to make sure that the food does not dry out or lose its flavour. It will also make sure that flavour does not transfer from other foods.

DO NOT allow fresh food to touch items that are already frozen.

After 24 hours, check that the fresh food is satisfactorily frozen. If so, turn the thermostat dial back to its normal operating position.

Warning alarm

Your appliance is equipped with sensors in the fridge and freezer sections which assess the temperature.

If the recorded temperature in either section goes above the temperature set on the thermostat dial, the Warning Alarm neon will light (Fig.2-9).

There will also be an audible warning signal to make you aware that the sensors have sensed a temperature rise.

The warning alarm neon will stay switched on until the recorded temperature has fallen to the level set on the thermostat dial.

To silence the audible alarm, press the Warning Alarm off button (Fig.2-10).

Note: The warning alarm neon will switch on if either of the doors have been open for a period of time or if the thermostat dial has been turned clockwise to a colder setting.

If the Warning Alarm neon stays lit for a prolonged period, then please contact Consumer Services.

During First use

Set the thermostat dial to its maximum setting for 24 hours after switching on the appliance for the first time.

When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the fridge freezer reaches a cool enough temperature.

During this time, try not to open the door frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance.

You should then adjust the thermostat dial down to its normal operating position.

If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or connecting it to your mains supply.
