Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. 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.
2. 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).
3. 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.
4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently chill
your food wait 24 hours before filling it with food.
5. 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 is the coldest
setting and it is used for fast freezing. The recommended position is NORMAL, but it should be
adjusted according to the environment.
Fast Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. Setting MAX makes your unit operate at its
coldest temperatures (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. After freezing your
food turn the thermostat control dial back to NORMAL (-18°C). 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.
