the chest lid has been open for too long.
The red temperature warning light (4) and acoustic
temperature warning give no warning:
if the power supply is interrupted;
if the thermostat is defective.
Important: Check regularly on the red
temperature warning light and on a thermometer
placed inside whether the storage temperature is being
maintained.

The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is
maintained in the freezer. Adjust the temperature by turning
the button with a coin that fits the groove. Turning the
thermostat button towards no. MAX makes the temperature
in the freezer colder, and turning the button towards no.
MIN makes the temperature warmer. The correct setting
can be found by measuring the temperature of the top
package in the middle of the freezer. This should not have
a temperature higher than -18°C.
Freezing
To freeze fresh foods use the small freezing compartment
on the right of the dividing partition. This enables you to
separate already frozen foods from fresh foods. Always
make sure already frozen goods cannot defrost by coming
into contact with fresh products. If the freezing
compartment is too small you can freeze part of the
products in the large storage section on the left of the
dividing partition.
Attention!
Before freezing food the temperature in the freezer must be
-18 °C or colder.
Please observe the indicated freezing capacity on the
rating plate. The freezing capacity represents the
maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen
within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several days, one
after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the
capacity indicated on the rating plate.
Thawed foods which have not been
processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any
circumstances be frozen a second
time.
To freeze the maximum qantity of
fresh food quoted on the rating plate
press the QUICK FREEZE button 24
hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller
quantities. The amber fast freeze light illuminates.
The QUICK FREEZE button need not be pressed for
freezing small quantities of up to 3 kg.
All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so
that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so
that no transfer of flavour to other frozen goods
occurs.
Caution! Do not touch the frozen foods with wet hands.
Hands can freeze to the goods.
Place the packed food products into the freezer.
Ensure they come into contact with the side walls.
Unfrozen goods may not come into contact with
already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods
may start to thaw.
If more products have to be frozen, keep on the fast
freeze switch - otherwise switch the fast freeze
function off about 24 hours after inserting the food
products, for smaller quantities earlier.
Tips:
The following are suited for the packaging of frozen
goods:
freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
special cans for frozen goods;
extra-thick aluminium foil
The following are suitable for closing bags and foil:
plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tape.
Before closing press out the air from the bags and foil,
as air makes the frozen products dry out more easily
and wastes space.
Make flat packages, because these freeze more
quickly.
Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid
or paste-like goods, because liquids expand during
freezing.
