Start your appliance

Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (C)

Temperature control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by
the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet.
To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control beyond the Ç■È 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,
- 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.
