4 Rating plate
The rating plate with the technical data is located on the side
of the appliance inner wall or outside, on the rear side of the
unit.
Take a note of the technical data
Copy here below the technical data from the rating plate so
that it is easily accessible without having to move the
appliance.

5 Connecting your appliance to the mains
Your appliance must be connected only to a grounded
power socket, which complies with relevant standards
and has been installed by an authorised specialist.
Before you plug in your appliance to the power socket,
make absolutely sure that the voltage (V) and the safety
fuse (A) for the main fuse box stated on the appliance’s
rating plate match your electrical supply. If these do not
match, notify the nearest service department or your
dealer immediately.
The appliance must not be connected up to an
inverse rectifier (e.g. solar panels).
6 Using your appliance
Switching on / off and selecting the Temperature
Temperature dial (Thermostat)
The temperature dial switches the appliance on and off and
sets the cooling temperature.
To switch on:
Turn the temperature dial to the right.
The appliance has been switched on.
The compressor is activated until the set temperature
inside the appliance has been reached.
In the case of
combined fridge / freezers,
which are
supplied with two compressors, you need to make sure, that
both temperature dials for the fridge compartment and for
the freezer, have been set.
When setting the temperature for the freezer compartment,
it is best to use a coin or a screwdriver, unless there is a dial
knob with handle available.
Temperature settings:
Turn dial left to lowest setting
= slight cooling
Turn dial right to highest setting
=
lowest temperature
The temperature must be set according to:
the appliance’s room temperature
quantity of stored food
how often the appliance is opened
We recommend a medium setting. You will soon learn,
through observation, which is the most suitable setting for
your requirements.
Switching off:
Turn the dial as far to the left as possible.
The compressor has been switched off
Pilot lights
If your appliance is equipped with pilot lights, they indicate
the following:
green =
CONTROL the appliance is connected to the
electrical supply
and is operating
.
yellow =
the
SUPERFREEZE SWITCH is on and the
thermostat has been deactivated. The compressor
continues to refrigerate, until the SUPER FREEZER
SWITCH is switched off again.
red =
ALARM
the
temperature
in
the
freezer
compartment is too warm i.e. has gone up.
The
green
pilot light - when present -
must always
remain
on
when the appliance is connected up to the electrical
supply and is switched on. It is very important to pay
attention to this because in the event of a power failure, the
red and yellow pilot lights stop operating and no longer
provide a warning.
If the red pilot light comes on
there may be several
reasons for this, namely:
The freezer compartment is being started up for the first
time
It is being restarted after defrosting
The freezer has been refilled with fresh food
In these cases, it is quite normal for the red pilot light to be
on. It goes off automatically when the temperature inside
reaches approximately - 18°C.
Switch on (if provided) the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH
(switch off again no more than 24 hours later or when the
red light goes off).
If possible, do not open the freezer compartment until the
red light has gone off.
If the red pilot light continues to remain on after 12 to 24
hours, there may be a serious problem.
In this case, consult the chapter:
„What to do when....“ (Troubleshooting guide) at the end of
this user manual.
Warning buzzer
If your appliance is equipped with a buzzer, it will sound
when the red pilot light goes on. This will be automatically
silenced, when you switch on the SUPER FREEZE
SWITCH.
7 Starting up the freezer
1. Switch on the freezer by turning the temperature dial to
the right (for the time being turn the dial fully to the right
to the maximum position)
(the green and red lights - if
provided - go on)
2. If equipped with a SUPER FREEZE SWITCH turn it on
(
the yellow light will also come on).
3. Do not open the door of the freezer compartment for
about 4 hours, or for as long as the red light is on, so
that the temperature in the freezer can drop to the
necessary level.
4. You can now fill the freezer with any amount of frozen
food (food which has been bought ready frozen). The
SUPER FREEZE SWITCH should be switched off again
after 24 hours at the latest.
5. If you want to freeze fresh, unfrozen food, consult the
chapter
“Freezing / Storing fresh food“
.
