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 the temperature "+" and the "-" button simultaneously and hold
them down for about 5 seconds. As confirmation, the sound will buzz with a short signal. The thermometer 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 t he
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.

indication, it is possible to decide whether or not to
discard the products inside the freezer.

Most food products can be immediately
re-frozen. Ice cream is especially sensitive to
temperature changes and should be consumed
as soon as possible.
