OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STARTING
THE FREEZER
The freezer is ready to operate as received, when
connected to the power supply. After connecting to
power supply, close lid and allow freezer to operate.
The unit will run from 1 to 2 hours (possibly longer,
depending on conditions) before operating temperature
is reached. It will then start and stop (cycle) at fairly
regular intervals. It is recommended that food not be
placed in the freezer until you are satisfied that it is
operating (cycling) regularly and no final adjustments
are necessary.
Once your freezer is starting and stopping (cycling)
regularly, it is ready to freeze and store foods. The
proper food storage temperature is -18°C (0°F). Do not
operate freezer at temperatures below -19°C (-3°F), as
this does not improve food preservation and only
results in longer unit (cycle) running time. It is not
advisable to freeze more than 25 kg.(50 lbs.) of food in
any 24 hour period. It will take 15 or more hours of
unit running time to freeze this amount of food.
When adding fresh, unfrozen food packages, store them
against the walls. The sensing bulb of the thermostat is
fastened to the liner wall on the “insulation side” of the
freezer. In view of the value of the contents of your
freezer, it is advisable to inspect contents and check
freezer operation regularly.
SETTING
TEMPERATURE
CONTROL
The temperature of the freezer compartment is controlled by adjusting/setting the
thermostat control knob, located on the front of the freezer cabinet. To start the freezer
and achieve maximum cooling quickly;
• Turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the furthest (maximum) setting on the darker blue (wide)
section of the graduated control dial.
Fig. 14
Fig. 15
• Allow the freezer to run at this setting for 3-4 hours.
• When maximum cooling is achieved, turn back the
temperature control knob setting to the 2 o’clock position
on the graduated blue control dial. See Fig.14.
• To turn off the freezer (no cooling), rotate the control
knob to the “0”(off) position. See Fig.15.
