Operation and control elements
* Depending on model and options
Switching the appliance on and off
W Switching on: Press the on/off button 3 so that the
temperature display lights up/flashes.
- When the appliance is switched on for the first time and
while it is still warm, the display will contain dashes until
the temperature falls below 0°C.
- The Lighting* will light up when the door is open.
W Switching off: Press the on/off button for approx. two
seconds so that the temperature display goes out.
Setting the temperature
The appliance is pre-set for normal operation. We recom-
mend a temperature of -18°C.
W To reduce the temperature:
Press the DOWN button 2.
W To increase the temperature:
Press the UP button 2.
- While you are entering the temperature, the set tempera-
ture will flash on the display.
- When you press the temperature setting buttons for the
first time, the most recent setting (known as the "refer-
ence setting") is displayed.
- You can change the settings in increments of 1°C by
briefly pressing the buttons again. If the buttons are held
down the temperature setting will change faster.
- The electronic controls will switch over automatically
about 5 seconds after the last time you pressed the but-
ton, and the actual temperature in the freezer (known as
the "actual setting") will be displayed.
- The temperature can be set at between -14°C and -28°C.
Whether you can obtain the lowest temperature depends
on where the appliance is positioned (if it is located in an
area with a high ambient temperature it will not reach the
lowest temperature).
Temperature display
The highest temperature of the frozen food 1 is displayed
in normal operating mode.
The display will flash:
- if you change the temperature or
- if the temperature rises by several degrees, indicating
cold loss, e.g. if you place fresh, "warm" food in the
freezer or if you remove or re-pack frozen food the tem-
perature may rise for a short time due to warm air flow-
ing into the freezer. Once you have finished loading or
re-packing, the electronics will automatically re-set the
temperature to the most recent setting. Short-term rises
in temperature will not affect the frozen food.
W If "F 1" to "F 5" appears in the display, the appliance
has a fault. Consult the customer service department
indicat-ing the fault number displayed as this will tell the
techni-cian what kind of irregularity has occurred.
Audible warning signal
The audible warning signal helps to protect frozen food
and to save energy.
W The audible warning device is switched off by pressing
the audible warning button 5.
- It switches off automatically as soon as the temperature
is low enough or the door is closed.
Audible door alarm
- This sounds when the door has been left open for longer
than about 60 seconds. The sound switch-off function is
active as long as the door is left open. The alarm auto-
matically switches back to standby when the door is
shut.
Audible/visual temperature alarm
- It always sounds if the freezer temperature is not low
enough (dependent on the temperature setting).
- The temperature display flashes at the same time.
This can be caused by:
- warm, fresh food being placed in the freezer,
- too much warm air from the outside entering when re-ar-
ranging or removing frozen food.
The temperature display will continue to flash until the cause
of the alarm has been rectified. It will then stop flashing
and light up continually. The audible warning signal is now
automatically reset.
Power failure/FrostControl display
If appears in the display, this means that the
freezer temperature has risen too high during the
last few hours or days due to a power failure.
W If you press the audible warning on/off button 5
whilst the display is reading , the highest temperature
regis-tered during the power failure will be displayed.
- Check the quality of the food and its suitability for con-
sumption in case it has become too warm or even de-
frosted.
- The highest temperature will appear for approx.
1 minute. After that, the actual temperature in the freezer
will re-appear. The display can be switched off by press-
ing the audible warning on/off button.
Once the power is re-instated, the appliance will continue to
operate at the most recent temperature setting.
