Setting The Controls - Electrolux EU 1420 T Installation And Instruction Manual

SETTING THE CONTROLS
The controls for operating the freezer are located at the bottom front — see illustration below.
1 2 3 4 5 6
1.
On/Off switch. l = ON 0 = 0FF.
2. Green mains-on indicator iight.
3. Red temperature warning light.
4. Yellow fast-freeze indicator light.
5. Fast-freeze switch. N = NORMAL S = SUPER.
6. Thermostat dial.
To start the cooling unit, plug into the wall socket and
switch the socket on, set the switch (1) to the symbol
"I" and turn the thermostat dial (6) to No. 4. The fast-
freeze switch (5) should be at "N" (normal). The
green mains-on light will come on and the cooling
unit will start operating.
The freezer temperature will be affected by location,
room temperature and frequency of door opening,
and adjustment of the thermostat setting may be
needed to allow for this — see under the heading
"Temperature control".
When operating, the outside front edges of the
freezer may feel warm to the touch. This is quite
normal.
We advise you to run your freezer for a day before
storing frozen food.
Temperature control
With the thermostat dial set at 4, the temperature will
be suitable for the long term storage of frozen food
under most conditions of use. In cold weather the dial
may be turned to 3 but turn It back to 4 when the
weather becomes warmer again.
If colder temperatures are required for some reason,
turn the thermostat dial to a
higher
number. The
required temperature for long term storage of frozen
food is —18°C (0°F) or below.
Fast-freeze switch and yellow indicator iight
The fast-freeze switch overrides the thermostat and
should be used when freezing fresh foods as
explained later. When the fast-freeze switch is in use
(i.e. with the thermostat dial set against "S") the
yellow light will come on as a reminder.
Red temperature warning iight
The red light (3) in the control panel will come on as a
warning if the temperature in the freezer rises above
the level required for the safe storage of frozen food,
— provided of course that electricity is still available
and that the thermostat is at the correct setting.
The red light will come on when first starting up the
freezer and possibly after opening the door, or while
freezing fresh food, but it should go out as soon as
the temperature falls to the correct level. If it does
not, it indicates that something is wrong.
