Start your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light
(C) will light up to show that the appliance is on.
Temperature control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet (E). To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control beyond the «■» position. When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control to a medium 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 working in unfavourable room conditions such as poor ventilation, 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 towards max.; to obtain a higher temperature turn the control towards min.
Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light (D) 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 18 kg of fresh food.
When you first start the freezer, or after a period of
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast- freeze switch should be activated about 24 hours before freezing fresh food. 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 top compartments of the freezer as this is the coldest part.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the «OFF» position; the yellow light (B) goes out.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartment can be used for a further freezing operation.
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.
