thermostat setting.Once the freezer has returned
to normal temperature and the red warning light
is off, press the “Super” button again (yellow light
goes off). The alarm can be due to:

•

Insertion of a large amount of fresh food. The
alarm will stop after a while.

•

Opening the lid too long. The alarm will stop
after a while.

•

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

Temperature regulation

(Fig. 7.)

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 ,,7” makes the temperature in the
freezer colder, and turning the button towards ,,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.

Energy-saving during
Half-or part-loading

When your chest freezer is half- or even less
loaded, you can save energy if you store your
frozen food in the lower area - not higher than
the green stacking mark on the separating wall
(Fig. 6).

Turn the temperature controller in the green
storage area (Fig. 5) and monitor the storage
temperature with a thermometer placed on the
frozen food. The minimum storage temperature
should be -18 °C. When storing frozen food above
the green stacking mark, please never forget to
reset the temperature controller to a colder
setting; settings 3 to 7.

Maximum loading/
filling mark

Please note that you should store frozen food
only as far as the lower edge of the plastic cover
frame (figure 8/arrow).

Freezing fresh food

Your freezer can be used for storage of frozen
food and for freezing of fresh food.
Before filling the freezer for the first time with
frozen food (deep-frozen food); the optimum
storage temperature of -18 °C must have been
attained at the filling mark.
If you intend to freeze food yourself, switch on
the fast freeze button 4 to 24 hours beforehand
(according to quantity).
Freeze only sound fresh food.
Please make sure that as far as possible
airtight packaged food has good contact with
the side refrigerating panels during freezing.
In this manner, the food will freeze right through
more quickly.
After around 24 hours (or less for smaller
quantity), the fast freeze switch can be switched
off.
If you intend. to freeze more food, retain the fast
freeze setting.
Only place the food in the baskets after freezing
is completed!

It is particularly important to keep the freshly
inserted food separate from the already frozen
food.

For this reason, we recommend using the small
freezing compartment on the internal right-hand
side for freezing purposes. Only when freezing
larger quantities (e: g. a quantity corresponding
to the daily freezing capacity) must you freeze
part of the food having proper contact with the
side walls in the large freezing compartment.

The daily freezing capacity of your chest freezer
is shown on the rating plate. This quantity should
not be exceeded. If freezing is carried out every
day, it is advisable to reduce this maximum figure
to obtain improved frozen food quality. That is to
say, if you want to carry out freezing .on several
consecutive days, only utilize 2/3 to 3/4 of the
maximum capacity.

Hint for test centres

Filling plans for determination of freezing capacity
and warm-up time according to DIN Standard
conditions may be ordered direct from the
manufacturer.
