Sub-standard freezer
1/5
It looks good from the front but parts of the refrigeration unit protrude beyond the cabinet at the rear and there is no grill guarding the motor unit. The freezer is supposed to be suitable for use in an outbuilding - I hope no rodents chew the electrics. The instructions for setting the temperature are nonsensical "for an ambient temperature of approx. 22°C the thermostat should be adjusted to the position" (the remainder of the line was blank). The temperature control knob has 3 black dots around the perimeter but no explanation of what these represent. I had to sprend several days finding the appropiate position on the control to get an average temperature in the freezer of -18C. At this position the temerature fluctuated over 3.5°C. For comparison, a 29-yeart old Hotpoint chest freezer alongside only varied by 1.1°Ç.
