After connecting the freezer to the power supply, set the temperature control dial to a medium setting (e.g., 'Normal'). Allow the appliance to operate empty for approximately 4-6 hours to reach the desired freezing temperature before loading food items.
Control de temperatura
The temperature inside the freezer is controlled by a dial located at the top interior of the appliance. The settings typically range from 'Min' (least cold) to 'Max' (coldest), with a 'Normal' setting for general use. Adjust the dial according to your needs and the ambient temperature. For optimal food preservation, a setting between 'Normal' and 'Max' is usually recommended.
