usage
The appliance features external controls. Check whether the thermostat is set on OFF. Check that the voltage in your home
corresponds with the voltage printed on the back of the appliance and plug it in a socket.
• Plug the appliance in.
• The indicator light POWER lights up indicating the freezer is connected to the power net.
• Set the temperature with the thermostat and choose a setting between 1 and 6. A
higher setting lets the appliance freeze more.
The appliance now freezes continuously until the set temperature has been reached.
Do not place anything in the appliance until the set temperature is reached. This
usually takes 2 or 3 hours. Then set the thermostat at the desired setting and place
food into the freezer.
• The indicator light RUN lights up when the compressor switches on to keep the temperature inside the freezer at the
selected setting. When the temperature is back to normal, the indicator light RUN automatically switches off.
• The indicator light ALARM lights up when the inside temperature is too high. Keep the lid closed during the time the
indicator light ALARM is lit. As soon as the appliance freezes again and the temperature is back to normal, the indicator
light ALARM switches off automatically.
Set the appliance on a higher setting when the ambient air temperature rises to maintain the temperature inside the
appliance.
To turn the appliance off, set the thermostat to OFF.
Opening and closing the lid
The lid is provided with a tight sealing. Therefore, it can be difficult to open the lid immediately after closing. A vacuum may
form. In that case wait a few minutes before opening the lid again.
Shelving basket
The freezer comes with a shelving basket. Hang the basket on the top edge in the freezer.
Note:
The ambient air temperature, how often the lid is opened and the position of the appliance can
affect the internal temperature. These factors must be taken into account when setting the
thermostat.
• Do not put hot food into the freezer.
• Never introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of
explosion.
• It is advisable to wrap meat and fish to avoid odours.
• The lid should not be left open any longer than necessary.
• Do not freeze too large an amount of food at one time; the faster the food is frozen, the longer is preserves its qualities.
• Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after purchase. Make sure that it doesn't defrost
during transport.
• Do not store glass bottles or containers with liquids in the freezer which will freeze. The freezing may cause the bottles to
break. Highly carbonated drinks can even explode. Never keep lemonade, fruit juice, beer, wine, champagne, etc. in the
freezer.

tips
• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the appliance in a position away from direct
sunlight or other sources of heat.
• Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to higher use of energy.
• Try not to open the lid too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the lid, mind to close it as
soon as possible.
• Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the circumstances allow it.
• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has cooled at least to room temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To
restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
• Always consider the instructions, otherwise the energyconsumption is substantially higher.
