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 (3) to
“OFF”.
– if you unplug the mains plug from the sock-
et.
– 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.
■
Observe the specifi ed ambient tem-
perature (see “Climate category” on
page EN-25).
You can adjust the temperature in the chest
freezer with the thermostat control. Select a
cooling capacity between “1’”and “6”. “1” is
the highest temperature, whereas “6” is the
lowest.
The freezer is designed for a specific ambient
temperature (see “Climate category on page
EN-25). 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 (3) 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.
– To set a higher temperature, turn the
thermostat control towards “1”.
– To set a lower temperature, turn the ther-
mostat control 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
capacity. Put it in one of the freezer baskets
(2). The ideal temperature is -18°C.
Setting the thermostat control (3) to “OFF”
does not switch off the chest freezer. The
compressor will not work then, but the appli-
ance’s power will still be fl owing.
