Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a
thermostat with different temperature positions and
one ÇOFFÈ (
■
) position.
Position ÇminÈ = minimum cold
Position ÇmaxÈ = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
¥ Room temperature
¥ How often the door is opened
¥ How much food is stored
¥ Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.

Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light
➂
lights up, it
indicates that the temperature within the freezer has
reached a level where safe food storage is no longer
ensured (warmer than -12¡C).
When the freezer is first switched on, the warning
light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to
a safe level for the storage of frozen food.
To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat
control towards ÇmaxÈ; to obtain a higher
temperature turn the control towards ÇminÈ.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.

fresh food.
