Start your appliance

Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (C) will light up 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 ÇOÈ position.

When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control to a medium setting, between 3 and 4. 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 colder temperature, turn the thermostat control to the higher number; to obtain a warmer temperature turn the control to the lower number.

Control Panel

A. Thermostat control

Turn the thermostat control clockwise to required setting, which is normally between 3-4.

B. Fast freeze knob

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

C. Pilot 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) lights up, 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 20 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) lights up).

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

This time can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in the two top compartments of the freezer as these are the coldest parts.
