Fitting the glass lids.
• The two glass lids supplied with the unit should be fitted as follows:
• Around the upper perimeter of the unit there are two aluminium retaining ledges each
of which has a cut out at the rear,
• Slide the bottom right lid into the lower front ledge. Lower it through the slot at the
rear and slide to the right
• Repeat the sequence for the upper left lid using the upper ledge and sliding to the left.
• Ensure that the handles face up and are at the sides of the unit when the lids are closed.
NOTE
During operation, particularly in high humidity conditions, there may be some condensa-
tion on the lids. This is normal and does not negatively affect the performance of the unit.

• Wrap all food before storage or place in airtight containers to prevent dehydration.
• The art of good packing is to eliminate all the air pockets from packages and to keep
air out by firm sealing. A heavy deposit of frost on the inner surface of a package taken
from the freezer means that air pockets were not eliminated before sealing.
• When packaging in sheet material such as aluminium foil, parcel tightly and press out
all air pockets. All folds should be sealed with deep-freeze sealing tape.
• Spilt food containing acids /salt could cause permanent staining of the cabinet interior.
• When loading bulk into the freezer, load one quarter at a time and allow to freeze be-
fore loading the next quarter.
• Allow hot food to cool before putting it in the freezer.
• Remember, liquids can increase in volume when frozen. Do not store sealed bottles,
jars or cans in the freezer as the contents will freeze, expand and rupture the container.
• Do not exceed the expiry date shown on food packs.
• Do not pack above the maximum load line shown on the inside of the cabinet.
The thermostat is pre-set at the factory to give a temperature in the cabinet of –18 °C.
This temperature is ideal for storing frozen food for long periods of time.
Temperature setting
1. The freezer should be defrosted whenever the ice build up on the inside wall exceeds
