Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. 6 HI 5 1 4 Power Run Fast freeze 3 2 Position “4” is for normal use.
DEFROSTING Heavy frost will effect the freezing process or internal temperature of the appliance and increase power consumption. Thus, defrosting is required if the frost is >5mm thick. Defrosting is a manual process. Please follow these steps: 1. Disconnect the appliance. 2. Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cool area to protect the food. Remove the wire basket(s). 3. Open the lid and wait for the ice to defrost. During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet. 4.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE Cleaning the appliance Before cleaning: Turn appliance off at the power point, then remove the power cord from the outlet. This will make sure there is no chance of electric shock. WARNING Interior Clean the freezer interior regularly. Turn power off. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water. Wipe away any food spills thoroughly. Dry all surfaces and removable parts.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS 1. Reduce opening the lid frequently. This will increase the appliance efficiency and reduce power consumption. 2. Be sure to wrap food properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer. 3. There should always be some space between food items for proper air circulation. 4. Hot food should be cooled down before placing into the appliance, otherwise the interior temperature and power consumption will increase. 5.
