This freezer can be used to store already
frozen food and to freeze fresh food. The
appliance data plate indicates the amount of
fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours.
The freezer operates at ambient
temperatures between +10° C and +32° C.
Optimal performance is obtained at
temperatures between +16° C and +32° C.
Switching on the freezer for the first time
•
There is no need to set the freezer
temperature using the thermostat because
the appliance is factory set.
•
Plug in the appliance. The green power-on
indicator and the red temperature indicator
leds will both light up. In some models an
acoustic alarm (if supplied) will also sound
after approximately 1 minute to indicate that
the temperature inside the freezer is not yet
sufficiently low for food storage.
•
To silence the acoustic alarm switch the fast
freeze function on; the yellow indicator led
will light up.
•
Switch the fast freeze function off again once
the red led switches off.
Setting the thermostat
Set the freezer compartment temperature by
turning the knob:
1 = Minimum freezing power
4 = Maximum freezing power
Thermostat settings can vary depending on
ambient temperature, on how often the door is
opened, and on the amount of food to be frozen.
The recommended initial thermostat setting
is 2 - 3.
Function of leds and acoustic alarm (if
supplied)
The green led indicates that the appliance is on.
The red led (and in certain models the acoustic
alarm) indicates that the temperature inside the
appliance is not sufficiently low for storing food.
This occurs:
•
When the appliance is switched on for the
first time.
•
When switching on again after defrosting and
cleaning the compartment.
•
When too much food is put in to be frozen.
•
When the door is not properly shut.
•
When there is a fault in the cooling system
(see "Troubleshooting Guide").
•
When the thermostat is adjusted to a higher
setting (lower temperature).
The yellow led indicates that the fast freeze
function is in operation. When alight, it also
silences the acoustic alarm (if supplied).
HOW TO USE THE FREEZER
Freezers with door contact pin
The acoustic alarm sounds if the freezer door is
left open for more than 1 minute. The alarm stops
when the door is closed. If the freezer door
needs to be left open for more than 1 minute
(e.g. to rearrange food in the drawers) the alarm
can be silenced temporarily by pulling the pin
(see figure).
Selection of fast freeze function
To freeze the maximum amount of food possible,
press the fast freeze button 24 hours before
placing unfrozen food in the freezer. The
maximum recommended quantity of unfrozen
food is shown on the data plate inside the
appliance. When putting in food to be frozen, the
red indicator led may light up until the
temperature inside the compartment is
sufficiently low.
Once the 24 hours are up, switch the fast freeze
function off.
