When should I use the Superfreeze function?

This function is primarily used if you have loaded a large amount of new food, had a power outage, had the door open for a long period of time either intentionally or by accident. Superfreeze will help the freezer reach set temperature quicker. This will automatically switch off after 26 hours and/or the freezer temperature goes to below -20 degrees.

Freezer based on getting to -18 in 24 hours with 20kg of new food. More than 20kg will take longer. Put Superfreeze on until unit reaches set temperature.

Temperature has gone above -10 and alarm light is on

• If you have loaded a large quantity of new food this is normal, put the Superfreeze on and you should see the temperature slowly move back to the set temperature. If after 3 to 4 hours the temperature has not started to move back towards the set temperature phone our customer service line.
• Check the set temperature is at the correct -20 or -21 degrees. Refer user manual.
• If you have checked through the Frequently Asked Questions and your unit is still too warm, please take precaution for your food until a registered Acqua Service Agent is able to service your unit. 

Should I adjust the set temperature?

The set temperature should be at around approximately -20 degrees. Refer user manual. You should not have to adjust this once set.

There is condensation on the outside of the freezer.

• Condensation may condense during hot and humid days or depending on the place of installation.

Temperature on the outside and rear side of the freezer is hot/warm

In normal operation, the freezer transfers heat from inside to outside of the cabinet. It is normal for the side and rear of the freezer to feel warm/hot while operating. This will be more noticeable during start up and hot ambient conditions.

Door hard to open
