Temperature setting
The temperature control is located at the front of the freezer cabinet and is accessible
when you open the door (Fig.3). It has three settings: MIN (the warmest setting),
NORMAL and MAX (the coldest setting). Use a coin or a large flat-bladed screwdriver
to adjust it.
• The first time you turn the unit on, set the
temperature control to the MAX position. Then,
after a minimum of 2 hours, adjust the temperature
control to the setting that suits your needs,
NORMAL should be appropriate for normal use.
• To turn the freezer off, turn the temperature control to MIN, which will stop cooling.
Then unplug the unit from the power supply.
NOTE:
The unit may not work at the set temperature on particularly hot days, or if the
door is opened too frequently.
To ensure efficient operation, do not open
the door unnecessarily or for prolonged periods of time.

The freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing domestic quantities of fresh food
and long-term storage (up to three months) of frozen food. It is designed to operate
in ambient (surrounding air) temperatures between 16°C and 43°C. For convenient
access and organised storage, the freezer compartment is equipped with three
transparent, easy to pull out drawers.
Freezing fresh food
• Only freeze fresh food that has been thoroughly cleaned.
• Do not store food uncovered in the freezer. Always use good quality, freezer-proof
packaging to maintain food quality. Remove air from packages of solid food and
seal bags tightly before freezing.
• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled. This will help you keep
track of storage times.
• Keeping portions small will ensure they are frozen (and subsequently defrosted)
rapidly.
• Make sure that fresh, unfrozen food packages do not touch food that is already
frozen, thus avoiding a temperature rise in the frozen food.
• When freezing food, do not push food together too much, leave some space for air
to circulate around each item. Do not place packages directly against the back wall.
• When adding large amounts of fresh food to the freezer, keep in mind that it will
take approximately 24 hours for fresh food to freeze to solid frozen state. For best
results, do not add other fresh food to the freezer drawer during this time.
• Do not place hot foods or liquids which may evaporate in the freezer compartment.
