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.
Alarms and other features

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
Press the fast-freezing button approx. 24 hours prior
to placing the food in the freezer.

24-hour period.
Fast-freezing is automatically switched of apporox
50 hours after the button has been pressed.
