The
red remperature pilot light (6)
comes on when:
– the appliance has been started up but the storage temperature has not yet been attained;
– the minimum storage temperature is no longer being maintained (fault);
– excessive amounts of fresh food are placed inside; or
– if the appliance door is open for too long.

Starting up and temperature regulation
The temperature control knob can be used to set the required storage temperature, -18°C or colder.
Setting „
•
“ means:
Off.
Setting “1” means:
highest, warmest internal temperature
Setting “6” means:
lowest, coldest internal temperature
Recommended control knob setting:
“2”-“3”
.
Turn the temperature regulator (2) in the direction of “1”.
The green light (1) and the red light (6) come on, the audible warning sounds (if fitted), and the refriger-
ation motor starts up.
Additionally operate fast-freeze function by depressing the fast-freeze button (4) for more than one sec-
ond.
The amber pilot light (3) comes on, the audible warning switches itself off, and the refrigerator motor
runs continuously.
Only when the red light (6) has gone out should you reset the fast-freeze button (4) the amber light (3)
goes out and the audible warning is activated again.
If the fast-freeze function is not ended manually, the appliance electronics switch off the fast-freeze
function after 48 hours. The amber light (3) goes out.
Important note:
if you operate the fast-freeze button or adjust the temperature control knob, your
appliance’s refrigeration motor may not start immediately, but does after some time. This does not mean
that your appliance has a fault.
After adjusting the temperature, leave the appliance to set temperature and allow 24 hours for the tem-
perature to stablise before making further changes.
Important:
Regularly check on the red temperature pilot light (6) to ensure that the required storage
temperature is being maintained.

Ice pack
There is an ice pack in one drawer of the freezer.
Refer to the section “Prior to Initial Start–Up” concerning freezing of the ice pack.
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen the amount of time it takes for
the frozen food to defrost by several hours.
The ice pack can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above
the frozen food.
You can use the ice pack for cooling cold bags.
Audible temperature alarm
If your freezer is equipped with an audible temperature alarm (5), an acoustic warning sound simulta-
neously with illumination of the red temperature pilot lamp (6), alerting you to the fact that the storage
temperature in your freezer is too high or too warm. The audible warning sounds until the red tempera-
ture pilot lamp goes out or until the audible alarm is switched off by operation of the fast-freeze button.
The fast-freeze button can be switched off when the red lamp has gone out.
