Switching on
Plug the appliance into a nearby power socket and
switch on. The freezer control panel (Figure 4) is
positioned inside the door. It controls all the freezer
functions.
Use a coin to turn the temperature control to a half-
way position on the dial and leave the appliance
running with the door closed for approximately two
hours. This will allow the inside temperature to
stabilise. The temperature warning light will stay
illuminated for some while after first switching on.
This is normal; the light will go out when the freezer
reaches its operating temperature.
Temperature control
The temperature scale runs from 1, the warmest
setting, to 5, the coldest. Use of a freezer
thermometer (not supplied) is recommended to
monitor conditions in the freezer.
Fast freeze function
Use the fast freeze function when freezing bulk
quantities of fresh food. Place the food in the upper
compartments marked
. Switch on the fast
freeze function using the fast freeze button
(Figure 4).
When the button is pressed in (ON), the
temperature control is bypassed and the
compressor runs continuously which cools the
cabinet well below the level set on the temperature
control. There is therefore no need to adjust the
temperature setting when using fast freeze.
When you press the fast freeze button, there may
be a short delay before the compressor starts to
operate. This is normal and not a compressor fault.
When fast freeze is switched ON, the yellow light
will be illuminated.
FIGURE 4
Installation and controls (cont)
To cancel fast freeze, press the button and release
it. The yellow light will go out.
When fast freeze is no longer required switch it off
to minimise power consumption. The temperature
controller will then take over and regulate the
cabinet temperature as normal.
Temperature warning
If the temperature warning light comes on it
indicates that the temperature in the freezer cabinet
is warmer than the normal operating temperature. It
is usually a temporary condition; there could have
been a mains power failure for example. Do not
open the freezer door when the red light is on.
Depending on ambient conditions and time of year,
food will remain fully frozen for up to 20 hours in
this case. If the light remains on for longer than this
period contact the helpline number below.
Notes on operation
During normal operation the following noises may
be heard:
O
Stifled murmur from compressor when it is
working.
O
Soft gurgling from the refrigerant flowing
through the cooling system.
