The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the tempe­rature inside the appliance depends on:

- the quantity of food stored

- how often the door is opened

- ambient temperature

Important:

Regularly check on the red temperature pilot lamp (C) and the ther­mometer that the required storage temperature is being maintained.

Audible temperature alarm

Your freezer is equipped with an audible temperature alarm, an acou­stic warning sounds simultaneously with illumination of the red tem­perature pilot lamp, alerting you to the fact that the storage tempera­ture in your freezer is too high or too warm. The audible warning
sounds until it is switched off by operation of the fast-freeze button.
