USING YOUR FREEZER
Switching on your Freezer
1
Before connecting the Freezer to the mains supply check that the
thermostat control dial located at the front of the Freezer has been
turned to Normal, which is the correct setting for use in a room of
average temperature.
2 Wait 24 hours before placing food in the cabinet to allow for the
Freezer to fall to the correct temperature.
Is the Freezer cold enough?
If you are concerned that your Freezer is not being kept cold enough,
and wish to check the temperature, you will need a special fridge/freezer
thermometer available from most supermarkets and hardware shops.
Place the thermometer in the middle basket of the Freezer, where it can
be read easily. Leave overnight, the temperature in the Freezer should
be -18˚C or lower.
Adjusting the temperature
The internal temperature of your Freezer is controlled by the thermostat
control dial on the front of the Freezer. The SUPER setting lowers the
temperature inside the Freezer compartment to approximately -28˚C and
is used for fast freezing. The NORMAL setting is for everyday operation at
average room temperatures of between 12°C and 32°C.
The Freezer may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a
particularly hot or cold room or if you open the Freezer doors very often.
Noises inside the Freezer!
If you have not owned a fridge or freezer before, you may notice that it
makes some rather unusual noises.
Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
Gurgling, whooshing
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 Freezer.
Humming, purring or pulsating
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around
the system.
