Temperature inside the freezer
To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be
sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C
or below. Please note, however, that the energy
consumption increases as the temperature decreases.
The built-in temperature display shows the warmest
temperature inside the freezer. If the temperature is
measured using a thermometer, put it between the
products since this will reflect the real temperature
in the frozen products. It is normal that the built-in
temperature display shows a temperature slightly
above that measured in other ways.
Switching off

position to "
H

Unplug the power supply plug from the wall socket
or, alternatively, remove the fuse.
Alarms and other features

Freezing
You need not press the fast-freezing button when
freezing smaller quantities of food during any
24-hour period.
In all other cases, press the fast-freezing button
approx. 24 hours prior to placing the food in the
freezer.
Press the fast-freezing button to switch off
fast-freezing again about 24 hours after placing the
food in the freezer.
The yellow fast-freezing lamp remains lit as long as
the fast-freezing button is engaged.
Practical advice on freezing
·
When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if
necessary the shelf beneath that.
·
When freezing large amounts of food/provisions,
the accumulator moves to the tray/space nearest
to the
l
ower freezing shelf.
·
Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves.
·
Spread out the products as much as possible to
allow air to circulate between them.
·
Do not place food products which are to be
frozen directly against other frozen food.
The heat from the unfrozen food may cause
the frozen food to thaw on the surface.
·
Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put
them as close as possible to each other.
The food will then stay cold longer in the
event of a power failure.
