increase it.
The medium settings are usually most suitable for home use.
We recommend using a thermometer to check the actual temperature inside the cabinet and make
adjustments as necessary.
Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5
minutes before it switches on again.
In position '0' , the cooling function is switched off, though the appliance is still connected to the
mains.

High-temperature alarm indicator (red)
This light comes on if the internal temperature raises above 9° C.
Freezer door
To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the door to the cabinet freezer should be
kept closed at all times. This will also prevent an undue build-up of ice and frost. Ensure, therefore,
that the door is only opened briefly to place food in the freezer or to remove it.
Freezing and storing food
–
The temperature inside the cabinet freezer depends mainly on the ambient temperature, the
temperature control setting and the amount of food stored.
–
The cabinet freezer is designed for deep-freezing and long-term storage of frozen food, and for
making ice cubes.
–
To take advantage of the cabinet's maximum capacity, the drawers may be removed.
–
The rapid-freeze drawers inside the freezer cabinet carry the symbol
–
To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are not lost, fresh food should be deep-
frozen right through as quickly as possible. To that effect, the prepared food should be placed
into the rapid-freeze drawers, properly spaced in one or two rows.
–
Avoid contact with food that has already been frozen.
–
Caution: Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity per day. The product data sheet at the
end of this manual contains details of the maximum daily freezing capacity.
–
Set the temperature control to rapid-freeze mode 'S' to accelerate the freezing process.
Caution:
The rapid-freeze mode does not switch of automatically but must be switched off manually.
While the rapid-freeze mode is active, the compressor remains on.
Note: To prevent damage to the compressor, the unit should not be left in rapid-freeze mode
continuously for more than three days.
–
To ensure sufficient distribution of cold air, keep a minimum distance of
2.5 cm between the vapouriser assembly and the tray containing the food
to be frozen.
