The appliance is designed to operate at normal
room temperatures. Position it away from any heat
source such as a boiler, ovens and heaters which
will reduce the cooling efficiency of the freezer. It is
also not advisable to install the appliance in
unheated locations such as garages or
outbuildings, as these will impair the operation of
the freezer in winter.
The freezer requires space around the casing for
efficient cooling and operation. The minimum
clearances are shown in Figure 2.
The freezer must be installed on a firm flat and
level surface for it to work quietly and efficiently.
Keep the condenser tubes clear away from rear
wall or obstructions (Figure 1).
If the feet are not already fitted, screw them into
the two front corners of the bottom of the casing.
Fine adjustments can be made to level the
appliance by turning the feet to raise or lower with
the spanner supplied (Figure 3).
Switching on
Plug the freezer into a nearby power socket and
switch on.
Temperature control
Switch the freezer on for the first time and use the
key supplied, to turn the thermostat control to the
‘SF’ position on the dial (Figure 4). Leave the
freezer running with the door closed for
approximately 4 hours before storing food. (When
the thermostat is set to the Superfreeze position
(‘SF’ position). the freezer motor stays constantly
on.) Only use the ‘SF’ position for fast freezing
food, otherwise set the thermostat dial to a mid-
way position.
It is advisable to place a freezer thermometer (not
supplied) inside the freezer to check that the
temperature is maintained at –18°C to –20°C.
Note: The setting on the thermostat control is
dependent upon room temperature. If the
temperature inside the freezer is above –18°C to
–20°C, adjust the thermostat control towards MAX.
