Palsonic PAL177FZ User Manual - The Freezer Compartment
3
Position MID-Colder. Normally setting at this position.
Position MAX -Coldest
The temperature will be affected by:
Room temperature
How often the door is opened
How much food is stored
Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting, all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation
may be necessary
Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or products containing
alcohol.
To Start the Appliance
Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.
Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
Turn the thermostat control to the required setting. A midway setting is usually suitable for normal operation (see
thermostat control).
Leave the appliance for about 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside.
Normal
operating
sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at
the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a fain
‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.
The Freezer Compartment
The
symbol means that your freezer will store frozen food at
-18(-0.4) or colder allowing for long term frozen food
storage
and freezing of fresh food. The freezer temperature is controlled automatically by the thermostat situated in the
control
panel.
Due
to the different installations, methods of usage and weather conditions, adjustments to the temperature settings may be
required
.
These are best assessed against a temperature reading on thermometer buried in frozen food. The reading
must be taken quickly as the thermometer temperature will rise rapidly after removal.
Freezing Fresh Food
The maximum quantity of food you can freeze in 24 hours is 6.5kg.Place the fresh food on the freezer
compartment. Food may need rearranging to achieve this.
During the freezing process the temperature of fresh food should be reduced quickly so that ice crystals are kept as small as
possible to prevent damaging the structure of food. If freezing takes places slowly large ice crystals form and these will affect
the quality of food once it has defrosted.
Packets to be frozen should be placed in the basket in contact with baskets surface as far as possible and spaced apart to
allow cold air to circulate among them. They should not touch existing packets.
Frozen food should not be refrozen once it has thawed out.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, this could cause skin abrasions or
