Setting the operating temperature

(Fig. 2)

The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.

Warm			Cold
1	2	3	4
(Or) Min. (-18 °C)			Max. (-24°C)

1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting)

4 = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting)

(Or)

Min. = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting)

Max. = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting)

Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature.

The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of foods kept inside.

Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise.

For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use.

The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower temperatures can be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards Position 4 (or Max.).

We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember to take the reading immediately since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.

Indicator lights

There are three coloured indicator lights located inside the appliance which show the operating mode of the freezer (Fig. 2).

Amber Indicator (1)

Illuminates when the fast-freeze switch (4) is turned on and stays on for maximum 34 hours or until the fast freeze button is turned off.

Fast-freeze operation is for freezing fresh food (see Freezing Fresh Food section).

Green Indicator (2)

Illuminates when the appliance is connected to the mains and will glow as long as there is electricity present. The green indicator does not give any indication of the temperature inside the freezer.

Red Indicator (3)

Illuminates

a. When the internal temperature rises above -5 °C. (The light turns off when the temperature cools down to - 9 °C)

b. If the appliance is overloaded with fresh food.

c. If the appliance door is left open accidentally. Note: Red indicator light has a built-in delay. Once the appliance is energized red indicator light will not illuminate for 24 hours.

Thermostat knob (5)

The thermostat knob is located on the indicator light frame.

Important:

When you press the fast-freeze switch or adjust the set temperature, there may be a short delay before the compressor starts to operate. This is normal and not a compressor fault.

-E0 blinks on display if there is a freezer sensor failure.

-E1 blinks on display if there is a defrost sensor failure.

-E4 blinks on display if there is a heater failure.
