Freezer controls
Start your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light
➂
will light up to show that the appliance is on.
Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a
thermostat
➄
with 6 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum cold
Position 6 = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position 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 colder temperature, turn the thermostat
control to the higher numbers; to obtain a warmer
temperature turn the control to the lower numbers.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours
for the temperature to stablise before making further
changes.
For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.
Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light
➃
lights up, it
indicates that the temperature within the freezer has
reached a level where safe food storage is no longer
ensured.
When the freezer is first switched on, the warning
light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to
a safe level for the storage of frozen food.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 12 kg of
fresh food.
Activate the fast-freeze switch
➀
by sliding it to the
left (fast freeze position) 24 hours before you want to
freeze your fresh food, the yellow light
