Operation

Control Panel

Turn On

1. Close the lid of the appliance.
2. Connect the appliance to a mains power supply. The POWER indicator light starts to illuminate.
3. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature to turn the appliance on. The thermostat is graded from 1 (-12°C) to 7 (-24°C).
   Note: Avoid turning on and off too frequently. After turned off, wait an interval of 5 minutes before turning it on again.

Storing Food
To get the best results from your appliance, follow these instructions:

• Let hot food cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance will force the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or may even spoil.
• Wrap or cover food where possible. Ensure to wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Appliance storage compartment should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax paper or paper towelling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation thus make the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce lid openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as possible at one time and close the lid as soon as possible.
• For best and fastest freezing, it is better to split food into smaller portions.
• The pre-set position of baskets has already been set in the most efficient use of this unit. Ensure that baskets are not over-filled. It is important that the lid should close onto the body for the appliance to refrigerate efficiently.
• To prevent food waste from drying out (freezer burns), place food in airtight packaging.
• Take note of the “use by” date and recommended freezer storage time. Ensure that food to be used is made easily accessible.

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:

• Opening the lid for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch it off. Then defrost and clean it thoroughly. Let it dry well and leave the lid open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that they are not in contact with or drip onto other food.
• Please store different food according to the compartments or targeted storage temperature of your purchased items.
• If the gasket or seal is damaged or deformed, energy consumption will increase. To restore efficiency replace gasket.

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

• Always switch off and disconnect the power supply before cleaning.
• Clean the interior of the appliance as often as possible.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. These can leave harmful residues.
• Clean the lid seal with warm water only.
• Always wipe dry after cleaning.
• Condensation and ice will form with frequent and prolonged opening of the doors.
• Operating outside of the recommend temperature range and placing next to a heat source will also increase the amount of ice and internal/external condensation. If external condensation occurs wipe the surface down with a cloth.
• Excessive ice will result in longer running times that will increase energy consumption and increase the deterioration of components.

Manual defrost
Nisbets Essentials recommend defrosting the appliance when any frost build up inside the freezer reaches 5mm thick.

1. Turn the freezer off and disconnect it from the power supply.
2. Remove food and shelving basket.
3. Put a water container underneath the drain hole at the left lower part of the front. Then unscrew the 2 drain hole covers (one inside the compartment; the other on the front housing).
4.  Let the inside frost melt naturally. Wipe off any residue water.
5. When defrost done, put back the drain hole covers.
