Temperature setting
The temperature in the cabinet is adjustable within two ranges (from –12 ° C to –24 ° C
and from 1 ° C to 10 ° C), which enables you to store frozen food safely, to freeze non-
frozen food quickly, or to store food at temperatures above freezing point, if you want
to use the appliance as a refrigerator.
• To set the temperature, press the
(TEMP) button.
• With every press of the (TEMP) button, the temperature drops by one degree (from
–12 ° C down to –24 ° C) and increases by one degree (from 1 ° C up to 10 ° C):
–12 ° C
—
> –13 ° C
—
> ... –24 ° C
—
> 1 ° C
—
> 2 ° C
—
> ... 10 ° C
—
> –12 ° C ...
• The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to the coldest position
(–24°C / –11°F), unless you want to use the appliance as a refrigerator. Then, after
24 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that suits your needs.
Fast Freeze mode
When you add quantities of non-frozen food to the freezer compartment, we
recommend you use the
(SUPER) button for fast cooling down of the cabinet (fast
freeze).
• To set the temperature to the lowest temperature for fast freezing, press the
(SUPER) button. In the display window, the Fast Freeze indicator will illuminate
(in blue) and –24
° C (or –11 °F) will be displayed. The compressor will now work
continuously to cool the cabinet down to the lowest possible temperature.
• To exit Fast Freeze mode, press any other button.
NOTE: After 24 hours of continuous operation in Fast Freeze mode, the appliance
will automatically exit Fast Freeze mode.
Switching off
• To turn the freezer off, unplug the unit from the power supply.
