HOW TO USE

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is maintained in the freezer. Adjust the temperature by turning the button with a coin that fits the groove. Turning the thermostat button towards no. 7 makes the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the button towards no. 1 makes the temperature warmer. The correct setting can be found by measuring the temperature of the top package in the middle of the freezer. This should not have a temperature higher than -18°C.

CONTROL PANEL

The green light is illuminated as long as the freezer is connected.

The yellow light is illuminated when the “Super” button is depressed. See under “Freezing”.

The red light is illuminated when the temperature in the freezer is higher than the thermostat setting (alarm).

The red alarm light can be due to:

Insertion of a large amount of fresh food. The red alarm light will go out after a while.

Opening the lid too long. The red alarm light will go out after a while.

A defect in the system. See under “If something does not work”.

OPENING/CLOSING THE LID

The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to prevent moisture getting inside the freezer and increasing the amount of frost formed.

When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer becomes slightly warmer and expands.

As soon as the lid is closed again the air is cooled immediately.

This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard to open the lid immediately after it has been closed. This is quite normal.

Wait a few minutes until the vacuum has disappeared, then open the lid by pulling gently. Never pull the handle violently.

FREEZING

It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly, and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible in this connection.

If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:

Press the square “Super” button (yellow light comes on). The freezer will now run continuously, creating a sufficient reserve of the temperature required.

Press the “Super” button 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer, depending on how much food is to be frozen.

Place the food in the freezer and leave the “Super” button on for about 24 hours more.

Then press the “Super” button again (yellow light goes off). The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. If you forget to press the “Super” button again, the freezer will not be damaged by running at the “Super” setting for some time - but energy will be wasted.
