If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the freezer
is not very full
and
for approx. 24
hours if the freezer is full
before
checking the temperature display as it
will take this long for the display to
show the accurate temperature of the
freezer. If the temperature displayed is
too low or too high, then adjust the
temperature once more.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from
-14 °C to
-28 °C.
The ambient temperature of the room
and installation location can affect the
time it takes to reach the lowest
temperature. If the ambient temperature
is too high, then the appliance may not
be able to reach the lowest
temperature.
Temperature display
During normal operation the
temperature display on the control
panel shows the temperature in the
warmest part of the freezer.
If the temperature in the appliance is
not within the range that the machine is
able to display, i.e. if it is above 0 °C,
then only a bar will light up in the
temperature display.
The
temperature display flashes
, if
– a different temperature is being set,
– the temperature in the appliance has
risen by several degrees, indicating
that the appliance is warming up too
much.
This loss of coldness is no cause for
concern in the following circumstances:
– when the door has been left open for
a while, e.g. for removing or storing a
large amount of food,
– freezing fresh food.
However, if the temperature remains
above -18 °C for a long time, check that
the frozen food has not started to
defrost. Check that it is safe to use and
if it is, then use it as soon as possible.
Temperature display brightness
The appliance is supplied with the
brightness of the temperature display
set as low as possible. However, if the
door is opened, a setting changed or if
the alarm is sounding, the temperature
display will come on much brighter for
approx. 1 minute.
The level of brightness can be adjusted
to be:
–
Brighter:
by pressing the alarm
button, and whilst holding it in press
the upper button next to the
temperature display.
–
Dimmer:
by pressing the alarm
button, and whilst holding it in press
the lower button next to the
temperature display.
