THE CONTROL PANEL
The freezer is controlled with switches and the thermostat button.
It is shown below:
1 ON/OFF switch (green signal lamp)
2 Continuous operation button (yellow signal lamp)
3 Alarm off button (red signal lamp)
KEY:
1) ON /OFF SWITCH -
When the appliance is switched on, the green light comes on.
When it is off, the light goes off.
2) CONTINUOUS OPERATION BUTTON -
This switch is used to select one of the two automatic operation
modes: continuous and automatic.
i) CONTINUOUS OPERATION –
the yellow light is on. In continuous operation, the cooling system
will work constantly to chill your appliance. Select this mode
when you want to freeze large amounts of fresh foods and in
case you want to deep freeze foods that are already frozen.
ii) AUTOMATIC OPERATION –
the yellow light is off. The interior temperature is controlled by the
thermostat which turns the cooling system on and off.
How often the appliance switches its cooling system on and
off depends on:
• The thermostat knob position (thermostat position)
• How often you open the door.
• Ambient temperature.

3) Alarm off Button and the red signal lamp
• You turn the alarm off by pressing the Alarm off’ button. It looks
like this:
The alarm goes on because the temperature inside the freezer
has risen errantly beyond the scope of the setting you had
selected (red signal lamp will be on). It will also go off when the
there is excessive dust collected at the back of the condenser
(red signal lamp will be off).
