The thermostat knob is adjustable from 0 (stop) to 7 (coldest). Find the position of the thermostat which gives you the desired temperature. Start at position 4.

The refrigerator section

Never store hot foodstuffs in the cabinet and remember always to wrap up the foodstuffs. The evaporator of the refrigerator section is automatically defrosted. The defrost water is led to a tray on top of the compressor where it evaporates.

Temperature regulation:

The slide damper above the crisper bin makes it possible to regulate both the temperature and the humidity in the crisper bins.

lOpen slide damper reduces the tem- perature and the humidity.

lClosed slide damper increases the temperature and the humidity.

The freezing section

Operating panel. See fig. (1) page 7. Deep-freezing: Push the button (6). The yellow indicator will then glow. It stops glowing when the button is pushed anew.

When the quantity of foodstuffs to be frozen is larger than 3 kg the button for deep-freezing should be pushed about 24 hours before the desired freezing.

The button is pushed anew when the food- stuffs are frozen.

It is important that the deep-freezing takes place as quickly as possible. Therefore, the temperature of the foodstuffs should be no higher than room temperature.

Otherwise follow the advice given in hand- books on deep-freezing and the choice of packing material.

Place the foodstuffs so that they obtain maximum contact with the freezing shelf. Open the door only when necessary. The lamp of the alarm knob, fig. (1). page 7, indicates whether the acoustic alarm is on. If the lamp is lit the acoustic alarm will sound if the temperature is too high.

Please note that the water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment may result in a freezer-burn, and they should be allowed to warm slightly before consumption.

Defrosting

The foodstuffs cause frost to be formed. A thin layer of frost does not affect the performance of the freezer.

Loose frost may be removed carefully with a plastic or wooden scraper. Never use a knife or other sharp tools. When the layer of frost on the shelves is 5-10 mm the freezer should be defrosted.

Note: The layer of frost on the front edge of the top freezing shelf may grow slightly thicker.

Do like this:

Switch off the freezer.

Take out the foodstuffs and wrap them in newspaper, a blanket or similar and store them as cold as possible.

Place a bowl with hot but not boiling water in the freezer.
