Starting your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The appliance

ON/OFF button.When the pilot light
➂
is illuminated
this shows that the appliance is on.
Temperature control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by
the thermostat
➀
situated at the bottom of the cabi-
net .
To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control knob beyond the «
■
»
position. When you first start the freezer, we suggest
that you turn the thermostat control knob to a medi-
um setting. For easier turning of this control, use a
small coin. The internal temperature of the freezer is
automatically adjusted by the thermostat to ensure
safe food storage. However, if the appliance is work-
ing in unfavourable room conditions such as high
temperature and frequent door openings, it may be
necessary to select a more suitable setting.
To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat
control knob towards max.; to obtain a higher temper-
ature turn the control knob towards min.
Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light
➃
lights up, it indi-
cates that the temperature within the freezer has
reached a level where the safe food storage is no
longer ensured.
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.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 18 kg of
fresh food.
Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast-freeze
switch
➅
24 hours before you want to freeze your
fresh food, the yellow light
➄
illuminates. This time
can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food
to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the
food to be frozen in the two top compartments of the
freezer as this is the coldest part; if freezing only a
small amount of food, always use the top compart-
ment. Once the food is completely frozen (which
could take up to 24 hours) press the fast freeze
switch to deactivate the fast freeze mode; the yellow
light
➄
goes off.
