Once set, the temperature display shows the current temperature inside the freezer. 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. It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the cabinet is switched on after it has been out of use. The thermostat recalls the previously set temperature.

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 t he "-" button simultaneously and hold t hem 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.

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.

ACTIONFREEZE

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.

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.
