Electric Control Panel

Freezer Installation

The main functions of the electronic
control panel are:

1) The control panel is numbered
1,2,3,4,5,6,7. This refers to the
temperature on the inside of
the freezer. The temperature is
lowered by turning the dial in
clockwise direction.

Refrigerate:

approximately -2 C~ -26 C.

When you change the dial from
refrigerate function to freeze function,
the food in the freezer should be taken
out to avoid freeze.

2) Install the freezer on a base
strong enough to support it when
fully loaded. Ensure the freezer is
on a stable surface to minimize
noise and vibration.

3) When moving the freezer, never
tilt at an angle more that 45 as
this c o u l d d a ma g e t h e
compressor and freezer system. If
the freezer is tilted over 45 , or has
been stored on its side, allow the
freezer to stand upright for at least
24' hours prior to plugging it back
in, this will allow the refrigerant to
settle.

4) Install the freezer in a well­ventilated area away from any
heat source or direct sunlight. Air
must be allowed to circulate freely
around the freezer. Allow at least 3
inches (7.5 cm) of clearance
space for the top, back and sides.

5) Install the freezer in a dry place
to prevent rust from forming on
the compartment body and to
avoid the risk of damaging the
electric insulation.

E l e c t r i c C o n n e c t i o n a n d
Precautions

1) IMPORTANT: For personal safety,
this appliance must be properly
earthed.

2) The rated voltage for this
appliance is 220V to 240V. In the
event that your regional power
supplier connot meet this
requirement, please use a safe
and reliable automatic voltage
regulator with a minimum output of
500W to avoid damaging the
compressor.

Energy Saving Tips

Operating Your Freezer

3) A 13 Amp, 3 Pin Plug and 5 Amp
fuse only must be used for this
freezer to avoid serious damage.
The plug should always be wired
in accordance with the following
codes.

Green and Yellow Earth (E)
Blue Neutral (N)
Brown Live (L)

It is safest to consult a qualified
electrician at all times.

4) In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical
current. This appliance is fitted
with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. This
plug must be plugged in to an
outlet that has been properly
installed and grounded.

5) Consult a qualified electrician or
service centre if the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood or if any doubt exist as
to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.

Energy Saving Tips

* Do not place your freezer nest to a

heating vent, cooker, in direct
sunlight or in the vicinity of any
other heat-producing source.

* Deep the door closed as much as

possible, especially in hot and
humid weather.

* Defrost the freezer every few

months or when the frost becomes
6mm (1/4") thick or more.

* Cover foods securely to reduce

moisture build up inside the
freezer.

Voltage supply

To start your freezer it must be
connected to a 220 volt, 50 Hz A.C.
power supply. Failure to do so may
invalidate the guarantee.

Once the freezer is properly plugged in,
the green power light will illuminate,
indicating that the freezer is in
operation.

Temperature/Cold Control

The temperature control dial has
settings from "1"-"7". Where "1" is the
warmest and "7" is the coldest
temperature setting. Turn the control
knob to higher numbers for colder
temperatures.

During extremely hot weather and
frequent lid opening, it is advisable to
select a higher setting to ensure that
food remains frozen.

Initially, set the temperature control
knob to the "5" setting by turning the
knob in a clock wise direction. After 30
minutes, you should notice an obvious
decrease in the interior temperature of
the freezer.

Let the freezer to run for a further 12
hours before placing your food inside,
allowing some space between items to
allow air to circulate properly. After
using the freezer for 24 hours, adjust
the temperature control to the setting
that is best suited to your need.

Power Cut

If you unplug your freezer or
experience an electrical outage, ideally
wait five minutes before plugging the
appliance back in.

Defrosting

Useful Hints

Defrosting

If the frost on the freezer walls reaches
a thickness of 6mm or greater, the
freezer requires defrosting. It should
not be necessary to defrost the freezer
more than once every few months and
the defrosting process is best carried
out when the stock of food is at low
level.

Defrosting

Before defrosting, turn the thermostat
to the lowest temperature setting for
about four hours. This will enable you
to remove any remaining food from the
freezer at its lowest temperature. Food
removed from the freezer should then
be warpped in several layers of
newspaper and placed in a cold
refrigerator. Remember that any rise in
temperature will shorten the life of the
frozen food considerably. Thawed food
should not be re-frozen.

Once all food has been removed from
the freezer, disconnect the power by
removing the plug from the power
source/socket.

To help remove the frost, use the
plastic defrosting scraper provided. DO
NOT USE SHARP OR METALLIC
INSTRUMENTS TO REMOVE THE
ICE. Defrosting usually takes a few
hours. To defrost faster, keep the door
open and place a bowel of warm water
inside the freezer.

Draining the freezer

Turn the inner plug in the bottom of the
freezer compartment. Place a try or
other water receptacle beneath the
outer drain dial/plug (front lower left of
the freezer).

Pull the drain dial out and rotate it untill
the triangle points downwards. When
done return the triangle to the up
position, push the dial back in and
replace the plug inside the freezer
compartment.

Cleaning and temperature setting

Wipe the interior of the freezer and
drain hole with a cloth or clean as
described in the "Care and Cleaning"
section of this manual. Reinsert drain
plug and plug the power cord back into
the power source/socket.

Turn the temperature control to the
desired setting. You may wish to use
the Fast/Quick Freeze feature for a few
hours and then adjust the temperature
control to the desired settings.

Useful Hints

* If your freezer is to be out of service

for any length of time, ensure that
interior is carefully cleaned and
dried as per the "Care and
Cleaning" instructions given in the
manual. Leave the lid open and
disconnect the plug from the power
supply.

* Hot foods should be allowed to

cool before being placed inside
the freezer.

* Don't try to freeze too much fresh

produce at any one time.

* Carry out regular cleaning of the

exterior as per the "Care and
Cleaning" instructions given in the
manual. This is important if the
freezer is subjected to high humidity
and heavy condensation.

* Bulb replacement - Always turn off

the power supply and remove plug
before removing light cover.

Troubleshooting

The table below provides some
guidance to solving an apparent minor
operating problems that might occur
occasionally.
It is important to recognize that the
following three situations are a part of
the normal operation and use of the
freezer.

1) There is a sound of liquid flowing in

the system when the freezer is
switched on.
THIS IS NORMAL AND IS THE
SOUND OF THE REFRIGERANT
FLOWING THROUGH THE SYSTEM.

2) The exterior of the freezer is warm

and the compressor is extremely hot
and burns on touching. THIS IS
NORMAL

3) There is condensation on the

surface.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY COMMON IN
CLIMATES WITH HIGH HUMIDITY
AND IS NOT A DEFECT.
CLEAN THE CONDENSATION WITH
A DRY CLOTH.
