In determining the correct temperature
control setting, all these factors have to
be considered and some experimenta-
tion may be necessary. Do not allow
children to tamper with the controls or
play with the product.
The freezer compartment
The symbol means that your
freezer will store frozen food at -18°C
(-0.4 ° F) or colder allowing for long
term frozen food storage and freezing of
fresh food. The freezer temperature is
controlled automatically by the thermo-
stat situated
in the control panel. Due to the differ-
ent installations, methods of usage and
weather conditions, adjustments to the
temperature settings may be required.
These are best assessed against a
temperature reading on a thermometer
buried in the frozen food. The reading
must be taken quickly as the thermom-
eter temperature will rise rapidly after
removal.
Freezing fresh food
Place the fresh food on the top freezer
shelf. Food may need rearranging to
achieve this. During the freezing process
the temperature of fresh food should
be reduced quickly so that ice crystals
are kept as small as possible to prevent
damaging the structure of food. If freez-
ing takes place slowly large ice crystals
form and these will affect the quality of
food once it has defrosted.
Frozen food storage
The appliance has the following net
storage volume: 68 litres. This is a
standard measurement and the actual
capacity depends upon the density
and sizes of the food. Pre-packed
commercially frozen food should
be stored in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions for a 4 star
frozen food compartment and should
be put in the freezer as soon as possible
after purchase. Your freezer provides
for long term storage which generally
means up to 3 months but the length
Using the appliance
This appliance is designed for domestic
use only, specifically for the storage
of edible foodstuff. This appliance is
designed to operate in ambient tem-
peratures (surrounding air tempera-
ture) between 16°C and 38°C. If these
temperatures are exceeded i.e., colder
or warmer, the appliance will not operate
correctly. Should the ambient tempera-
tures be exceeded for long periods, the
temperature in the freezer compartment
will rise above -18°C and food spoilage
may occur.
Before use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash the
inside of the appliance with lukewarm
water with a little bicarbonate of soda
added (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not
use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
To Start the appliance
1.
Allow the appliance to stand for 2
hours after installation.
2. Plug in the appliance and switch on
at the mains supply.
3.
Turn the thermostat control to the
required setting. A midway setting is
usually suitable for normal operation
(see thermostat control).
4.
Leave the appliance for approximate-
ly 4 hours for the correct temperature
to be reached before placing food
inside.
Thermostat control
The thermostat control situated in the
control panel regulates the temperature
of the freezer compartment.
• Position “Min” -Cold.
• Position “Normal” -Colder.normally,
setting at this position.
• Position “Max” -Coldest.
The temperature will be affected by:
• Room temperature
• How often the door is opened
• How much food is stored
• Position of the appliance
