Thermostat Control
The thermostat control situated in the control panel regulates the temperature of the freezer
compartment.

The temperature will be affected by:

Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting, all these factors have to be considered
and some experimentation may be necessary. Do not allow children to tamper with the
controls or play with the product.
The freezer compartment
The symbol means that your freezer will store frozen food at
-18
ć
(-0.4F) or colder
allowing for long term frozen-food storage and freezing of fresh food. The freezer
temperature is controlled automatically by the thermostat situated in the control panel. Due to
the different installations, methods of usage and weather conditions, adjustments to the
temperature settings may be required.
These are best assessed against a temperature reading on a thermometer buried in the
frozen food. The reading must be taken quickly as the thermometer temperature will rise
rapidly after removal.
Freezing fresh food
Place the fresh food in the top freezer drawer. Food may need rearranging to achieve this.
During the freezing process the temperature of fresh food should be reduced quickly so that
ice crystals are kept as small as possible to avoid damaging the structure of food. If freezing
takes place slowly large ice crystals form and these will affect the quality of food once it has
defrosted.
Turn the switch to “SUPER ”
24 hours
before loading the food. Existing frozen food should be
rearranged to leave space in the top two drawers for freezing. The packets to be frozen
should be placed in the drawer in contact with the drawer surface as far as possible and
spaced apart to allow cold air to circulate between them. They should not touch existing
packets.
If there is enough room, transfer the food you have frozen to the baskets or drawers to allow
you to freeze a further load in the top drawer. No harm will result if you forget to turn off the
fast freeze switch after
24 hours
, but by reason of economy, try to remember to turn it off
when freezing is complete. Exceptionally large items can be stored by removing the upper
basket. Frozen food should not be refrozen once it has thawed out. Do not remove items
from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
“frost/freezer burns”.
For safety reasons, the freezer baskets are fitted with stops but are readily removed by
