STARTING
Final Check
Before you start using the freezer check that:
1.
The feet have been adjusted and the product is level.
2.
The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
3.
Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."
4.
Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. Avoid
accidental disconnection by taping over the switch.
5.
You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed
within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the
compressor is running or not which is quite normal.
6.
Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the
manufacturing process used, so do not worry, it is not a defect.
7.
Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are
designed to be warm to avoid condensation.
8.
We recommend that you set the thermostat knob at 3 and monitor the
temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures
(see section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
9.
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 Notes :
1.
If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than 16.5 hours. If the failure is longer, then
the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then
re-frozen.
2.
If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don't
worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalise and allow the
door to open normally after a few minutes.
3.
Always wrap food using a suitable packaging material before storing in your
appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface and food remains for
hygiene reasons.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a
frozen food storage
compartment.
The freezing area is marked with
symbol on the door liner.
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the
food retailer is maintained the following should be remembered:
1.
Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2.
Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.
3.
Please note that drawers, baskets, flaps, trays are all removable.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Temperature is controlled by the thermostat which is located on the rear wall of the
cabinet (see the diagram on page 5). Thermostat knob is located on the thermostat
housing. "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 'number 4 ' position.
We recommend that you check the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that
the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember you
must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise
very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember 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.
