Control panel
The thermostat control situated in the control
panel regulates the temperature of the
freezer compartment.
Position"Cold"–Cold.
Position"Mid"–Colder
normally, setting at this position.
Position"Colder"–Coldest.
The temperature will be affected by:
Room temperature
How often the door is opened
How much food is stored
Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature
control setting, all these factors have to be
considered and some experimentation may
be necessary. Do not allow children to
tamper with the controls or play with the
product.
Important!
-Normally we advise you select
setting of "Mid", if you want the temperature
higher or lower please turn the knob to
Warmer or colder setting accordingly.
When you turn the knob to colder which can
lead to the more energy efficiency.
Otherwise, it would result the energy-
consuming.
Important!
-High ambient temperatures
(e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting
on the temperature regulator (position
"Colder") can cause the compressor to run
continuously or even non-stop!
Reason:
when the ambient temperature is
high, the compressor must run continuously
to maintain the low temperature in the
appliance.
The freezer compartment
The symbol means that your freezer will
store frozen food at -18°C(-0.4F) or colder
allowing for long term frozen-food storage
and freezing of fresh food. The freezer
temperature is controlled automatically by the
thermostat situated in the control panel. Due
to the different installations, methods of
usage and weather conditions, adjustments
to the temperature settings may be required.
These are best assessed against a
temperature reading on a thermometer
buried in the frozen food. The reading must
be taken quickly as the thermometer
temperature will rise rapidly after removal.
Place the fresh food in the top freezer
drawer. Food may need rearranging to
achieve this. During the freezing process the
temperature of fresh food should be reduced
quickly so that ice crystals are kept as small
as possible to avoid damaging the structure
of food. If freezing takes place slowly large
ice crystals form and these will affect the
quality of food once it has defrosted.Existing
frozen food should be rearranged to leave
space in the top two drawers for freezing.
The packets to be frozen should be placed
in the drawer in contact with the drawer
surface as far as possible and spaced apart
to allow cold air to circulate between them.
They should not touch existing packets. If
there is enough room, transfer the food you
have frozen to the baskets or drawers to
allow you to freeze a further load in the top
drawer. Exceptionally large items can be
stored by removing the drawer. Frozen food
should not be refrozen once it has thawed
out. Do not remove items from the freezer if
your hands are damp/wet, as this could
cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer
burns".For safety reasons, the freezer
drawer are fitted with stops but are readily
removed by pulling them forward to the stop,
then lifting the front and pulling all the way
out. Refit by reversing this procedure.
Frozen food storage
Pre-packed commercially frozen food should
b e s t o r e d i n a c c o r d a n c e w i t h t h e
manufacturer's instructions for a 4 star
frozen food compartment and should be put
in the freezer as soon as possible after
purchase. Your freezer provides for long
term storage which generally means up to 3
months but the length of the time can vary
a n d i t i s i m p o r t a n t t o f o l l o w t h e
recommended times shown on packets of
commercially frozen food. Do not place
sealed containers or carbonated liquids such
as fizzy drinks into the freezer as it creates
pressure on the container which may cause
it to explode leading to damage to the
freezer. Ice cubes and ice lollies should not
be consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer as it may result in low
temperature skin abrasions.
