Adjustning the thermometer display

On delivery, the cabinet's thermometer is set to show the average temperature during normal operation
conditions. If the cabinet is used during other operational conditions, for example, in warmer surroundings,
with a lot of food or if the cabinet is run entirely or partially without accessories the thermometer display can
be adjusted for these conditions.
When adjusting the thermometer display, the cabinet should be working and freezing should not be active.
Press the shut down button for the Setting t he temperature "+" and the "-" button simultaneously and hold
them down for about 5 seconds. As confirmation, the sound will buzz with a short signal. The t hermometer is
now set for display of warmer food products. To return to normal display, repeat the same process. As
confirmation, the buzzer will give off a loud signal.

Information: It is very important to press the buttons at exactly the same time.

Please observe that the display will not change immediately. Instead, the temperature of the cabinet will

successively change internally.

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

Switch off the cabinet by pressing the power switch.
Keep the button pressed for approx. 1 second.

Power to the cabinet is completely
interrupted only when the power plug is
disconnected.

Alarms and other features

Door open alarm

If the door remains open for more than about 1,5
minute, the red indicator lamp starts flashing and an
audible alarm sounds.
To switch off the alarm:
Press the alarm shut-off button. As long as the door
remains open, the audible alarm will sound anew at
1-minute intervals. The red i ndicator lamp goes out
when the door is closed.

Temperature alarm

If the temperature rises above -12°C, the red warning
lamp flashes and an audible alarm sounds. The
temperature display will then start to flash.
To switch off the alarm:
Press the alarm shut-off button to switch off the
audible alarm. The temperature display will stop
flashing.
The red warning lamp goes out when the
temperature inside the freezer again falls below

-11°C.
Find out what caused the alarm. See the chapter
"Something not working".

Temperature memory

The temperature memory shows when an alarm has
been triggered in the cabinet.
The temperature memory operates as follows:
When the temperature inside the freezer again falls
below -11°C the audible alarm stops. The
temperature display and the red warning lamp will
flash to indicate than an alarm was triggered. When
the alarm shut-off button is pressed, the display then
displays the warmest temperature inside the cabinet
during the alarm phase and the display stops
flashing. By referring to the temperature display
indication, it is possible to decide whether or not to
discard the products inside the freezer.

At about -12°C:
Most food products can be immediately
re-frozen. Ice cream is especially sensitive to
temperature changes and should be consumed
as soon as possible.
At -9° - -2°C:
Food products should be prepared (cooked)
prior to eating or re-freezing them.
