• Connect the appliance to the power supply.
• Operate the temperature control. See also the
following section "Settings".

The power levels [1 – 5] regulates the different val-
ues of the internal temperature. Turning the tempera-
ture control clockwise will lower the inside tempera-
ture.

During initial operation, turn the temperature control
to the highest setting first, until the appliance has
reached the desired operating temperature. After-
wards it is recommended to turn the control back to a
medium setting; correcting the temperature at a later
point would then be easier.

To guarantee that the temperature is low enough,
you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before
initial loading foods.
CAUTION: CAUTION:
CAUTION: CAUTION:
• Always pay attention to the storage instructions
on the sales packaging.
• Make sure that the operating temperature does
not rise above -18°C. For this, the unit should be
defrosted regularly. A thick frozen layer deterio-
rates the cooling and increases the energy con-
sumption.

The freezer allows you to store frozen food at
a temperature of -18°C or colder for several months;
to produce ice cubes and to freeze fresh food. Due to
external influences such as ambient temperature,
site, frequency of door opening and the amount of
food, the temperature can affect the appliance.

• 24 hours before freezing we recommend turning
the temperature control to the highest power level
and to keep this setting even after freezing for a
few hours. The appliance is not compromised if
the setting will not revert to a normal operating
temperature after the freezing process, but for
economic reasons you should possibly avoid it.
• Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to
the core. Therefore during freezing operation, the
temperature of fresh food should be lowered as
fast as possible in order to keep formation of ice
crystals as little as possible and not to damage
the food structure.
• Frozen food should be kept in contact with the
bottom of the compartment.
• Keep a space between the individual items, so
that the cold air can circulate.

• Packed frozen merchandise should be stored in a
4-star-freezer compartment in accordance with
the manufacturer's data. Make sure the food
items do not defrost after purchase and to store
them as fast as possible in the freezer.
• It is possible to store food for longer periods of
time, up to three months. This period might vary,
so observe the storage information on the pack-
aging of the merchandise.
