Operating InstructionsThe 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 satisfied that it is operating (cycling) regularly and no finaladjustments 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 foodstorage temperature is -18°C (0°F). Do not operate freezer at temperatures below -19°C (-3°F), as this does not improvefood preservation and only results in longer unit (cycle) running time. It is not advisable to freeze more than 1-1.4 kg / 2-3pounds of food, per litre squared / cubic foot, in any 24 hour period. It will take 15 or more hours of running to freeze thisamount of food.When adding fresh, unfrozen food packages, store them against the walls. The sensing bulb of the thermostat is fastenedto the liner wall on the “insulation side” of the freezer. In view of the value of the contents of your freezer, it is advisable toinspect 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. Thiswill reduce the possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling.STARTING THE FREEZERTEMPERATURE CONTROL6Setting Temperature:• The temperature of the freezer compartment is controlled by adjusting / setting the thermostat control panel. Press thearrow keys (3 and 8) to set / adjust the temperature. When the temperature icon is flashing, 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 takeapproximately 10 seconds to take effect. Pressing the lock key (4) will allow you to lock the control panel so that thetemperature cannot be changed without first 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 flashes, press the up or downarrows (3 and 8) to adjust the quick freeze time, either 6 hours or 48 hours. Once the setting has been selected, youcan lock the control panel. For household “quick freeze,” we recommend setting it to 6 hours.
