Starting The Freezer; Temperature Control - Danby Designer DUF138E1WDD Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

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 door and allow the freezer to operate. The unit will run from 1 to 2 hours (possibly longer, depending on con-
ditions) before operating temperature is reached. It will then start and stop (cycle) at fairly regular intervals. It is recom-
mended 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 (after running for 24 hours).
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 preservation and only results in longer unit (cycle) running time. It is not advisable to freeze more than 1-1.4 kg / 2-3
pounds of food, per litre squared / cubic foot, in any 24 hour period. It will take 15 or more hours of 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
(garages, 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.

Setting Temperature:
• The temperature of the freezer compartment is controlled by adjusting / setting the thermostat control panel. Press the
arrow keys (3 and 8) to set / adjust the temperature. When the temperature icon is fl ashing, you can set the tempera-
ture between -16°C to -24°C (3°F to -11°F), the recommended temperature setting is -18°C (0°F). The setting will take
approximately 10 seconds to take effect. Pressing the lock key (4) will allow you to lock the control panel so that the
temperature cannot be changed without fi rst unlocking the control panel (child lock function).
Setting Quick Freeze Function:
• The quick freeze function allows the compressor to continuously run for 6 or 48 hours. Press the quick freeze button
(7) twice and hold for 3 seconds to engage quick freeze mode. When the display icon fl ashes, press the up or down
arrows (3 and 8) to adjust the quick freeze time, either 6 hours or 48 hours. Once the setting has been selected, you
can lock the control panel. For household "quick freeze," we recommend setting it to 6 hours. To cancel the quick
freeze function, press the quick freeze key (7), the temperature icon will display -24, press the quick freeze button (7)
again to exit, the quick freeze function has now been cancelled. Once the quick freeze function ends or is cancelled,
the unit will revert to the last set temperature. If the unit cannot revert to the last set temperature, it will revert to the
default temperature (-18°C or 0°F).
