Operation

Switching On Your Unit

1. On first connecting the mains cable to the mains
socket, all 3 status indicators will light up. Once the
unit reaches the correct temperature:
• Power Indicator (green): stays on
• Run Indicator (red): switches on and off as the unit
maintains its internal temperature
• Alarm Indicator (amber): lights up when the unit's
internal temperature rises above -9°C.
2. The internal temperature of your freezer is controlled
by a thermostat. Adjust the thermostat control dial
to the desired position, 6 makes the appliance colder
and is used for fast freezing. The ideal position is 4
but should be adjusted according to its environment.
The appliance may not operate correctly if it is in a
particularly hot or cold room or if the door is opened
often or for prolonged periods.
3. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently
freeze your food, wait 24 hours before filling it with food.
4. 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 freezer and leave
overnight. The correct temperature for the freezer should be -18°C or lower.

Adjusting the Temperature

The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. The recommended position is
between 2 and 3 for colder working environments (i.e. during winter) and between 4 and 5 for
hotter environments. Please adjust according to the environment.

Freezing

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. Turn the dial to 6 so your freezer will operate
at the coldest temperature (approximately -28°C) continuously. It helps to quickly freeze and
retain more of the goodness of your food. Freezing will be completed after 24 hours. Then turn
the dial back to its original position.
The Alarm indicator will light up if the unit's internal temperature rises above -9°C.
