OPERATION
Before using your Chest Freezer
1. Ensure that the appliance has been installed as recommended and that it
is level.
2. Clean the inside of the freezer compartment (see ‘Care and Maintenance’)
3. Ensure that the appliance has been left for a minimum of 2 hours before
switching on the power, to allow the refrigeration system to stabilise.
4. Insert the plug into a socket and switch on the supply.
5. Run the chest freezer for 2 – 3 hours to allow the compartment to get
down to temperature, before placing food in the freezer compartment.
Caution: When the compressor first starts up it may produce some
background noise. This is normal and will reduce as the cooling system
operates.
