Operation Before Use Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly. Starting the Appliance Insert the plug into the wall socket. When the appliance is connected to the power supply the green indicator light will illuminate.
Freezing Fresh Food It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible. If more than 3-4kg of food is to be frozen: 1. Turn the thermostat control knob to the highest setting ("Max"). The freezer will now run continuously creating a sufficient reserve of the temperature required. 2. Turn the thermostat control knob up 6-24 hours before placing new food in the freezer depending on how much food is to be frozen. 3.
Baskets The baskets are designed for the storage of food which has already been frozen. The handles can be placed in two positions, as shown. The baskets can either be placed inside the freezer or hung on the edge of the casing. Spare baskets can be obtained from your local Service Force Centre. The following illustrations show how many baskets can be placed in various freezer models. The number above each illustration shows the width of the freezer in millimetres.

When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and out.
