Starting your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The appliance
can be activated by turning the thermostat knob
➁
beyond the “-16°C” position. When the pilot light
➀
is illuminated this shows that the appliance is on.
The freezer is switched off by turning knob
➁
to
position « ● ».
Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a
thermostat with 5 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (
● ) position.
Position «-16°C» = minimum cold
Position «-24°C» = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position (-18°C) is usually the most
suitable, although the temperature will be affected by:
l Room temperature
l How often the door is opened
l How much food is stored
l Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat
control to the higher numbers; to obtain a higher tem-
perature turn the control to the lower numbers.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 9 kg of
fresh food.
Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast freeze but-
ton
➃
- for more than one second - 24 hours before
you want to freeze your fresh food, the yellow light
➂
illuminates. This time can be shortened depending on
the quantity of food to be frozen.
After the time has
elapsed place the food to be frozen in the bottom
drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part.
The maximum amount of food which can be frozen in
24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be
found on the bottom left-hand side.
You should never freeze all at once a greater
quantity of foods than the maximum indicated on
the appliance’s rating plate.
