OPERATING YOUR FREEZER

After connecting the freezer, turn the
temperature control knob to a position '6'
for 6 hours before loading your food
Plug replacement(UK&lreland only)
Should you need to replace the plug,the
wires in the power cable are colour in the
following way:
Blue - Neutral 'N'
Brown - Live 'L'
Green&Yellow - Earth 'E'
As the colours of the wires in the power cable
may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your
plug,and proceed as follows:
The green&yellow wire must be connected to
the terminal in the plug that is marked with
the letter E or by the earth symbol.
The blue wire must be connected to the
terminal that is marked with the letter N.
The brown wire must be connected to the
terminal that is marked with the letter L.
If power supply cord is damaged,it must
replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similar qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.

position" 1" the warmest to "6" the
coldest.Adjust the temperature control to the
setting that best suits your needs. The setting
of medium position should be appropriate for
home or office freezer use.
NOTE:
Turning the temperature control to "0"
position stops the cooling cycle but does not
shut off the power to the freezer.
If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned
off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
Restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart
before this time delay, the freezer will not
start.
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling
efficiency of the appliance.
If you choose to change the thermostat
setting, adjust thermostat control by one
numerical increment at a time. Allow several
hours for temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.

Defrosting Your Freezer
When? For the most efficient operation and
minimum energy consumption, defrost the
3
freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is
excessive or 5 to 10 mm thick.
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food
is low.
.Remove the drain plug on
the inside floor of the freezer
by rotating it.
.Place a shallow pan outside
drain outlet.
The defrost water will drain
out
CAUTION
Do not use boiling water because it may
damage the plastic parts. In addition, never
use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove
frost as it may damage the cooling coils and
will void the warranty. We recommend using
the plastic scraper .
Remove the frozen food from the freezer and
place it in a cooler to protect the food.
Turn the thermostat knob to "OFF".
Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light
5

should be off (green light out).
During defrosting, the ice melts into the
0
cabinet.
Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of
1
the freezer by rotating it.
4
Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet.
The defrost water will drain out.
Check the pan occasionally so the water
does not overflow.
Clean the interior of the freezer.
Replace the plug on the inside floor.
Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.
Return food to the freezer.

HELPFUL HINT:

Defrosting usually takes a few hours.
Leaving the door open will help speed the
process. Also, pouring warm water (not
boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed
melting. If you must use a scraper- please
use caution - it is very easy to damage the
freezer compartment and void your warranty.
