[. . . ] To ensure optimal and regular performance of your appliance please read this instruction manual carefully. It will enable you to navigate all processes perfectly and most efficiently. To refer to this manual any time you need to, we recommend you to keep it in a safe place. and please pass it to any future owner of the appliance. [. . . ] Operating light (green) Temperature regulator knob Fast feezing light (yellow) Fast feezing switch/reset sound alarm signal Fast feezing light (yellow) Alarm light (red) The temperature regulator (B) can be used for the variable setting of the storage temperature for your frozen food. The optimum storage conditions occur at -18°C and can be checked at the thermometer (fig. The green pilot lamp (A), which comes on switching the temperature regulatore to a number position, the refrigerating unit automatically operates by system control a sound is on only for 2 sec. The fast-freeze button (D) with its yellow pilot light (C). The yellow pilot light comes on when the switch (1) has been operated. the refrigerating unit then operates continuously. The red temperature warning light (E) blinks on when: ­ the appliance has been started up but the storage temperature has not yet been reached; ­ the minimum storage temperature is no longer being maintained (fault); ­ excessive amounts of fresh food are placed inside; or ­ if the appliance door is open for too long. The warning system comprises of an optical warning light (red) and an acoustic warning tone. The red warning blinks and the warning tone signal an alarm if the temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm. Temperature Warning The red warning light illuminates and the warning tone sounds if the temperature in the freezer compartment is warmer than -12°C. An increase in the temperature in the freezer compartment may be caused by - frequent or extended opening of the door; - storing large quantities of warm food; - a high ambient temperature; - a malfunction in the cooling system. The temperature in the freezer compartment must be ­18°C or colder before freezing food. The freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption. Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. During use and when the door is opened, moisture is deposited as frost inside the appliance, particularly on the evaporator. This frost must be removed from time to time using the soft plastic scraper supplied. Under no circumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose. The freezer should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has reached a thickness of approx.

This is normal, no error has The compressor starts after occurred. Important: regularly check on the red temperature pilot light and thermometer to establish that the storage temperature is being maintained. [. . . ]
