Operation
Using the Freezer
Switching on
When the freezer is first installed, switch on the Boost switch (11)
(Amber light will show) and run for at least 4 hours before putting in
frozen food. This will ensure that the cabinet is thoroughly chilled
before food is put in. Then turn off the Boost switch. If the cabinet
temperature is considered to be incorrect adjust the thermostat (8)
to a higher setting. If the appliance still does not get below -18°C,
contact your service agent.
Open/Closing the Lid
Do not open the lid frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing seal (3) to prevent moisture
entering the freezer and increasing the amount of frost formed.
When the lid is opened, the air inside the freezer becomes slightly
warmer and expands. When the lid is closed again, the air is cooled
immediately. This may cause a vacuum which makes it hard to open
the lid again. This is quite normal.
Wait for a few minutes until the vacuum has subsided, then open
gently. Never use excessive force on the handle.
Freezing fresh food
When loading your freezer with fresh food, place the food in contact
with the walls of the freezer. If necessary, the food may be placed
between already frozen food and the cabinet walls. The amount of fresh
food the appliance will freeze in 24 hours is on the table inside the front
cover.
External cleaning
The outside of the freezer should be cleaned regularly with a clean cloth,
wrung out in a mild detergent solution.
When the appliance is not in use
When switching off your freezer for a long period e.g.: holidays), it should
be disconnected from the electricity supply, cleaned inside and left with
the lid in an open position to prevent stagnation of any food residue.
Lubrication
Regular lubrication of the hinges is recommended to prevent cracking
noises.
