The thermostat must only be adjusted by a skilled person because of the location in the
compressor compartment. Some models can have the thermostat located in the louvered
plate or with the thermostat spindle behind the hole in the louvered plate, so you can
adjust it from outside by means of a screw driver.
*
Thermostat controlling the temperature is in the conservator. To decrease the
temperature, turn the thermostat button clockwise. We advise you to fix the thermostat
knob in the middle, if the ambient temperature is +25 to +30C. As a standard the
thermostat is adjusted at pos. 4.5 which will give an average temperature of -18C at load
limit. The cabinet can be equipped with a thermometer which shows the temperature on
the inner liner. The temperature can be a little lower than the air temperature or the
temperature in the ice cream. We recommend before adjusting the thermostat to check
the air or product temperature in the conservator by a thermometer.
The freezer should be defrosted at least every two months. Defrosting is necessary when
ice thickness reaches about 3mm. In connection with the defrost it is recommended to
clean the internal surfaces of the ice cream conservator.
*
As time goes on frost will build up in certain areas, i.e. on the sides just below the
glass lids and especially on the sides where the two sliding glass lids cover each other.
This frost should be scraped away periodically using a wooden or plastic scraper or a stiff
bristle brush. Never use metal or sharp instruments as the interior surfaces of the ice
cream conservator may be damaged.
*
Unplug the conservator
*
Take Ice cream out and store it in another freezer.
*
Leave the lid open.
*
Use the plastic ice scraper to take away the ice from the inner liner.
Never use sharp tools or knives. This process may be fastened by careful use of a hair
dryer or by means of a tub of hot water placed at the bottom of the conservator.
*
Take the plug away from the drain at the bottom and open the drain plug at the
rear side of the conservator and place a tray under the drain hole to take care of the
defrost water.
*
Clean the lid and the cabinet with a special solution (a teaspoonful sodium
bicarbonate added into ½ litre warm water) Then dry it up properly.
*
After cleaning and drying up the conservator plug it in and put the ice cream back
into the conservator.
In case of operation disturbances, please check the following:
*
Is the conservator connected to the mains supply?
If yes control the fuse for the mains supply (No fuse built in the electrical circuit for the
conservator)
Cabinet with an English plug has a 13A fuse in the plug.
*
Too high temperature? Has the conservator recently been filled with ice cream?
Or is the lid not closed?
*
Too high temperature. Is the thermostat set correctly? If not turn the thermostat
knob clockwise.
