freeze switch has been activated.
C. Temperature rise warning light (Red): this will light up
when the appliance detects a rise in temperature that
could aff ect the contents of your freezer.

Setting the thermostat
The thermostat control knob is located on the control panel
at the top of the freezer (fig.2-3).
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature
inside of the freezer, depending on what number you have
turned the thermostat control knob to:
•
Position [0] means that the freezer will not cool.
However, the power light will still function.
• Position [1] will give you a higher temperature inside of
the freezer.
• Position [4] will give you a lower temperature inside of
the freezer.
• Ideally the thermostat should be set to a position of
between [2] to [3].
• The freezer can cool to –18 °C and lower.
IMPortant: The ambient temperature of the room, the
temperature of the food and the amount of food that has
been placed in the appliance and how often the door is
opened, will all aff ect the temperature being maintained by
the appliance.
on the maximum setting (position [4]), the freezer will
work harder to maintain a lower temperature. there is no
need to run the appliance on this setting for long periods
and you should return the thermostat knob to between
[2] and [3].
During First Use
Switch on the appliance for the fi rst time, and set the
thermostat dial to maximum for 24 hours.
When you fi rst switch on the appliance, the compressor will
run continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the
freezer reaches a cool enough temperature.
note: During this time, try not to open the door frequently or
place a large amount of food within the appliance.
You should then adjust the thermostat dial down to its
normal operating position.
If the unit is switched off or unplugged, allow at least 5
minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or
connecting it to your mains supply.
