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. „MAX” 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.

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.

PACKAGING AND POSITIONING

Food must be cold before freezing (no

more than room temperature).
Food must be packed in airtight and

moisture-proof packaging to prevent it

from drying out.
Place fresh food for freezing close to

the cold sides of the freezer, making

sure that it is not in contact with the

frozen food already in the freezer.
Never fill the freezer to more than 

5 mm below the top edge.
