Temperature control
The unit is activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only
switched off completely when the plug is removed from the
wall socket.
The temperature in the cabinet can be adjusted by setting
the temperature control located at the rear.
1
means low cooling capacity and higher temperature in
the freezer box.
5
means high cooling capacity and low temperature in
the freezer box.
We recommend setting the control initially to position 3.
After a certain time, the actual temperature should then
be checked with a thermometer, and adjustments made if
necessary.
Note: The operating temperature in the freezer largely
depends on factors such as the ambient temperature and
that of the food to be newly frozen. It also depends on how
often the door is opened and how long it remains open. If
necessary, the temperature control setting may be adjusted
accordingly.
Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been
switched off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes before
it switches on again.
Freezer door
To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the
freezer door should be kept closed at all times. This will
also prevent an undue build-up of ice and frost. Ensure,
therefore, that the door is only opened briefly to place food
inside or to remove it.
Freezing and storing food
∙ The temperature inside freezer cabinet depends mainly
on the ambient temperature, the temperature control
setting and the amount of food stored.
∙ This freezer unit is designed for deep-freezing and long-
term storage of deep-frozen food, as well as for making
ice-cubes.
∙ Prior to freezing, fresh food (e.g. meat, fish, minced
meat) should be divided into smaller portions suitable for
use after defrosting).
