If the temperature warning light � lights up, it indicates that the temperature within the freezer has reached a level where safe food storage is no longer ensured. When the freezer is first switched on, the warning light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a safe level for the storage of frozen food.
Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one �OFF� (O) position. Position 1 = minimum cold Position 6 = maximum cold Turn the thermostat dial to the required position. An intermediate position is usually the most suitable, although 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. To obtain a colder temperature, turn the thermostat control to the higher numbers; to obtain a warmer temperature turn the control to the lower numbers. When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stablise before making further changes. For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 12 kg of fresh food. Activate fast freeze by sliding the fast freeze switch � to the left (fast freeze position) 24 hours before you want to freeze your fresh food, the yellow light � illuminates. This time can be shortened depending on the quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in the top compartment of the freezer as this is the coldest part. In the top compartment, products must only be stacked up to the mark on the cabinet wall so as to ensure that air circulation is not obstructed. Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the �OFF� position; the yellow light � goes off. Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartment can be used for a further freezing operation.
