Before use
Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the
section "Installation".
Before inserting the power plug into the
outlet and switching on the cabinet for
the first time, leave it standing upright
for about 4 hours. Otherwise the
compressor may sustain damage. This
time will allow the oil sufficient time to
return to the compressor.
GB
Using the freezer
To start the freezer and set the
correct temperature
Turn the thermostat control to the desired position.
1 : The lowest position of the thermostat control
results in the highest temperature inside the cabinet.
6 : The highest position of the thermostat control
results in the lowest temperature inside the cabinet.
0 : Switched off.
Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This
will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.
Temperature inside the freezer
To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be
sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C
or below. Please note, however, that the energy
consumption increases as the temperature decreases.
Switching off
Set the thermostat control to the "0" position.
Unplug the power supply plug from the wall socket.

fast-freezing again about 24 hours after placing the
