User manual

Electrolux chest freezers can
be placed at -15°C but the
user should take care about
the thermostat setting if the
appliance is assembled with
mechanical thermostat:
• When the room
temperature is lower than
-10°C, the consumer
should turn the
thermostat into the
setting number 4 to reach
good storing temperature
in the chest freezer (less
or equal -18°C).
• If the thermostat setting is
number 1 and the
ambient temperature is
-15°C, the compressor
will be not switched on by
the thermostat so the
frozen foods will warm up
to the ambient
temperature (in this case
-15°C).
3.5 High temperature alarm
An increase in the temperature in the
freezer (for example due to an power
failure) is indicated by:
• switching on of the Alarm light
• sounding of buzzer
During the alarm phase, don't place food
inside the freezer.
When normal conditions are restored the
Alarm light will switch off automatically.
