Regulation and Control

I Freezer control knob

Setting the knob at 1 will give you a minimum freezing
temperature. Setting 7 will give you the maximum fre­ezing temperature. For normal use set the freezer at a
middle setting (The exact setting will depend on your
usage of the freezer).

2 The door alarm

If either of the doors is left open for a prolonged period
of time the door alarm will start to beeb and a red flas­hing light will go on. Pressing the alarm button will
switch the buzzer off and the light will stop flashing,
but remain red. If you simply shut the doors, this will
also switch off the door alarm buzzer and the light
automatically.

3 Temperature alarm

If the internal temperature has risen significantly the
temperature alarm will sound and the light will start to
flash. To switch the alarm off simply press the tempe­rature alarm button. This will stop the buzzer and the
red light will stop blinking and remain red.
The temperature alarm may go on because:
a.- The doors have been left open.
b.- There has been a power failure.
c.- More than the recomended amount of food has been
put in at one time.
d.- You need to set the temperature controls to a colder
position.
If the alarm goes on constantly you should contact you
THECNICAL OFICIAL SERVICE.

This feature is designed to help you freeze your
food more quickly. It is best to press the fast freeze
button before going shopping (preferably 3 houres
in advance) in order to have the freezer in an opti­mal state to put your food in. If you haven’t pressed
the button prior to purchasing your food you can of
course put your new purchases in, but it will take
longer for the freezer to cool down. (If you put a lot
of fresh food into your freezer you could cause the
temperature alarm to go on. For further information
see sention on temperature alarm).

seconds. When the product has been plugged in and
the button pressed for the 3 seconds, the button will
light up in green. If the ON/OFF button is green the
freezer knob and fridge knob will also be lit up.

6 Fridge control

Setting the knob to the standby position when the
freezer is working, but the fridge if not being used,
(for example when you go on holiday), will help
you to reduce energy consumption. The fridge door
however must be kept closed.
By turning the knob clockwise you will progressi­vely cool down the fridge. Position 5 is the coldest
setting possible.
If neither the fridge nor the freezer are being used
(i.e. The appliance switched off), both doors should
be left open. This will help to avoid any possible
smells caused by high levels of humidity.
