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. The green pilot
light will illuminate to show that the appliance is
switched on.
The red alarm light will also illuminate until the freezer
reaches the correct temperature.
Alarm Light
The red alarm light will illuminate when the
temperature in the freezer is higher than the
thermostat setting. This alarm light will illuminate if:
The appliance has just been started.
Fresh food has been put in the freezer.
The lid has been left open, opened frequently or
open for too long.
The red light will go out when the freezer has returned
to the correct temperature.
Temperature Control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the
thermostat situated on the lower front of the cabinet.
To operate the freezer, proceed as follows:-
When you first start the freezer we suggest that you
turn the thermostat to a medium setting ie 3-4. The
correct setting can be found by measuring the
temperature of the top middle package in the freezer.
This should not have a temperature warmer than
-18°C.
1 = Lowest setting, minimum cold
7 = Highest setting, maximum cold
Allow the freezer to run for several hours before
placing food inside.
Do not fill the freezer to more than 5mm below the top
edge.
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. Never use
excessive force on the handle.
