Section 3. Operating the Appliance 

 

3.1. Switching on the Appliance 

 

-

 

Allow the appliance to stand for a minimum of 4 hours after installation. 

-

 

Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply. 

-

 

Set the thermostat control to the required setting as detailed in the 
Temperature Control section (3.2.). 

-

 

Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature 
to be reached. 

 
 

3.2. Temperature Control 
 

The temperature selector knob is located just behind the door on the front of the 
appliance (See ‘Description of the Appliance’ on page 3).  Set the thermostat as 
follows: 
 

-

 

Setting “Min”: Warmest Temperature 

-

 

Setting “Normal or Mid”: Normal Operation (adequate for most situations) 

-

 

Setting “Max”: Coldest Temperature 

 
Important! 

During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary 
to set the thermostat to the coldest setting (Max).  This may cause the compressor 
to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet. 
 

 
3.3. Storing & Freezing Food in the Freezer 
 

This appliance is a four star freezer and is suitable for the long-term storage of 
frozen food items. It can also be used for freezing and storing fresh food items. 
 
You should always follow the storage guidelines printed on each food producers 
packaging, however the following information is provided as a general guide for 
the maximum storage life of frozen items: 
 

-

 

Fresh Meat and Poultry – up to 12 months 

-

 

Cooker Meats – up to 2 months 

-

 

Fresh Fish – up to 6 months 

-

 

Fruit and Vegetables – up to 12 months 

-

 

Bread and Cakes – up to 6 months

 

 

3.4. Normal Operating Sounds 

 

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped to 
the cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of the appliance.  
When the compressor is in operation you may hear a slight whirring sound or 
pulsating noise.  The thermostat controls the operation of the compressor, and 
you may hear a slight click as it cycles in and out.
