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.
