Operation of freezer
Model 4
1 Freezer thermostat (setting the
temperature).
The freezer setting may be adjusted by
•
inserting a coin in the slot and turning
the knob to the desired setting
A setting midway on the dial should
•
generally give satisfactory results but
should it be required, the thermostat
may be turned to the right for a lower
and to the left for a higher temperature.

This light glows when there is electrical
•
power to the unit.
3 Fast freeze switch and orange
indicator light
Press the pad, located beneath the
•
central light, to activate the fast freeze
feature and again to switch it off. Fast
freeze is useful for freezing large loads
as quickly as possible.
It is not recommended to use the fast
•
freeze function for more than 12 hours.
Fast freeze will automatically switch off
•
after 48 hours of operation if it has not
been manually cancelled.
4 Alarm indicator light (red).
The alarm light flashes when the
•
freezer is not sufficiently cold. This may
occur just after the freezer has been
loaded with fresh foods, in the event of
a power failure or if the door has
inadvertently been left open.
Always react to the alarm light by
•
ascertaining the cause and taking
corrective action.
If the light flashes permanently, this
•
indicates that the freezer is not cooling.
