Winter setting
22
With low room temperatures
The freezer compartment may not get
cold enough if
the room temperature
is at 18 °C or below
because the low
ambient temperature in the room
causes the compressor to switch on
less frequently. This can cause frozen
food to thaw. The winter setting is de-
signed to prevent this happening.
To activate the winter setting
Press the winter setting rocker switch
to setting “1”.
The compressor will now switch on
more frequently, lowering the temperat-
ure in the freezer compartment to the
required level.
To deactivate the winter setting
If the
ambient room temperature is
warmer than 18 °C
, the winter setting
should be switched off. Otherwise the
appliance will use more energy than it
needs to.
Press the winter setting rocker switch
to setting “0”.
The appliance will continue running at
normal power.
Freezing food efficiently
For optimum results switch on the
winter setting on before putting fresh
food into the freezer compartment. This
helps food to freeze quickly and retain
its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and ap-
pearance.
Exceptions! This is not necessary:
– when placing food in the freezer that
is already frozen.
– when freezing up to 2 kg fresh food
daily.
Activate the winter setting
Activate the winter setting 24 hours be-
fore placing food to be frozen in the
freezer compartment.
Press the winter setting rocker switch
to setting “1”.
The temperature in the freezer compart-
ment will start to drop because the
compressor is switching on more fre-
quently.
Deactivate the winter setting
Switch the winter setting off about 24
hours after placing food in the freezer
compartment as it will be frozen.
Press the winter setting rocker switch
to setting “0”.
The appliance will continue running at
normal power.
