section "Installation".
Before inserting the power plug into the
outlet and switching on the cabinet for
the first time, leave it standing upright

time will allow the oil sufficient time to
return to the compressor.

Using the freezer
To start the freezer and set the
correct temperature
Switching on:
Switch on the freezer by pressing the power switch.
The alarm sounds if the temperature inside
freezer reaches room temperature. Turn off the
by pressing the switch-off
button.
Setting the temperature
Press the buttons until the desired temperature blinks
on the temperature display. (The temperature can be
set between -15°C and -24°C.)
"+" increases the temperature.
"-" decreases the temperature.
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.

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.
