not start immediately, but does after some time. This does not mean
that your appliance has a fault. 
After adjusting the temperature, leave the appliance to set tempera-
ture and allow 24 hours for the temperature to sta

bi

lise before making

further changes.

1.

Turn the thermostat control knob to the desired setting with the aid of
a coin.

2.

The compressor starts and then runs automatically. The green pilot
light illuminates.

Important!

Wait until the freezer compartment has reached a temper-

ature of -18°C, or the red warning light has gone out, before storing
frozen food.

Warning 

S

ystem

The warning system comprises of an optical warning light (red) and an
acoustic warning tone. The red warning light and the warning tone
signal an alarm if the temperature in the freezer compartment is too
warm.

Temperature Warning

The red warning light blinks and the warning tone sounds if the tem-
perature in the freezer compartment is warmer than -12°C.
An increase in the temperature in the freezer compartment may be
caused by 
- frequent or extended opening of the door; 
- storing large quantities of warm food; 
- a high ambient temperature; 
- a malfunction in the cooling system.

1.

Switch off the warning tone by pressing the fast freeze button. The
yellow fast freeze light illuminates. The red warning light blinks until
the required temperature has been reached again.

2.

After the storage temperature has been reached, press the fast freeze
button again to switch off the fast freeze function. The yellow light
goes out.

Note: 

when the appliance is switched on for the first time, the warn-

ing light and the warning tone signal an alarm because the necessary
storage temperature in the freezer compartment has not yet been
reached.
