FREEZER OPERATION

The temperature of the freezer is adjusted using the knob assembled on the thermostat、4、5” does not represent a specific temperature. The smaller the No. the higher the temperatures. So, position “5” is the lowest temperature. Figures mean: “OFF”： Forced Shutdown Point 1-5：Frozen Interval (from -12 ℃ to -30 ℃） The achieved temperatures can vary according to the conditions of use of the appliance, such as the appliance, ambient temperature, and frequency of lid opening, extent of filling with food freezer.

The position of the thermostat knob will change according to these factors. Normally, the ambient temperature of approx. 25℃, the thermostat should be adjusted to the mild position. We recommend that you check the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the Frito is the desired temperature. Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.

Indicator Lights
The indicator light is placed on the front side of the freezer for easy visibility. Indicator lights mean the following:

• Green LED – indicates the freezer is plugged.
• The red LED – indicates the high temperature inside the cabinet.

Storing Frozen Food

Prepackaged commercially frozen food should be stored following the frozen food manufacturer’s instructions for a freezer compartment. To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retail maintained the following should be remembered:

1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2. Do not exceed the “Use By”, and “Best Before” dates on the packaging.

Freezing Fresh
Food Place the fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast freezing and away from already food, if possible. The freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 hours is 5 kg (10lb). Never exceed this maximum capacity. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the center as quickly as possible. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

1. There is a water conduit at the bottom of the freezer, when defrosting, extract the rubbed frosted water will drip into the hole and flow out. (NOTES: Please keep the rubber during the defrosting and put it back after defrosting is done).
2. Extract the water conduit by 20-25mm until the water hole can be seen.
3. Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
4. After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water coming out before out the conduit in place and make the arrow point upward.

Cleaning and Care
We recommend that you switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug cleaning. Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent, and wax polish cleaning. Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry.

Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to clean the interior and wipe it dry. Excess deposits of ice should be removed regularly using a plastic ice scraper available in store. A large accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the freezer. If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period switch it off, remove all food, and leave the lid ajar. Check lid seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
