HARD TOP CHEST FREEZER
Control Panel
Before actually operating your Chest Freezer, it is important that you
understand the control panel of the product.
• The green lamp lights up whenever the freezer is connected to live
electricity supply.
• The red lamp lights up whenever the compressor is “ON” (cooling
function is on).
• The thermostat knob can be used to set the desired temperature.
It can be adjusted between Max. (–23°C ± 1.5°C) and Min. (-13°C ±
1.5°C) Positions. The knob is best operated by means of a coin.
Operation
Plug in the freezer. Position the thermostat knob in the control panel at the
mid position, after which the green lamp in the control panel will glow, to
indicate that the freezer is cooling. Let the freezer operate for at least 3
hours before you place items in the freezer.
Temperature Control
The thermostat maintains a constant temperature at the selected position.
A normal storage temperature of –18°C is obtained by positioning the
thermostat knob at the mid position.
The temperature range of thermostat is –13°C to –23°C ± 1.5°C
The ambient temperature at the location of the freezer and the frequency
and duration of lid opening, will have an impact on the temperature in the
freezer. The temperature control knob should be adjusted so that, at least
-18°C is maintained in the freezer. If the chest freezer is to be unused for
some time, it is recommended to pull out the plug and leave the lid ajar, after
having washed and cleaned the chest freezer.
