temperature regulation.
When operating the appliance for the first time,
set the appliance at a colder temperature and
run it without loading any food until it auto
stops at the set temperature. Usually it takes
2 or 3 hours, then set a desired temperature and
put food in the appliance.
Switching off
To disconnect the appliance from the power
supply, disconnect the mains plug from the
power socket. The display on the control panel
turns off.

operation occurs for 30 seconds, the control

Adjust the temperature setting by keeping in
mind that the temperature inside the appliance
depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance
Important! If the ambient temperature is
high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the
appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it
may run continuously causing frost to form on
the rear wall. In this case a higher temperature
must be set to allow automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy consumption.

for three seconds to activate the function.
