Handling the appliance

Installation

Insert the plug into the socket. Press the on/off switch of the freezing compartment. The green on/off indicator will light continuously and the current temperature value will flash.

The flashing of the red alarm indicator and the acoustic alarm will warn you that the internal temperature is not yet sufficient for the conservation of food. To switch off the acoustic alarm and the temperature display flashing, press button "G". Do not put any food in the freezer until the internal temperature reaches -18 C or the red alarm indicator goes out.

Adjusting the temperature

Temperature controls

Temperature can be regulated with the use of the "+" (higher) and "-" (lower) buttons.

These buttons are interlinked with the temperature display.

Press either "+" or "-" to switch the temperature display from CURRENT temperature (continuous lighting ) to DESIRED temperature (flashing).

If neither button is pressed again, the temperature display will shortly (within approx. 5 seconds) return to CURRENT temperature.

DESIRED temperature:

It is the temperature to be achieved in the freezing compartment.

CURRENT temperature:

It is the actual temperature of the freezing compartment as shown on the temperature display. The CURRENT temperature is shown by a continuous light.

Temperature display

The temperature display is able to show various information:

GB

Under normal operating conditions it displays the actual temperature (CURRENT temperature) of the freezer.

At the time of setting the temperature, the temperature currently set will flash (DESIRED temperature).

QUICK FREEZE on/off switch

The quick freeze function ("FROSTMATIC") is used to achieve the quick freezing of fresh food and to prevent the already frozen goods from undesirable warming up. You can turn on the quick freeze function by pressing the quick freeze on/off switch. The yellow indicator will light up.

You can manually turn off the quick freeze function any time by pressing the quick freeze on/off switch again. The yellow indicator will go out. If not switched off manually, the quick freeze function will be automatically switched off 48 hours later. The yellow indicator will go out.

Temperature problem

Once the temperature of the freezing compartment rises above -12 C the red alarm indicator will light up and an acoustic alarm will be heard.

Possible causes of such temperature rise:

door opened too frequently or left open too long

large volume of hot food stored in the freezing compartment

product defect

You can stop the acoustic alarm by pressing the "Acoustic alarm off switch". Once the temperature of the freezing compartment reduces to a displayable value, the red alarm indicator and the acoustic alarm will automatically stop.

Note:

The acoustic alarm will stop:

when the quick freeze function is switched on (by pressing the "Quick freeze on/off switch")

Freezing

Prepare the various foods properly and then freeze them always in the freezing compartment.

The quick freeze function ("FROSTMATIC") is used to achieve the quick freezing of fresh food and to prevent the already frozen goods from undesirable warming up.

For using the quick freeze function, press the quick freeze on/off switch (J) for 2-3 seconds; in the case of small and great food volumes you should do it approx. 4 and 24 hours, respectively, before you want to freeze the fresh food.

The yellow indicator (H) will light up and the compressor will operate continuously until the product reaches the freezing temperature.

Once the food is completely frozen (it may take up to 24 hours) you can manually switch off the quick freeze function by pressing the switch (J) for 2-3 seconds. If not switched off manually, the quick freeze function will be automatically switched off 48 hours later. The yellow indicator (H) will also go out.
