Freezer controls

Starting your appliance

Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (4)
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 bottom of the cabinet
(1).
To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control beyond the «O» 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 high tempera­ture and 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 numbers; to obtain a warmer
temperature turn the control to the lower numbers.

Thermometer

This indicates the internal temperature of the freezer.
It may indicate a temperature above -18°C when
large quantities of food are placed inside for freezing
or when the door is left open for a long time.

Blue = -18°C - -30°C
Beige = above -18°C (-17°C or -10°C for example)
Red = alarm (temperature above -9°C)

1 - Thermostat control knob
2 - Fast freeze switch

Before use
