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.
Once set, the temperature display shows "- -" until
the temperature inside the fridge reaches -1°C or
below.

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.
The built-in temperature display shows the warmest
temperature inside the freezer. If the temperature is
measured using a thermometer, put it between the
products since this will reflect the real temperature
in the frozen products. It is normal that the built-in
temperature display shows a temperature slightly
above that measured in other ways.
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.
Alarms and other features
Temperature alarm
The warning lamp lights and an alarm sounds if it
gets warmer than -10°C.
Switching off the audible alarm: Press the switch-off
button. The red warning lamp goes out when it
becomes colder than -9°C.
The temperature alarm can start also at
colder than -9°C if e.g. the door has been
left open for a long time.
Freezing
You need not press the fast-freezing button when
freezing smaller quantities of food during any
24-hour period.
In all other cases, press the fast-freezing button
approx. 24 hours prior to placing the food in the
freezer .
Press the fast-freezing button to switch off
fast-freezing again about 24 hours after placing the
food in the freezer.
The yellow fast-freezing lamp remains lit as long as
the fast-freezing button is engaged.
