Starting your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The appliance
can be activated by turning the thermostat knob ➁
beyond the Ò-16¡CÓ position. When the pilot light ➀
is illuminated this shows that the appliance is on.

fast freeze function will automatically
switch on. It will remain on for 5 hours and
automatically switch off at the end of this
time. This function can manually be
switched off at any time by pressing the
fast freeze button ➃.
Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a
thermostat with 5 temperature positions and one
ÇOFFÈ (●) position.
Position Ç-16¡CÈ = minimum cold
Position Ç-24¡CÈ = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
position.
An intermediate position (-18¡C) is usually the most
suitable, although the temperature will be affected
by:
¥Room temperature
¥ How often the door is opened
Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light ➅lights up, it
indicates that the temperature within the freezer has
reached a level where safe food storage is no longer
ensured (warmer than -12¡C).
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.

This appliance incorporates an alarm which gives off
an audible signal whenever the warning light comes
on. This signal can be temporarily stopped by
depressing the push button for fast-freezing ➃. The
