Start your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light ➄ will light up to show that the appliance is on.
Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a thermostat ➀ with 6 temperature positions and one «OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum cold Position 6 = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable, although the temperature will be affected by:
•Room temperature
•How often the door is opened
•How much food is stored
•Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary.
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. When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilise before making further changes.
For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.

➃Warning light (red)

Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light ➃ lights up, it indicates that the temperature within the freezer has reached a level where 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 20 kg of fresh food.
Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast freeze switch ➁ 24 hours before you want to freeze your fresh food, the yellow light ➂ 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 appliance's two top compartments; if freezing only a small amount of food, use the top compartment. In the first compartment, products must only be stacked up to the mark on the cell so as to ensure that air circulation is not obstructed.
You should never freeze more than 20 Kg. of fresh food at anyone time.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze push button to the «OFF» position; the yellow light ➂ goes off.
