Operation
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
.
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.
