Temperature setting buttons

The temperature is adjusted using the 
„+“ (WARMER) and „-“ (COLDER) buttons.

These buttons are connected to the temperature display.

• The temperature display is switched over from the display of the 

ACTUAL temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the dis-
play of the DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by 
pressing one of the two buttons, „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER).

• Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED tem-

perature is adjusted by 1 °C.

• If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically 

switches back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of 
the ACTUAL temperature. The ACTUAL temperature in the appliance is 
now adjusted to match the preset DESIRED temperature.

DESIRED temperature means:
The temperature that is required in the appliance. The DESIRED tempe-
rature is indicated by flashing numbers.

ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the temperature that is currently 
present in the appliance. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with 
illuminated numbers.

Once the FROSTMATIC function has been switched on the DESIRED 
temperature that was set originally cannot be changed.
