Freezer controls
Start your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light
➄
will light up to show that the appliance is on.
Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a
thermostat
➀
with 6 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum cold
Position 6 = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
l
Room temperature
l
How often the door is opened
l
How much food is stored
l
Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
To obtain a colder temperature, turn the thermostat
control to the higher numbers; to obtain a warmer
temperature turn the control to the lower numbers.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stabilise before making
further changes.
For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.
Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light
➃
lights up, it
indicates that the temperature within the freezer has
reached a level where safe food storage is no longer
ensured.
When the freezer is first switched on, the warning
light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to
a safe level for the storage of frozen food.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 20 kg of
fresh food.
Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast freeze
switch
➁
24 hours before you want to freeze your
fresh food, the yellow light
➂
illuminates. This time
can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food
to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the
food to be frozen in the appliance's two top
compartments; if freezing only a small amount of
food, use the top compartment. In the first
compartment, products must only be stacked up to
the mark on the cell so as to ensure that air
circulation is not obstructed.
You should never freeze more than 20 Kg. of
fresh food at anyone time.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze push button to
the «OFF» position; the yellow light
➂
goes off.
