The appliance, according to its climate category, is meant for use at certain room temperatures.
These temperatures should not be exceeded! The climate category for your particular appliance is marked on the rating plate. The categories are:
name of climate | suitable |
category | room temperatures |
SN | + 10U) to + 32U) |
N | + 16U) to + 32U) |
ST | + 18U) to + 38U) |
T | + 18U) to + 43U) |
4 Rating plate |

5 Connecting up your appliance to the mains
Your appliance must be connected only to a grounded power socket which complies to relevant standards and has been installed by an authorised specialist.
Before you plug in your appliance to the power socket, make absolutely sure that the voltage (V) and the safety fuse (A) for the main fuse box stated on the appliance's rating plate match your electrical supply, If these do not match, notify the nearest service department or your dealer immediately.
6 Using your appliance
Switching on / off and Selecting the Temperature
Temperature dial (Thermostat)
The temperature dial switches the appliance on and off and sets the cooling temperature.
To switch on:
Turn the temperature dial to the right.
The appliance has been switched on.
Instruction for use
The compressor is activated until the set temperature inside the appliance has been reached.
When setting the temperature for the freezer compartment,it is best to use a coin.
Temperature settings:
Turn dial left to lowest setting = slight cooling
Turn dial right to highest setting = lowest temperature The temperature must be set according to:
the room emperature
quantity of stored food
how often the appliance is opened
We recommend a medium setting. You will soon learn, through observation, which is the most suitable setting for your requirements.
Switching off: Turn the dial as far to the left as possible.
The compressor has been switched off
Pilot lights
If your appliance is equipped with pilot lights, they indicate the following:
green = CONTROL the appliance is connected to the electrical supply and is operating.
yellow = the SUPERFREEZE SWITCH is on and the thermostat has been deactivated. The compressor continues to refrigerate, until the SUPER FREEZER SWITCH is switched off again.
red = ALARM the temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm i.e. has gone up.
The green pilot light - when present - must always remain on when the appliance is connected up to the electrical supply and is switched on. It is very important to pay attention to this because in the event of a power failure, the red and yellow pilot lights stop operating and no longer provide a warning.
If the red pilot light comes on there may be several reasons for this, namely:
The freezer is being started up for the first time
It is being restarted after defrosting
The freezer has been refilled with fresh food
In these cases it is quite normal for the red pilot light to be on. It goes off automatically when the temperature inside reaches approximately - 18oC.
Switch on (if provided) the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH (switch off again no more than 24 hours later or when the red light goes off).
If possible, do not open the freezer compartment until the red light has gone off.
If the red pilot light continues to remain on after 12 to 24 hours, there may be a serious problem.
In this case consuit the chapter:
"What to do when..." (Troubleshooting guide) at the end of this user manual.
Warning buzzer
If your appliance is equipped with a buzzer, it will sound when the red pilot light goes on.
