The first time you turn the unit on, turn the temperature control knob in a clockwise direction to the maximum setting "7" and run for
at least 2 hours before putting frozen foods inside This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.
The thermostat should be adjusted according to different environment temperature and the quantity of food being stored by adjusting
the knob of the thermostat.
The knob rotates clockwise from "1" (warmest temperature) to "7" (coldest temperature); the setting "4" should be correct for normal
everyday use.
To turn the refrigerator off, turn the temperature control to "0"; the "0" position stops the cooling cycle but doesn't shut off the
refrigerator. Red light: power on

for temperature to stabilize between adjustments.

2.2 Food Storage in the Appliance

This freezer is a 4 star rated appliance.
The use of a freezer is for freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for long periods of time and making ice cubes. Do not put fresh
or warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen food. While freezing fresh food (i.e. meat, fish etc) divide them
into smaller portions, this will allow you to defrost only the food you need. For storing frozen food; the instructions shown on frozen
food packages should always be followed carefully, if no information is provided food should not be stored for more than 3 months
from the purchased date.
When buying frozen food; ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact. Frozen food
should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be placed into the freezer as soon as
possible.
If a package of frozen food shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that it has been previously stored at an
unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food
and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the
package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
