Place the foodstuff inside only when the alarm is deactivated (for more details consult the enclosed product chart). • • • Temperature regulation For temperature regulation, consult the enclosed product chart. Note: Internal freezer temperatures are affected by room temperature, frequency of opening of the door and the position of the freezer. The thermostat setting must be changed depending on these factors.
