Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
position.
An intermediate position (-18¡C) is usually the most
suitable, although the temperature will be affected
by:
¥ Room temperature
¥ How often the door is opened

Warning light (red)

If the temperature warning light 

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.

¥ 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.

control knob to the higher numbers; to obtain a
higher temperature turn the control knob to the lower
numbers.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stabilise before making
further changes.
