• Wait 4 to 5 minutes before restarting the
chest freezer.
If the lid of your freezer does not open
again after closing, it has formed a vac-
uum inside. Wait for 1 to 2 minutes, and then
the lid can be easily opened again.

CAUTION
Health hazard!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
can then lead to an increase in temper-
ature inside the appliance.
■
Observe the specifi ed ambient tem-
perature (see “Intended use” on page
EN-4).
You can adjust the temperature in the chest
freezer with the thermostat control (4). Se-
lect a cooling capacity between “1” and “6”,
with the setting “6” being the coldest temper-
ature. The ideal temperature for the freezer
is –18 °C.
The freezer is designed for a specific ambi-
ent temperature (see “Intended use” on page
EN-4). The power consumption and the tem-
perature in the chest freezer can increase if
– the ambient temperature is exceeded or
goes too low,
– the lid of the chest freezer is opened often
or for too long.

1. Set the thermostat control (4) to the av-
erage cooling capacity “4”. This setting
is sufficient for normal ambient temper-
atures if you do not open the lid of the
freezer for long and always close it prop-
erly.
– Turn the thermostat towards “1” to re-
duce the cooling capacity.
– To set a lower temperature, turn the ther-
mostat control towards “6”.
2. Adjust the temperature in the freezer ac-
cording to the ambient temperature (e.g.
in summer towards “6”) and the amount of
stored food.
You ideally need a freezer thermom-
eter to be able to control the cooling
effi ciency. Put it in one of the freezer bas-
kets (2).
If you set a lower temperature, you will
need a higher cooling performance. This
increases the energy consumption.
Setting the thermostat control (4) to ‘OFF’
does not switch off the chest freezer. The
compressor will not work then, but the appli-
ance’s power will still be flowing.
