Operation
Requirements
You can use the chest freezer once
– you have read the ‘Safety’ chapter and un-
derstood the safety instructions (see page
EN-4).
– it has been set up and connected as de-
scribed in the “Start-up” chapter (see page
EN-10).
Operating displays
Power (7) illuminates as soon as power is
supplied to the chest freezer.
Run (8) illuminates when the compressor is
working.
Alarm (9) illuminates when the chest freezer
temperature rises above the set level during
normal operation,
– immediately after start-up, after defrosting
and cleaning.
– after a prolonged power failure.
– if you have stored a large amount of fresh
food.
As soon as the set temperature is reached,
the Alarm indicator turns off automatically.
If none of this happens, refer to “Troubleshoot-
ing table” on page 19 to correct the problem.

NOTICE
Improper handling of the appliance can
lead to damage to property.
■
The interior light must only be used
to illuminate the interior of the appli-
ance. It is not suitable for lighting a
room.
Switching on
1. Turn the thermostat control to the desired
cooling capacity.
The compressor starts to work after a
short time, the refrigerant flows through
the pipes and a quiet humming can be
heard. The Power (7), Run (8) and Alarm
(9) indicators are illuminated.
Once the chest freezer has reached the
set temperature, the compressor turns off.
The Run and Alarm indicators switch off.
2. If the chest freezer makes worrying nois-
es check the solid base and remove any
objects that are on top of the chest freez-
er.
Switch off / shutdown
If you do not want to use the empty freezer,
switch it off in the following way:
1. To switch off the freezer, turn the thermo-
stat control (4) to ‘OFF’ and pull out the
mains plug.
2. Remove the freezer baskets from the
chest freezer.
3. Clean the chest freezer (see “Cleaning
and maintenance” on page EN-19).
4. Leave the lid slightly open, so mould does
not form on the inside. You have now
switched off the chest freezer and it is no
longer in use.
If you only set the thermostat control
(4) to ‘OFF’, the compressor stops
working, meaning that the appliance does
not cool. However, the power will continue
to fl ow.
Switching on again
If the running operation has been interrupted,
the freezer can not be restarted immediately.
It is interrupted,
– if you set the thermostat control (4) to
“OFF”.
– if you unplug the mains plug from the sock-
et.
– in the event of a power failure.
