Once set, the temperature display shows the current temperature inside the freezer.
Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the temperature setting is changed. This will allow
the temperature to stabilise inside the cabinet.
It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the cabinet is switched on after it has been out of use. The
electronics recalls the previously set temperature.
Temperature inside the freezer
To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C or
below. Please note, however, that the energy consumption increases as the temperature decreases.
The built-in temperature display shows the warmest temperature inside the freezer. If the temperature is
measured using a thermometer, put it between the products since this will reflect the real temperature in the
frozen products. It is normal that the built-in temperature display shows a temperature slightly above that
measured in other ways.
Switching off
Switch off the cabinet by pressing the power switch.
Keep the button pressed for approx. 1 second.
Power to the cabinet is completely
interrupted only when the power plug is
disconnected.
Alarms and other features
Door open alarm
If the door remains open for more than about 1,5
minute, the red indicator lamp starts flashing and an
audible alarm sounds.
To switch off the alarm:
Press the alarm shut-off button. As long as the door
remains open, the audible alarm will sound anew at
1-minute intervals. The red indicator lamp goes out
when the door is closed.
Temperature alarm
If the temperature rises above -12°C, the red warning
lamp flashes and an audible alarm sounds. The
temperature display will then start to flash.
To switch off the alarm:
Press the alarm shut-off button to switch off the
audible alarm. The temperature display will stop
flashing.
The red warning lamp goes out when the
temperature inside the freezer again falls below
-11°C.
Find out what caused the alarm. See the chapter
"Something not working".
Temperature memory
The temperature memory shows when an alarm has
been triggered in the cabinet.
The temperature memory operates as follows:
When the temperature inside the freezer again falls
below -11°C the audible alarm stops. The
temperature display and the red warning lamp will
flash to indicate than an alarm was triggered. When
the alarm shut-off button is pressed, the display then
displays the warmest temperature inside the cabinet
during the alarm phase and the display stops
flashing. By referring to the temperature display
indication, it is possible to decide whether or not to
discard the products inside the freezer.
