Starting up and temperature regulation
☞1. Turn the thermostat control knob (1) in the direction of “1”.
The green light (3) and the red light (4) come on, the audible warning
sounds (if fitted), and the refrigeration motor starts up.
2. Additionally operate the fast-freeze switch (6).
The yellow pilot light (5) comes on, the audible warning switches off,
and the freezer motor runs continuously.
3. Only when the red light (4) has gone out should you reset the fast-
freeze switch (6) the yellow light (5) goes out and the audible warning
is activated again.
The temperature regulator (1) can be used to set the required storage
temperature, -18°C or colder.
Setting “1” means:
highest, warmest internal temperature
Setting “4” means:
lowest, coldest internal temperature
Recommended regulator setting:
1.5 to 2.
Important: Regularly check on the red temperature pilot light (4) and
the thermometer that the required storage temperature is being main-
tained.
Ice packs
There are two ice packs in one drawer of the freezer.
Refer to the section “Prior to Initial Start–Up” concerning freezing of
the ice packs.
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice packs will
lengthen the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to defrost by
several hours.
The ice packs can only fulfil this task if they are placed in the upper-
most drawer, at the front, above the frozen food.
You can use the ice packs for cooling cold bags.
