Starting up and temperature regulation
Switch the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF switch (5).
Turn the thermostat control knob (6) in the direction of “1”.
The green light (4) and the red light (3) come on, the audible warning
sounds (if fitted), and the refrigeration motor starts up.
Additionally operate the fast-freeze switch (1).
The yellow pilot light (2) comes on, the audible warning switches off,
and the freezer motor runs continuously.
Only when the red light (3) has gone out should you reset the fast-
freeze switch (1). The yellow light (2) goes out and the audible warning
mode is activated again.
The temperature regulator (6) can be used to set the required storage
temperature, -18°C or colder.
Setting “1” means:
highest, warmest internal temperature
Setting “4” means:
lowest, coldest internal temperature
Recommended regulator setting:
1.5 to 2.
Important:
Regularly check on the red temperature pilot light (3) and
the thermometer that the required storage temperature is being main-
tained.
Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18°C or
colder before freezing food.
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food sever-
al days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to
3/4 of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best pre-
served when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as pos-
sible.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will
cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac-
turer.
