Temperature adjustment

Thermostat control knob

1 = Lowest setting, minimum cold

SUPER = Highest setting, maximum cold

Turning the thermostat control knob towards "SUPER" reduces the temperature in the freezer and turning it towards to the lower numbers will increase the temperature. Use a small coin in the groove to make it easier to turn the thermostat control knob.

Important: If you adjust the temperature control knob to a lower temperature the motor may not start immediately, this is a normal and not a fault with the appliance.

OPENING/CLOSING THE LID

After opening and closing the lid of your freezer you will not be able to open the lid again immediately. This is because a vacuum will have developed inside, keeping the lid closed until the pressures inside and outside the lid have equalised. After a few minutes you can easly reopen the lid.

THE ROLE OF THE PRESSURE EQUALISATION VALVE

The pressure equalisation valve installed in freezer automaically eliminates the pressure difference which would otherwise make it very difficult or even impossible to open the lid.

It may be possible to hear the operation of the valve as the air flows in through the airing outlet in the back wall of the cabinet.

For a safe operation, keep the two openings of the valve free, do not cover them!
