STARTING
Final Check
Before you start using the freezer check that:
1. The front feet have been adjusted so the appliance is level.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
3. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. Avoid
accidental disconnection by taping over the switch. Green light will
glow and the compressor will start running in about five minutes.
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed
within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the
compressor is running or not which is quite normal.
6. If you are going to store frozen food open the freezer door and check
that the fast-freeze button is off (the amber light will not come on). When
temperature reaches -18 °C or below, you can put in your frozen food. (See
Storing Frozen Food page 8).
7. If you are going to freeze fresh food, you must press the fast-freeze button. The
amber light will come on and you must wait at least three hours before putting
in your fresh food to be frozen. (See Freezing Fresh Food, Page: 9).
8. Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are
designed to be warm to avoid condensation.
9. We recommend that you set the thermostat knob at MIN setting and monitor
the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures
(See Temperature Control and Adjustment section).
Important Notes :
1. If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than 11 hours. If the failure is longer, then
the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then
re-frozen.
2. If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don't
worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalise and allow the
door to open normally after a few moments.
3. You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.
4. When you switch on, the appliance will not start immediately, because the
appliance incorporates a protection device in the electronics - wait for about
5 minutes.
5. If the freezer door is left open [Or ajar] for more than 60 seconds, the door
open alarm will be activated. You will hear the audible alarm ''beep'' warning
to make you aware that the door is not shut fully. As soon as you close the
door, the audible alarm would cancel itself.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a
frozen food storage
compartment.
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the
food retailer is maintained the following should be remembered:
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled by the electronic thermostat knob and may
be set at any position between MIN and MAX (The coldest position). MAX position
is -24 °C and MIN position is -18 °C.
The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower
temperatures may be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards MAX
position.
If temperature fluctuates after you put in food, don’t worry, it is not a fault.
Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal
temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed
immediately after food is put in or removed.
