Operating Instructions

STARTING THE
FREEZER

The freezer is ready to operate as received, when connected to the power
supply. After connecting to power supply, close lid and allow freezer to oper-
ate. The unit will run from 1 to 2 hours (possibly longer, depending on condi-
tions) before operating temperature is reached. It will then start and stop
(cycle) at fairly regular intervals. It is recommended that food not be placed in
the freezer until you are satisfied that it is operating (cycling) regularly and no
final adjustments are necessary. 

Once your freezer is starting and stopping (cycling) regularly, it is ready to
freeze and store foods. The proper food storage temperature is -18°C (0°F).
Do not operate freezer at temperatures below -19°C (-3°F), as this does not
improve food preservation and only results in longer unit (cycle) running time.
It is not advisable to freeze more than 25 kg.(50 lbs.) of food in any 24 hour
period. It will take 15 or more hours of unit running time to freeze this amount
of food.

When adding fresh, unfrozen food packages, store them against the walls.
The sensing bulb of the thermostat is fastened to the liner wall on the “insula-
tion side” of the freezer. In view of the value of the contents of your freezer, it
is advisable to inspect contents and check freezer operation regularly.
