Using your freezer
Operating temperatures are
controlled by the thermostat (see
diagram) located on the inner side
wall of the freezer compartment.
Settings may be made from 1, 2 ... fast
freeze, fast freeze being the coldest
position.
When the appliance is switched
on for the first time, the thermostat
should be adjusted so that after
24 hours, the average freezer
temperature is no higher than -18°C
(0°F). We recommend you set the
half way between the 1 and 4 setting.
Lower temperatures may be obtained
by adjusting the setting towards fast
freeze position.
We recommend that you check
the temperature with an accurate
thermometer to ensure that the
storage compartments are kept to the
desired temperature.
Remember you must take your
reading very quickly since the
thermometer temperature will rise
very rapidly after you remove it from
the freezer.
Please remember each time the door
is opened cold air escapes and the
internal temperature rises. Therefore
never leave the door open and ensure
it is closed immediately after food is
put in or removed.
Freezing Fresh Food
Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at
any one time. The quality of the food
is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as
possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity
of your appliance in 24 h which is 10
kg (22 lb)
Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the refrigeration
compressor to operate continuously
until the food is frozen solid.
If you are going to freeze fresh food
in excess of 2kg. (4.5 lb) turn the
thermostat to the fast freeze position
a few hours before placing the fresh
food in the freezer.
Remember to turn the
thermostat
back
to its previous
position once food has frozen.
It is recommended to place fresh
food to be frozen in fast freeze
compartment of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
