Electrical connection
Operation and function
Mechanical controls
In addition to a thermostat knob, the control
panel contains two control lamps and a but-
ton (fig. 4). Control panel design and lamp
position may vary.
The green lamp is lit when power is cor-
rectly supplied.
The yellow lamp is lit when the Super
Freeze button has been pressed (see Super
Freeze).
Starting up
Connect the appliance to the socket outlet.
The green lamp lights up to indicate that
power is supplied. The red lamp on the con-
trol panel will also light up to indicate that
the temperature inside the freezer is not yet
sufficiently low.
Temperature setting
The temperature is set by turning the
thermostat knob from MIN to MAX. It is
recommended that a coin be used to turn
the knob. The more the thermostat knob is
turned towards MAX, the lower the tempera-
ture. To test whether the setting is correct,
measure the temperature of the uppermost
item in the centre of the freezer.
It must be no warmer than –18 °C.
Super Freeze
If more than 3 kg of fresh items are to be
frozen, proceed as follows:
1. Press the Super Freeze button (the
yellow lamp lights up). The freezer then
operates at maximum capacity (the com-
pressor runs continuously).
2. Activate Super Freeze 24 hours before
placing fresh items in the freezer.
3. After placing fresh items in the freezer,
leave Super Freeze on for a further 24
hours.
4. Then press the Super Freeze button
again (the yellow lamp goes off).
Acoustic alarm
When plugging in the unit an acoustic alarm
will activate. Push the yellow button to
deactivate the alarm. Notice that the alarm
must be activated again after 24 hours by
pushing the yellow button.
