Operating the freezer
The empty freezer should be switched on for at least 5-6 hours prior to loading of the freezer.
The freezer should not be loaded above the inside aluminium walls which is also the load line limit.Please
note: After the lid has been opened, there will be a vacuum created inside the freezer due to the low
temperatures. Wait a few minutes before trying to re-open the lid otherwise the handle could be damaged.
Defrosting
In order for the freezer to work to its maximum efficiency the
cabinet should be defrosted when a approx. 2mm thick ice
layer has formed inside the cabinet.
The ice layer is easily removed with a plastic or wooden
scraper. Never use a sharp metal object which might will
cause damage to the inner liner.
The defrosting frequency is determined mainly by
two factors the usage pattern (number of lid openings) and
the relative humidity.
Excess water can be drained out by using the drain water
outlet on the front of the freezer.
Cleaning
Cleaning should be done when needed. When used in a dirty
environment it might be necessary to remove the compressor
compartment and clean the compressor compartment
eventually with a vacuum cleaner.
If the cleaning process is neglected there is a risk that the
performance of the freezer will be affected, and even damage
to the compressor could occur due to overheating.
Storage
If the freezer is stored for a period of time, the lid should be kept open for free circulation of air inside the
cabinet in order to avoid corrosion of the inner liner.
