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.

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 temperature memory shows when an alarm has been triggered in the cabinet.

The temperature display and t he 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.

Atabout-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.
