INDICATOR LIGHTS
There are three coloured indicator lights located on the front of the appliance
which shows the operating mode of the freezer.
Green Indicator (1)
Illuminates when the appliance is connected to the mains and will glow as long as
electricity is available. The green light will not glow if the thermostat is set in the
'0' position. The green indicator does not give any indication of the temperature
inside the freezer.
Amber Indicator (2)
This indicator will glow when the fast freeze switch (4) is on and will continue to
glow until the fast freeze switch is turned off. The compressor will run continuously
while fast freeze switch is on. Fast freeze operation is for freezing fresh food (see
Freezing Fresh Food, page 11).
Red Indicator (3) Illuminates:
a. If the pre-set temperature can not be maintained.
b. If excessive amounts of fresh food are placed inside.
c. If the appliance door is left open accidentally.
Thermostat knob (5)
Thermostat knob is located on the indicator light set.
IMPORTANT :
When you press the fast freeze switch, there may be a short delay before the
compressor starts to operate. This is normal and not a compressor fault.
STARTING
Final Check
Before you start using the freezer check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted and the product is level.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
3. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. Avoid
accidental disconnection by taping over the switch. Green and red lights will
glow and the compressor will start running.
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed
within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the
compressor is running or not which is quite normal.
6. If you are going to store already frozen food open the freezer door and check
that the fast-freeze switch is at off (the amber light will not come on). The red
light will go out when the freezer has reached the correct temperature. Then
you can put in your already frozen food. (See Storing Frozen Food page 9).
7. If you are going to freeze fresh food, you must press the fast-freeze switch. The
amber light will come on and you must wait at least three hours before putting
in your fresh food to be frozen. (See Freezing Fresh Food, Page: 10).
8. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the
manufacturing process used, so do not worry, it is not a defect.
9. Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are
designed to be warm to avoid condensation.

10. We recommend that you set the thermostat knob at 3 and monitor the
temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures
(see section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
11. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the
correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you
check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature
Control and Adjustment).
Important Notes :
1. If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than 16 hours. If the failure is longer, then the
food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then
re-frozen.
2. If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don't
worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalise and allow the door
to open normally after a few minutes.
