[. . . ] In order to switch on the product, turn the thermostat (B) to a temperature lower than << 1 >>. The green, yellow and red indicators will light up. The lighting up of the on/off indicator (A) means that the product is switched on. The yellow indicator lights continuously indicating an uninterrupted refrigeration for 5 hours (it can be switched off manually after 2 hours). The red indicator lights continuously indicating an improper temperature in the freezing compartment. As well as an intermittent sound can be heard, which can be stopped by pressing button (D) once. You can switch off the freezer by turning the thermostat (B) in position << >>. When the product is switched on for the first time, the quick freeze function will start automatically and will stop only 5 hours later. You can manually switch off this function any time by pressing the quick freeze (D) switch. In general, it is best to set the thermostat to << -18°C >> but, for the purpose of temperature setting, you should also consider the temperature of the room where the product is installed, the frequency of door openings, the volume of food to be stored in the product, the location of the product. Therefore, you should consider all these factors and you may have to do some testing for finding the best temperature. If you want a lower temperature, turn the thermostat into a position of higher number or, vice versa, if you need a higher temperature, you should set a position of lower number. If the frost or ice layer is too thick for removal with the spatula, defrosting will be necessary. The frequency of defrosting depends on the actual use. To defrost the product: Set the thermostat to position << >>. After removing them from the freezer, place the frozen foods in a basket padded with paper or cloth and kept in a cool place, or relocate them into the deep-freezing or cooling compartment of a normal fridge.
