Switching on again
If the running operation has been interrupted,
the freezer can not be restarted immediately.
It is interrupted,
– if you set the thermostat control (4) to “OFF”.
– if you unplug the mains plug from the socket.
– in the event of a power failure.
• Wait 4 to 5 minutes before restarting the
chest freezer.
If the lid of your freezer does not open
again after closing, it has formed a vac-
uum inside. Wait for 1 to 2 minutes, and then
the lid can be easily opened again.
Thermostat control
CAUTION
Health hazard!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
can then lead to an increase in temper-
ature inside the appliance.
■
Abide by the specifi ed ambient tem-
perature (see “Climate category” on
page GB-23).
You can adjust the temperature in the chest
freezer with the thermostat control (4). Select
a cooling capacity between “1” and “6”, with
the setting “6” being the coldest temperature.
The freezer is designed for a specific ambient
temperature (see “Climate category on page
GB-23). The power consumption and the tem-
perature in the chest freezer can increase if
– the ambient temperature is exceeded or
goes too low,
– the lid of the chest freezer is opened often
or for too long.

1. Set the thermostat control (4) to the av-
erage cooling capacity “4”. This setting
is sufficient for normal ambient temper-
atures if you do not open the lid of the
freezer for long and always close it prop-
erly.
– Turn the thermostat towards “1” to re-
duce the cooling capacity.
– To set a lower temperature turn the ther-
mostat towards “6”.
2. Adjust the temperature in the freezer ac-
cording to the ambient temperature (e.g.
in summer towards “6”) and the amount of
stored food.
You ideally need a freezer thermom-
eter to be able to control the cooling
ef
fi
ciency. Put it in one of the freezer bas-
kets (2). The ideal temperature is -18° C. If
you set the thermostat control (4) to “OFF”,
the chest freezer is not switched off. The
compressor will not work then, but the appli-
ance’s power will still be
fl
owing.
