Operation
Page EN-13
If you only set the thermostat control (3)
to “OFF”, the compressor stops work-
ing, meaning that the appliance does not
cool. However, the power will continue to
fl ow.
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.
■
Always ensure the prescribed ambi-
ent temperature is maintained (see
"Intended use" on page EN-4).
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 am-
bient temperature (see "Intended use" on
page EN-4). The power consumption and the
temperature 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.
The ideal temperature is –18 °C.

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
effi ciency. Put it in one of the freezer bas-
kets (2). If you set a lower temperature, you
will need a higher cooling performance. This
increases the energy consumption.
