Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. Before connecting the unit to the mains supply
make sure that the thermostat control dial is set at
position
0
. This is located at the rear of the unit.
2. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket.
Adjust the thermostat control dial to the desired
position, bear in mind that the higher the number,
the lower the temperature. Position
4
is the
recommended setting when operating at normal
room temperature (between 16°C and 32°C).
3. The unit may not operate at the correct
temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a
particularly cold room, or if you open the freezer
door often.
4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to
sufficiently chill your food wait 24 hours before
filling it with food.
5. If you are concerned that your unit is not
being kept cold enough and wish to check the
temperature you will need a special fridge/freezer
thermometer. These are available from most
supermarkets and hardware shops.
Place the thermometer in the centre of the unit,
where it can be read easily. Leave overnight, the
temperature in the unit should be between -18°C
or lower.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of your unit is controlled by a thermostat. The recommended position
is between
1
to
4
for colder working environments (i.e. during winter) and between
5
to
6
for
hotter environments. Please adjusted according to the environment..
Fast Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. Setting position
7
makes your unit operate
at its coldest temperatures (approximately -28°C ) continuously. It helps to quickly freeze and
retain more of the goodness of your food. Freezing will be completed after 24 hours. After
freezing your food turn the thermostat control dial back to position 2-3 (-18°C). Never freeze
large quantities of fresh food at one time.
Noises Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,
but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has
become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will
not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.
