Beforeuse

Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the
section ”Installation”.

Before inserting the power plug into the
outlet and switching on the cabinet for
the first time, leave it standing upright
for about 30 minutes, or for 4 hours if it
was transported horizontally. Otherwise
the compressor may sustain damage.
This time will allow the oil sufficient
time to return to the compressor.

GB

Using the freezer

To start the freezer and set the
correct temperature

Turn the thermostat control to the desired position.

MIN

The lowest position of the thermostat control results
in the highest temperature inside the cabinet.

MAX

The highest position of the thermostat control results
in the lowest temperature inside the cabinet.
H :
Switched off.
Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This
will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.

Temperature inside the freezer

To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be
sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C
or below. Please note, however, that the energy
consumption increases as the temperature decreases.

GB

Switching off

Turn the control anti-clockwise past the click
position to ”H”.
Unplug the power supply plug from the wall socket
or, alternatively, remove the fuse.
