(not included with all models)
Some models have a digital temperature display integrated

in the handle of the lid. In normal operation, it shows the

temperature of the frozen products in centigrade (°C).

There are however the following exceptions:
- After switching on the freezer "- -" is shown briefly.
- If the temperature inside the freezer is higher than 0

°C, "+" appears. 

- If the storage temperature cannot be measured due to

a malfunction, "+" or "-36", appear and at the same time

the warning buzzer and the red warning light indicate

an alarm condition. (Also see section "Something Not

Working").

The temperature display indicates the temperature of

the frozen food and therefore changes relatively

slowly, if you put fresh goods in for example. If you leave the

lid open for a long time, the temperature warning may

respond, the temperature display may however remain

unchanged. In this case there is no malfunction. Press the

WARNING OFF button, to switch the warning buzzer off. The

red warning light goes out automatically after a short time.

TEMPERATURE WARNING

If the temperature in the freezer is too high, the warning

buzzer sounds and the red warning light flashes.
The warning buzzer and red warning light are triggered:
- if the storage temperature required has not yet been

reached when starting the freezer; if the storage

temperature is no longer maintained (malfunction);

- after inserting fresh foodstuffs in a greater quantity

than permitted by the freezing capacity (see section

on "Freezing";

- if the lid is left open too long.

You can switch off the warning buzzer with the

WARNING OFF button. The red warning light

continues to flash until it is sufficiently cold again

inside the freezer.

The warning buzzer and red warning light are not

triggered: 

- if the power supply is interrupted;
- if the electronic thermostat is faulty.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

A coin has to be used to turn the temperature control

knob. This makes it more difficult to inadvertently adjust

the temperature (child protection).
