Digital temperature display
(not included with all models)
Some models have a digital temperature display integrated in the handle of the lid. In normal operation, it shows the temperature of the frozen products in centigrade (°C). There are however the following exceptions:
-After switching on the freezer "- -" is shown briefly.
-If the temperature inside the freezer is higher than 0 °C, "+" appears.
-If the storage temperature cannot be measured due to a malfunction, "+" or "-36", appear and at the same time the warning buzzer and the red warning light indicate an alarm condition. (Also see section "Something Not Working").
The temperature display indicates the temperature of the frozen food and therefore changes relatively slowly, if you put fresh goods in for example. If you leave the lid open for a long time, the temperature warning may respond, the temperature display may however remain unchanged. In this case there is no malfunction. Press the WARNING OFF button, to switch the warning buzzer off. The
red warning light goes out automatically after a short time.
TEMPERATURE WARNING
If the temperature in the freezer is too high, the warning buzzer sounds and the red warning light flashes.
The warning buzzer and red warning light are triggered:
-if the storage temperature required has not yet been reached when starting the freezer; if the storage temperature is no longer maintained (malfunction);
-after inserting fresh foodstuffs in a greater quantity than permitted by the freezing capacity (see section on "Freezing";
-if the lid is left open too long.
You can switch off the warning buzzer with the WARNING OFF button. The red warning light continues to flash until it is sufficiently cold again inside the freezer.
The warning buzzer and red warning light are not triggered:
-if the power supply is interrupted;
-if the electronic thermostat is faulty.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
A coin has to be used to turn the temperature control knob. This makes it more difficult to inadvertently adjust the temperature (child protection).
Position "1" means: warmest internal temperature Position "4" means: coldest internal temperature Recommended position: "2 " or "3"
Turn the temperature control knob to position "2" or "3" using a coin.
The internal temperature will be affected by the following:
-ambient temperature
-quantity of food stored;
-frequent or prolonged opening of the lid.
