Before Use
Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda
(5ml 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 by using a coin that fits the
groove. 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, which could increase 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 equalised and
then open gently. Never use excessive force on the handle.
