5 Indicator-lights 

(m,n,o)

 
If your appliance is equipped with indicator-lights, the 
following guide explains what is meant by each light up: 

- 

green = 

CONTROL 

   The appliance is under current   
    and 

operating 

The 

green

 control light 

must always be on 

 when the 

appliance is connected to the mains and switched on. It is 
very important to pay attention to this, because in the event 
of a power failure, the red and yellow lights stop operating 
and do no longer provide a warning.

- 

- red = 

ALARM 

     Interior temperature too high 

If the red indicator-light goes on, there may be several 
reasons for this, namely: 
 

• 

First start-up of appliance  

• 

Restart after defrosting 

• 

Filling freezer with fresh food  

 
In these cases it is normal that the red indicator-light goes 
on. It goes off automatically when the interior temperature 
reaches approximately –18°C. 
 
Switch on the FAST FREEZE SWITCH (if equipped with) 

(FIG.4)

.

 (switch off again not more than 24 hours later or 

when the red light has gone off). 
 

Reopen the appliance, if possible, only after  the red light 
has gone off. 
 
If the red control light nevertheless stays on after 12 to 24 
hours, there may be serious problems. 

Consult the Troubleshooting guide “ what is when...” 
chapter 

18

- 

yellow =

 FAST FREEZE SWITCH is on and the 

        thermostat function is disabled. 

 
The compressor continues cooling until the FAST FREEZE 
switch is turned off again. 
 

6 Warning 

Buzzer

 (Acoustic alarm) 

 
If your appliance is supplied with a buzzer, it will sound 
when the red indicator-light goes on. The buzzer is silenced 
automatically when you turn on the FAST FREEZER 
SWITCH. 

7 Start-up 
 

1.  Fully unpack the appliance. 
2.  Remove the polystyrene parts in the compressor 

chamber (if supplied). 

3.  Remove documents and any accessories from the 

inside of the appliance. 

4.  Clean the interior with a mixture of lukewarm water 

and vinegar, and dry thoroughly with a cloth. 

5.  Close the appliance. 
6.  Insert the plug in the socket 
7.  Switch on the appliance by turning the temperature 

control 

(FIG.4)

 to the right (For the time being, turn the 

controller fully to the right to Max position). 

(green and red lights go on). 

8.  If equipped with a FAST FREEZE SWITCH, turn it on  

(

yellow light goes on too). 

9.  Do not open the appliance any more for about 4 hours 

respectively as long as the red light is on, to allow the 
temperature in the inner compartment to drop to the 
necessary level.                    

10. You can now fill the appliance with any amount of 

deep frozen food (purchased ready frozen goods). 
(Consult the following chapter “Maximum stacking 
height”). 

11.  Turn off the FAST FREEZE SWITCH again after 24 

hours at the latest. 

12.  If you wish to freeze fresh, unfrozen food, go on to the 

following chapter “

Freezing/storage of fresh food”.

Important! 

Do not store any bottles containing liquids. Liquid expands 
when frozen and the bottle can explode. Never keep 
containers with explosive substances (gas lighters, petrol, 
ether and the like) in the freezer compartment of the 
appliance. 
When storing ready frozen food, you must observe the 
manufacturer’s instructions on the food packaging.  
 
Deep frozen ice-cream and ice lollies must be eaten only a 
few minutes after being taken from the appliance to avoid 
injury to lips and tongue (danger of skin detachment). For 
the same reason, avoid touching  
the inner walls with wet hands. We advise you to use 
defrosted or slightly frozen products within short time. As a 
rule, such products are not suitable for re-freezing.

Freezing / storage of fresh food 

 
Almost all fresh products are suitable for freezing and 
storage in the appliance.  
For the most common of these products, we provide a table 
with instructions on acceptable storage times and the most 
suitable packing material (see 

“storage table”

 at the back of 

this user manual). 

Label

 the fresh products clearly as they are not easy to 

identify when deep frozen in transparent freezer-bags. 
We advise you to use commercially available labels for 
frozen foods.  
 
Pack fresh products in portions suitable for your household 
to prevent defrosting of quantities that are too large for 
consumption in one day in your household. 
Label the portions with at least the following information: 

• 

Product name (e.g. beef fillet) 

• 

Weight of portion 

• 

Quantity (

total of pieces)

• 

Freezing date
