Temperature control
and adjustment
Temperature is controlled by the thermostat
knob (Fig. 2). "Number 4" is the coldest
setting.
The normal storage temperature of your
appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower
temperatures may be obtained by adjusting
the thermostat knob towards Position 4.
We recommend checking the temperature with
a thermometer to ensure that the storage
compartments are kept to the desired
temperature. Remember to take the reading
immediately since the thermometer temperature
will rise very rapidly after you remove it from
the freezer.
Please remember that each time the door is
opened cold air escapes and the internal
temperature rises. Therefore never leave the
door open and ensure it is closed immediately
after food is put in or removed.
Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the freezer check that:
1.
The interior is dry and air can circulate freely
at the rear.
2.
The interior is clean as recommended under
"CLEANING AND CARE."
3.
The plug is inserted into the wall socket and
the electricity supply is switched on. Avoid
accidental disconnection by taping over the
switch. Green and red lights will glow and the
compressor will start running.
And note that:
4.
You will hear a noise as the compressor
starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within
the refrigeration system may also make some
noise, whether the compressor is running or
not. This is quite normal.
5.
If you are going to store ready-frozen food,
open the freezer door and check that the fast-
freeze switch is off (the amber light will not
come on). The red light will go out when the
freezer has reached the correct temperature.
Then you can put in your ready-frozen food.
(See Storing Frozen Food section).
6.
If you are going to freeze fresh food, you
must press the fast-freeze switch.
The amber light will come on and you must
wait at least three hours before putting in your
fresh food to be frozen. (See Freezing Fresh
Food section).
7.
We recommend setting the thermostat knob
at 3 and monitoring the temperature to ensure
the appliance maintains desired storage
temperatures (see section "Temperature control
and adjustment").
8.
Do not load the appliance immediately it is
switched on. Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached. We recommend
that you check the temperature with an accurate
thermometer (see; Temperature Control and
Adjustment).
Important Note:
If there is a power failure do not open the door.
Frozen food should not be affected if the failure
lasts for less than 16 hours. If the failure is
longer, then the food should be checked and
either eaten immediately or cooked and then
re-frozen.
