Temperature Control
The temperature control is located at the front bottom right hand corner of the
appliance.
The dial can be set between ‘1’ and ‘6’. A higher setting creates a colder
temperature inside the freezer compartment. Adjust the temperature control
to the setting that best suits your needs. A setting of 3 – 4 should be
appropriate for most household applications.
To turn the freezer off, turn the dial to the ‘OFF’ position.
Note: When the dial is in the ‘OFF’ position the cooling system will not
operate, but there is still power to the appliance.
The chest freezer has three indicator lamps:
1. Power (Green) – This will be on when there is power supplied to the
appliance.
2. Run (Red) – This will come on when the compressor is operating.
3. Alarm (Amber) – This will come on when the freezer compartment is
not cold enough to freeze food.
Note: If the appliance is unplugged, power lost or turned off; you must wait
3 - 5 minutes before repowering the appliance. Otherwise the compressor will
not start and the freezer will not work.
Storing Food
•
Ensure that pre-frozen food is still frozen when it is stored in the freezer.
•
Cooked food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before placing
in the freezer.
•
Food should be stored in freezer bags or freezer proof containers.
•
Distribute fresh food evenly in the compartment so that air can circulate.
•
Do not re-freeze food that has thawed out, unless you cook it again to kill
off harmful bacteria.
•
Reseal packs properly after removing items. This will help prevent the
items from drying out and frost building up on any remaining food.
•
Odd shaped items can be stored in the basket. To reach other items in the
freezer just slide the basket to one side or lift it out.
