Operating Instructions

STARTING THE

FREEZER

The freezer is ready to operate as received, when connected to the power supply. After connecting to power supply, close lid

and allow freezer to operate. The unit will run from 1 to 2 hours (possibly longer, depending on conditions) before operating

temperature is reached. It will then start and stop (cycle) at fairly regular intervals. It is recommended that food not be placed

in the freezer until you are satisfied that it is operating (cycling) regularly and no final adjustments are necessary.

Once your freezer is starting and stopping (cycling) regularly, it is ready to freeze and store foods. The proper food storage

temperature is -18°C (0°F). Do not operate freezer at temperatures below -19°C (-3°F), as this does not improve food preser-

vation and only results in longer unit (cycle) running time. It is not advisable to freeze more than 25 kg (50 lbs.) of food in any

24 hour period. It will take 15 or more hours of unit running time to freeze this amount of food.

When adding fresh, unfrozen food packages, store them against the walls. The sensing bulb of the thermostat is fastened to

the liner wall on the “insulation side” of the freezer. In view of the value of the contents of your freezer, it is advisable to

inspect contents and check freezer operation regularly.

TEMPERATURE

CONTROL

The temperature of the freezer compartment is controlled by adjusting / setting the thermostat control knob, located on

the front of the freezer cabinet.

• Turn the temperature control knob to the middle position, see figure 1. This setting will give suitable freezer tempera-

tures for most room conditions and user preferences.

• If the freezer is too cool after 5 hours of running, turn the temperature control knob counterclockwise to about 10

o’clock. (The warmest setting is shown in figure 2.)

• If the freezer is too warm after 5 hours of running, turn the temperature control knob counterclockwise to about 2

o’clock. (The coldest setting is shown in figure 3.)

• To turn off the freezer, rotate the temperature control knob to the “0” position, see figure 4.
