Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. On first connecting the mains cable to the mains
socket, the power indicator will light up.
2. The internal temperature of your freezer is
controlled by a thermostat. Adjust the thermostat
control dial to the desired position, MAX makes
the appliance colder and is used for fast freezing
(please refer Fast Freezing section). The ideal
position is half way between MIN and MAX but
should be adjusted according to its environment.
The appliance may not operate correctly if it is in a
particularly hot or cold room or if the lid is opened
often or for prolonged periods.
3. The unit may not operate at the correct
temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a
particularly cold room, or if you open the doors
often.
4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to
sufficiently freeze your food, wait 24 hours before
filling it with food.
5. If you are concerned that your unit is not
being kept cold enough and wish to check the
temperature, you will need a special fridge/
freezer thermometer. These are available from
most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place the
thermometer in the freezer and leave overnight.
The correct temperature for the freezer should be -18°C or lower.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. The recommended position
is towards MIN for colder working environments (i.e. during winter) and towards MAX for hotter
environments. Please adjust according to the environment.
Fast Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. Turn the dial to the MAX so your freezer will
operate at the coldest temperature (approximately -28°C) continuously. It helps to quickly freeze
and retain more of the goodness of your food. Freezing will be completed after 24 hours. Then
turn the dial back to its original position. Maximum freezing capacity is 3kg.
