Operation

Switching On Your Unit

• Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The
internal temperature of your unit is controlled by a
thermostat. There are three settings MIN, NORMAL,
and MAX.
• After the unit has been on for 20 minutes adjust
the thermostat control dial to NORMAL. This is the
recommended setting when operating at normal
room temperature (between 16°C and 38°C).
• The unit may not operate at the correct temperature
if it is in a particularly hot or a particularly cold room,
or if you open the door often.
• To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently
chill and freeze your food, wait 24 hours before filling
it with food.
• If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept
cold enough and wish to check the temperature, you
will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer. These
are available from most supermarkets and hardware
shops. Place the thermometer in the centre of the
unit, where it can be read easily. Leave overnight, the
temperature in the unit should be between -18°C or
lower.

Adjusting the Temperature

The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. MAX position makes the
appliance coldest and it is used for fast freezing. The recommended position is between Min and
Max but should be adjusted according to its environment.

Fast Freezing

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. Setting MAX makes your freezer operate
continually and get colder (approx. -28
goodness of your food. Freezing will be complete after 24 hours. Turn the thermostat control
dial back to position NORMAL, to allow the freezer to return to its normal temperature (-18
Never freeze large quantities of fresh food at one time.

Noises Inside the Unit!

You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,
but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has
become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will
not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.
