Operation and function
SZ chest freezers are equipped with either mechanical controls (fig. 4) or electronic controls
(fig. 5).
Mechanical controls
In addition to a thermostat knob, the control
panel contains two control lamps and a
button (fig. 4). Control panel design and
lamp position may vary.
The green lamp is lit when power is
correctly supplied.
The red lamp is lit when the temperature
inside the freezer is higher than the
thermostat setting.
The yellow lamp is lit when the Super
Freeze button has been pressed (see
Super Freeze).
Acoustic alarm (not all models)
An acoustic alarm is activated when the red
lamp is lit. The alarm is switched off when
the yellow button is activated.
Starting up
Connect the appliance to the socket outlet.
The green lamp lights up to indicate that
power is supplied. The red lamp on the
control panel will also light up to indicate
that the temperature inside the freezer is
not yet sufficiently low.

Temperature setting
The temperature is set by turning the
thermostat knob from MIN to MAX. It is
recommended that a coin be used to turn
the knob. The more the thermostat knob
is turned towards MAX, the lower the
temperature. To test whether the setting is
correct, measure the temperature of the
uppermost item in the centre of the freezer.
It must be no warmer than –18 °C.
Super Freeze
If more than 3 kg of fresh items are to be
frozen, proceed as follows:
1. Press the Super Freeze button (the
yellow lamp lights up). The freezer
then operates at maximum capacity
(the compressor runs continuously).
2. Activate Super Freeze 24 hours before
placing fresh items in the freezer.
3. After placing fresh items in the freezer,
leave Super Freeze on for a further 24
hours.
4. Then press the Super Freeze button
again (the yellow lamp goes off).
