When you place fresh food in the appliance, turn the
fast freeze knob to “S”.

When you first start the freezer we suggest that you
turn the thermostat to a medium setting by using a
coin that fits the groove.

C. Operation light
The operation light is illuminated continuously, to
show that the appliance is on.
D. Fast freeze light
The fast freeze light is illuminated, to show that the

E. Alarm light
If the alarm light (E) lights up, it indicates 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 alarm light
will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a
safe level for the storage of frozen food.
Temperature control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by
the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet.
To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control beyond the «
■
» position.
When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you
turn the thermostat control to a medium 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 working in unfavourable
room conditions such as
- poor
ventilation,
-
high temperature,
-
frequent door openings,
it may be necessary to select a more suitable
setting.
To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat
control towards “6”; to obtain a higher temperature
turn the control towards “1”.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 22 kg of
fresh food.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of
non-use, turn the fast freeze knob to «S» 24 hours
before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light
(D) lights up).
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze
knob should be activated about 2-3 hours before
freezing fresh food.
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 these are the coldest
parts.
