mains as specified above. At this time electric
components inside will be energised.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is
maintained in the freezer. Turning the thermostat button
towards
“
”
makes the temperature in the freezer
colder, and turning the button towards
“
”
makes the
temperature warmer. The correct setting can be found
by measuring the temperature of the top package in the
middle of the freezer. This should not have a
temperature higher than –18°C.

The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to
prevent moisture entering the freezer, increasing the
amount of frost formed.
When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer
becomes slightly warmer and expands. When the lid is
closed again the air is cooled immediately. This may
lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard
to open the lid again immediately. This is quite normal.
Wait for a few minutes until the vacuum has subsided
and then open gently. Never use excessive force on
the handle.
Top has closed and opened position. Movement over
open position of top (about 95°) can cause damage.

Care should be taken when opening the lid of the
freezer.
A minimum clearance of 12 cm is required behind
the chest freezer to allow adequate clearance for
the lid to open to its full extent.
The lid is not counter balanced and should be in the
fully open position (passed the 90 degree upright
position) or supported by the user when gaining
access to the freezer, otherwise there is a risk of
the lid falling closed again presenting a risk to the
user.
Do not force the lid past its fully open position
otherwise damage could occur to the lid or hinge
arrangement.

It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer
is frozen quickly and that the food already in the
freezer is heated as little as possible.
If more than 3-4kg of food is to be frozen:
Turn the thermostat control knob to the coldest
setting
“
”
The freezer will now run
continuously, creating a sufficient reserve of the
temperature required.
Turn the thermostat control knob 6-24 hours
before placing new food in the freezer,
depending on how much food is to be frozen.
Place the food in the freezer and leave the
thermostat set at
“
”
for about 24 hours more.
Then turn the thermostat control knob back
again. The freezer will return to normal storage
temperature.
If the thermostat control knob
is
accidentally left at the coldest setting
the freezer will not be damaged, but
energy will be wasted.

Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer can cause a low temperature
skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer
will not be affected if the power cut is short and
the freezer is full. Do not open the lid Should the
food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly
