Depending on the ambient temperature and the contents used, we recommend changing the setting to
4 or 5 (for more cooling) or setting 1 or 2 (if too cold). We recommend waiting one day after adjusting the
temperature to be able to correctly assess it.
·
The running time and temperature are affected by where the freezer is located, how often the door is
opened and the temperature of the room the freezer is located in.
·
When you use the appliance for the first time or after defrosting, adjust the control knob to the coldest
setting for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust to the desired
setting.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow
the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.
·
Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food. Also remove all mobile
parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the freezer to avoid any shock.
·
Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing
upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.
