adjust temperature to the level you require, between:

"1" (slight cooling) and

"7" (lowest temperature)

To switch off: Turn the control to the left

Temperature settings must be according to:

ambient temperature of the appliance

quantity of stored foodstuff

- frequency of opening

We recommend a medium setting.

You will soon learn which is the most suitable setting for

your requirements.

7 Start-up

1. Fully unpack the appliance.

2. Remove the polystyrene parts in the compressor

chamber (if supplied).

3. Remove documents and any accessories from the

inside of the appliance.

4. Clean the interior with a mixture of lukewarm water

and vinegar, and dry thoroughly with a cloth.

5. Close the appliance.

6. Insert the plug in the socket

7. Switch on the appliance by turning the temperature

control (FIG.4) to the right (For the time being, turn the

controller fully to the right to “7” position).

(green and red lights go on).

5 Indicator-lights (m,n,o) 8. If equipped with a FAST FREEZE SWITCH, turn it on

(yellow light goes on too).

If your appliance is equipped with indicator-lights, the

following guide explains what is meant by each light up:

- green = POWER

The appliance is under current

and operating

The green power light must always be on when the

appliance is connected to the mains and switched on. It is

very important to pay attention to this, because in the event

of a power failure, the red and yellow lights stop operating

and do no longer provide a warning.

- red = ALARM

Interior temperature too high

If the red indicator-light goes on, there may be several

reasons for this, namely:

• First start-up of appliance

• Restart after defrosting

• Filling freezer with fresh food

In these cases it is normal that the red indicator-light goes

on. It goes off automatically when the interior temperature

reaches approximately –18°C.

Switch on the FAST FREEZE SWITCH (if equipped with)

(FIG.4). (switch off again not more than 24 hours later or

when the red light has gone off).

Reopen the appliance, if possible, only after the red light

has gone off.

If the red control light nevertheless stays on after 12 to 24

hours, there may be serious problems.

Consult the Troubleshooting guide “ what is when...”

chapter 18

- yellow = FAST FREEZE SWITCH is on and the

thermostat function is disabled.

The compressor continues cooling until the FAST FREEZE

switch is turned off again.

6 Warning Buzzer (Acoustic alarm)

If your appliance is supplied with a buzzer, it will sound

when the red indicator-light goes on. The buzzer is silenced

automatically when you turn on the FAST FREEZER

SWITCH.

9. Do not open the appliance any more for about 4 hours

respectively as long as the red light is on, to allow the

temperature in the inner compartment to drop to the

necessary level.

10. You can now fill the appliance with any amount of

deep frozen food (purchased ready frozen goods).

(Consult the following chapter “Maximum stacking

height”).

11. Turn off the FAST FREEZE SWITCH again after 24

hours at the latest.

12. If you wish to freeze fresh, unfrozen food, go on to the

following chapter “Freezing/storage of fresh food”.

Important!

Do not store any bottles containing liquids. Liquid expands

when frozen and the bottle can explode. Never keep

containers with explosive substances (gas lighters, petrol,

ether and the like) in the freezer compartment of the

appliance.

When storing ready frozen food, you must observe the

manufacturer’s instructions on the food packaging.

Deep frozen ice-cream and ice lollies must be eaten only a

few minutes after being taken from the appliance to avoid

injury to lips and tongue (danger of skin detachment). For

the same reason, avoid touching

the inner walls with wet hands. We advise you to use

defrosted or slightly frozen products within short time. As a

rule, such products are not suitable for re-freezing.

8 Freezing / storage of fresh food

Almost all fresh products are suitable for freezing and

storage in the appliance.

For the most common of these products, we provide a table

with instructions on acceptable storage times and the most

suitable packing material (see “storage table” at the back of

this user manual).

Label the fresh products clearly as they are not easy to

identify when deep frozen in transparent freezer-bags.

We advise you to use commercially available labels for

frozen foods.

Pack fresh products in portions suitable for your household

to prevent defrosting of quantities that are too large for

consumption in one day in your household.

Label the portions with at least the following information:

• Product name (e.g. beef fillet)

• Weight of portion

• Quantity (total of pieces)

• Freezing date
