RUN YOUR ELAN FOR 24 HOURS
Your Elan is tested and inspected before
leaving Lec. Unfortunately damage occasionally
occurs during transportation. Switch on for 24
hours to check it is functioning properly before
using it to store food.
YOU CAN CHECK THE TEMPERATURE
A few days after you start using your Elan
you may wish to check it is running at the
correct temperature. You’ll need a special
Fridge Freezer thermometer. These are
available from most supermarkets and
hardware shops.
Don’t empty your Elan. Check the
thermostat is between 3 and 5. Put the
thermometer in the coldest part of your
Fridge or Larder (just above the Salad Bin)
or in one of the Freezer drawers. You
should be able to read it quickly, without
moving it when you open the door. Close
the door and leave it overnight.

The next morning, read the temperature
without removing the thermometer.

These models can be cooled more quickly
using the Fast Freeze feature. This facility
uses slightly more electricity. See page 6.
FREEZERS
It should be between 0°C and 5°C in the
Fridge (and less than -18°C in all the
and models, -
12°C in the icebox in the
450, 550 & 750 and -6°C in the
250) when the thermostat is
set between 3 and 5 and should hold these
temperatures. If it isn’t, adjust the
thermostat dial half a number (e.g. from
three and a half to four). See Adjusting the
thermostat on page 6. Don’t forget, the
thermostat numbers are NOT temperature
degrees. The higher the thermostat number,
the colder the Fridge or Freezer will be.
