Moving Your Appliance; Freezing And Storing Food - THOMSON THFZ 190 Instruction Manual

To switch off super freeze
Press Super Freeze again. The indicator light will go out.
NOTE: The super freeze function will switch off automatically after approximately 24 hours.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow
the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.
• Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food. Also remove all mobile
parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the appliance to avoid any shock.
• Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing
upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.
Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly
and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore you should be careful during shipment and installation to
prevent your appliance's cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage
to the cooler elements, move your appliance from open flame or heat sources and ventilate the room
where the appliance is located for a few minutes.
