• This appliance is designed to operate at temperatures specified in the table below is equipped with an Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System [AETCS] which ensures that at the advised setting [4 – four on the knob] the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. When first installed the product MUST NOT be placed in low ambient temperatures because the freezer will not reduce to it’s standard operating temperature. Once it has reached its steady operating state it can be re-located. So you may then install your appliance in a garage or an unheated room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. However at low ambient temperatures mentioned above, fridge contents are likely to freeze, so check and consume food in the fridge accordingly. When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may change the knob setting to suit your needs.
• If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in the fridge compartment will freeze.So, we recommend you don’t use the fridge compartment in such low ambient conditions. You can continue using the freezer compartment as usual.

Using your cooler/freezer

Setting the operating temperature

The operating temperature is regulated by temperature control. 1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting)
MAX. = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting)
Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature.
The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of food kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise. For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use.
The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower temperatures can be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards Position MAX.
We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember to take the reading immediately since the thermometer the temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Indicator lights
There are three colored indicator lights located inside the appliance which show the operating mode of the freezer.
Amber Indicator
Illuminates when the thermostat knob is turned to MAX. position and stays on until the fast freeze operation is deactivated manually.
Fast-freeze operation is for freezing fresh food.
Green Indicator
Illuminates when the appliance is connected to the mains and will glow as long as there is electricity present.
The green indicator does not give any indication of the temperature inside the freezer.
Red Indicator High-Temperature Alarm
After the appliance is turned on for the first time the alarm is not active for 12 hours (The red LED indicator is switched off).
After this period of time the red LED indicator is switched on in the following situations:
-If the appliance is overloaded with fresh food -If the door is left open by mistake.In these situations, the red LED indicator will continue to be switched on until the appliance
reaches the preset temperature. If the red LED indicator is still switched on then wait for 24 hours before calling service.
Thermostat knob
The thermostat knob is located on the indicator light frame.
Important: When you press the fast-freeze switch or adjust the set temperature, there may be a short delay before the compressor starts to operate. This is normal and not a compressor fault.
Freezing
Freezing food
You can use the appliance for freezing fresh food as well as for storing pre- frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food.
• Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such as colored ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.
• Attention
Keep the already deep-frozen food always separated with freshly placed food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling compressor will work until the food is completely frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.
Fast freeze
If large amounts of fresh food are going to be frozen, adjust the control knob to max. 24 hours before putting the fresh food in the fast freeze compartment.
It is strongly recommended to  keep the knob at MAX. position at least 24 hours to freeze the maximum amount of fresh food declared as freezing capacity. Take special care not to mix frozen food and fresh food. Remember to turn the thermostat knob back to its previous position once food has frozen.
