Temperature adjustment
Thermostat control knob
1 = Lowest setting, minimum cold
SUPER = Highest setting, maximum cold
Turning the thermostat control knob towards "SUPER"
reduces the temperature in the freezer and turning it
towards to the lower numbers will increase the
temperature. Use a small coin in the groove to make it
easier to turn the thermostat control knob.
Important: If you adjust the temperature control knob to a lower
temperature the motor may not start immediately, this is a normal and not a
fault with the appliance.
OPENING/CLOSING THE LID
After opening and closing the lid of your freezer you will not be able to open
the lid again immediately. This is because a vacuum will have developed
inside, keeping the lid closed until the pressures inside and outside the lid
have equalised. After a few minutes you can easly reopen the lid.
THE ROLE OF THE PRESSURE EQUALISATION VALVE
The pressure equalisation valve installed in freezer automaically eliminates
the pressure difference which would otherwise make it very difficult or even
impossible to open the lid.
It may be possible to hear the
operation of the valve as the air
flows in through the airing outlet in
the back wall of the cabinet.
For a safe operation, keep the two
openings of the valve free, do not
cover them!
