C - Operation light

D - Fast freeze light

E - Alarm light

Start your appliance

Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (C) will illuminate to show that the appliance is on.

Temperature control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet.

To operate the freezer proceed as follows: Turn the thermostat control beyond the Ç■È position.

When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control to a medium setting.

For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.The internal temperature of the freezer is automatically adjusted by the thermostat to ensure safe food storage.

However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable room conditions such as

- poor ventilation,

- high temperature,

- frequent door openings,

it may be necessary to select a more suitable setting.

To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat control towards max; to obtain a higher temperature turn the control towards min.

Control Panel

A. Fast freeze knob

When you place fresh food in the appliance, turn the fast freeze knob to ÒSÓ.

B. Thermostat control knob

When you first start the freezer we suggest that you turn the thermostat to a medium setting by using a coin that fits the groove.

Min = lowest setting, minimum cold

Max = highest setting, maximum cold

C. Operation light

The operation light is illuminated continuously, to show that the appliance is on.

D. Fast freeze light

The fast freeze light is illuminated, to show that the fast freeze function is working.

E. Alarm light

If the alarm light (E) illuminates, it indicates that the temperature within the freezer has reached a level where the safe food storage is no longer ensured.

When the freezer is first switched on, the alarm light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a safe level for the storage of frozen food.

Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 22 kg of fresh food.

When you first start the freezer or after a period of non-use, turn the fast freeze knob to ÇSÈ 24 hours before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light (D) illuminates).

If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze knob should be activated about 2-3 hours before freezing fresh food.
