4. Instruccions de funcionament
4.1 Inici inicial
- After plugging in the freezer, set the temperature control dial to the 'MAX' or coldest setting.
- Allow the freezer to operate empty for 2-4 hours to reach its operating temperature.
- Once the freezer has cooled sufficiently, you can begin loading food.
4.2 Control de temperatura
The temperature control dial allows you to adjust the internal temperature. Settings typically range from 'MIN' (least cold) to 'MAX' (coldest). A medium setting is usually sufficient for general frozen food storage. Adjust the setting based on ambient temperature and how often the lid is opened.
