Operating Instructions

STARTING THE FREEZER

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

close the lid and allow the 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 satisﬁ ed that it is operating (cycling) regularly and no ﬁ nal adjustments

are necessary.

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

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

preservation 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 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.

Note:

This unit is not designed for outside installation, including installation anywhere that is not temperature controlled (garag-

es, porches, carports, etc.). Before connecting the appliance to an electrical power supply, let it stand 6 hours. This will

reduce the possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling.

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

front of the freezer cabinet. To start the freezer and achieve maximum cooling quickly:

•

Turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the furthest (maximum) setting on the darker blue (wide) section of the

graduated control dial.

•

Allow the freezer to run at this setting for 3-4 hours.

•

When maximum cooling is achieved, turn back the temperature control knob setting to the 2 o'clock position on the

graduated blue control dial. See Fig.1.

•

To turn off the freezer (no cooling), rotate the control knob to the "0" (off) position. See Fig.2.
