Operation Control
The freezer is controlled with two switches and
thermostat knob incorporated in the interior of the
freezer.
Control panel
1 ON/OFF switch
2 Red control light
3 Operation mode selection switch
ON/OFF Switch
The appliance is switched on - the green light is
on.
The appliance is switched off - the green light is
off.
Operation Mode Selection Switch
This switch is used to select one of the two
operation modes: continuous and automatic.
Continuous operation - the yellow
light is on.
The cooling system operates continuously. This
mode is selected when you want to freeze large
amounts of fresh foods and in case you want to
deep freeze already frozen foods.
Automatic operation - the yellow
light is off.
The interior temperature is controlled by the
thermostat which turns the cooling system on and
off.
The frequency of switching the cooling system on
and off depends on:
− the thermostat knob position (thermostat
setting),
− how often you open the door; and
− ambient temperature.
Temperature Selection
When the freezer operates automatically, the
interior temperature is controlled by the
thermostat.
The most suitable thermostat position is in the
middle between
max and min.
We recommend setting the thermostat on
positions towards
max only in case you want to
accelerate cooling, as for example before loading
smaller amounts of fresh foods or when the
operation mode shall correspond to the ambient
temperature.
Thermostat settings towards
min help you save
energy provided that the freezer is loaded with
smaller amount of frozen foods.
Changes of the ambient temperature affects
temperature in the interior of the appliance.
Choose correct setting of the thermostat knob.
Red Control Light
The red light is on when there is something wrong
with the temperature in the freezer (See Trouble
Shooting Guide).
External Temperature Meter
The meter shows approximate temperature in the
interior of the freezer. The most convenient
temperature for long term storing of frozen foods
is -18°C or colder. Optimum storage conditions
depend on the thermostat setting, ambient
temperature, how loaded the appliance is and
how often you open the door.
Don't forget, temperature changes are noted on
the meter some 48 hours after the thermostat
position was changed.
