The temperature control is located on top of the front right
hand side of the cabinet on Models WFM0900 and
WFM1800. On Model WFM0700, the control knob is on
the back of the cabinet in the lower left corner.
Leave the control knob in the ‘Mid’ position for a trial
period. The control setting can be adjusted if required by
rotating the knob. Turn in a clockwise direction for a colder
temperature. When the thermostat is turned to its lowest
setting and past the point of resistance, the appliance will
not operate.

Your freezer should be defrosted when frost is
approximately 6mm thick otherwise it will interfere with
efficient operation and storage capacity. To ensure
optimal hygiene and efficiency complete defrosting is
recommended at least twice a year, preferably when food
supply is low.
• Switch off power to freezer at power outlet and remove
power supply plug from electrical outlet.
Remove frozen food, wrap in newspaper and place in a
cardboard box or esky.
Leave door open and wait for the frost to soften. Pans of
hot water may be placed inside the freezer to speed up
the defrosting process.
Place towels and a container to catch the water in the
bottom of the freezer.
WARNING
On no account should an electric heater or hair dryer be
used for defrosting the freezer.
CAUTION
Do not use a knife, metal scraper or sharp pointed tool or
instrument to remove ice as they may cause damage to the
lining of your freezer.
• Scrape the softened frost off the walls of your freezer
using a plastic scraper.
After defrosting is complete and all of the water has
drained, wipe the freezer thoroughly with a damp cloth
before drying thoroughly.
Reconnect the power cord to the electrical outlet and
switch on.
Replace frozen food.

Your freezer was cleaned and polished before it left the
factory. Before use, dust and wipe over inside and out
using a clean dry cloth.
This product is designed to operate on a power supply of
220/240 volts 50Hz. Connect to a separate power point
with a correctly earthed three pin socket. Do not use
double adaptors.

The freezer transfers heat from food placed inside to the
outside air. This process makes the rear and sides of the
outer cabinet feel warm to touch, particularly at initial start
up. This is normal.
Make sure you fully close the freezer door after loading or
removing food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy frost
will coat the inside of the freezer. Ensure that baskets or
bins are pushed all the way in to prevent the door being
held open.
If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off you must
wait 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to
restart before this time delay, the freezer will not start.

Try not to leave the door open for too long, especially in
warm and humid climates.
• It is recommended that you wrap all food in freezer bags.
• Corned or pickled products (containing salts) must NOT
be stored in the freezer unless thoroughly sealed. Salts
cause metal oxidisation.
In some circumstances (particularly after recent opening
and closing of the door) you may experience a heavier
than normal resistance when opening the door. Should
this occur wait a minute or two between openings to
stabilise the air pressure within the cabinet.
If going away for an extended period, turn your freezer
off, remove all foods and dry interior thoroughly. Unplug
the freezer from the electrical outlet and leave the door
open.
If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen
foods will stay frozen for up to 24 hours depending
on temperature and load conditions if the door is kept
closed.
•It is recommended that to ensure safe food storage, the
freezer operates for 3 hours with the door closed before
being stocked with food. It is also recommended that
you wait until the following day before you purchase
additional food, either frozen or unfrozen, to stock your
freezer.
WARNING
Do not touch freezer shelf surfaces, particularly when hands
are damp or wet. Extremely low temperatures may cause
your hands to stick.
