1. Thermostat dial
The thermostat automatically keeps the internal temperature at a constant level. The temperature is regulated by
the thermostat dial, located on the freezer control panel. To change the temperature, turn the dial anti-clockwise from
1 (highest temperature) to 5 (coldest temperature). We recommend that you start with the appliance set to position 3.
Don not turn the dial beyond the maximum. To switch the freezer off, turn the dial anticlockwise to the
minimum position.
2. Super freeze switch
This freezer is equipped with a super freeze function. This allows the freezer compressor to run continuously and
so freezes food more quickly. To select this function, push the switch across until the super freeze indicator light (5)
illuminates. To switch the function off, then push the switch back across until the indicator light goes out again.
Note that this should not be used for more than 24 hours.
3. Power indicator light
This green light will illuminate when the freezer is switched on.
4. Over temperature indicator light
This red light will illuminate when the temperature inside the freezer is too high. This may illuminate after the door
has been opened, or when fresh food is added and should switch off again once the temperature within the freezer
has stabilised.
5. Super freeze indicator light
This yellow light will illuminate when the super freeze function has been switched on with the super freeze switch (2).

Never use any metallic or sharp objects to remove the ice as this could damage the lining.
The freezer compartment should be defrosted regularly to ensure the most efficient running of the freezer.
Once the ice is more than 5mm thick, the freezer should be defrosted.
First remove the freezer drawers.
To speed up the process, place a bowl of warm water in the base of the freezer compartment.
Once defrosting is complete, dry the inside of the freezer compartment with a sponge or clean cloth thoroughly. Then
re-connect the mains power supply.
