Starting your appliance

Warning light (red)

Insert the plug into the wall socket. The appliance can be activated/deactivated by pressing the ON/OFF button.When the pilot light ➂ is illuminated this shows that the appliance is on.

Temperature control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat ➀ situated at the bottom of the cabi- net .

To operate the freezer proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat control knob beyond the «■» position. When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control knob to a medi- um 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 work- ing 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 lower temperature, turn the thermostat control knob towards max.; to obtain a higher temper- ature turn the control knob towards min.

If the temperature warning light ➃ lights up, it indi- cates 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 warning 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 18 kg of fresh food.

Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast-freeze switch ➅ 24 hours before you want to freeze your fresh food, the yellow light ➄ illuminates. 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 this is the coldest part; if freezing only a small amount of food, always use the top compart- ment. Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) press the fast freeze switch to deactivate the fast freeze mode; the yellow light ➄ goes off.
