the storage temperature has not yet been reached (starting up).
the minimum storage temperature is no longer being maintained (fault).
large quantities of fresh food have been placed inside.
the chest lid has been open for too long.
The
red temperature warning light (4)
and
acoustic temperature
warning (5)
give no warning:
if the power supply is interrupted;
if the thermostat is defective.
Important
: Check regularly on the red temperature warning light and on
a thermometer placed inside whether the storage temperature is being
maintained.
Temperature regulation
The temperature inside the freezer is controlled by the thermostat control
knob situated on the control panel. To operate the freezer, proceed as
follows:
When you first start the freezer it is recommended that the thermostat
control knob is turned to a medium setting (3-4). The correct setting can
be found by measuring the temperature of the top middle package in the
freezer. The temperature must be 18°C
or colder.
1 = Lowest setting, minimum cold
7 = Highest setting, maximum cold.
Allow the freezer to run for several hours
before placing food inside.
Do not fill the freezer to higher than 5mm
below the lower edge of the plastic
frame.
A coin has to be used to turn the temperature control knob. This makes it
more difficult to inadvertently adjust the temperature (child protection).
Since the ambient temperature, type and quantity of stored frozen food,
and frequency and duration of lid opening affect the storage temperature
of -18 °C or colder, you should check the internal temperature on a
thermometer.
Set the temperature control knob so that the indicated temperature is
-18 °C or colder.
Important:
If you operate the fast freeze switch or adjust the temperature
control knob, it may happen that the refrigerating unit of your chest freezer
does not start immediately. This is normal and not a fault with the
appliance.
Interior Accessories
Storage baskets
To hang the storage baskets on the
plastic cover frame, insert the handles
into the storage baskets as shown in
the diagram.
When folding up (2), press the handles
carefully towards the basket.
To remove, press against the handle
from the inside (1), fold the handle
downwards (2) and remove (3).
You can also place the storage baskets in the freezer and stack them. To
do this, turn the baskets as shown in the diagram and place them on top
of each other. The handles are not needed to do this.
