Usage Features

Control Panel: Located on the front, it includes a power indicator light, a temperature regulator with an On/Off switch, a FastFreeze light, a FastFreeze switch (also serving as an alarm reset), and an alarm light.
Switching On/Off: The appliance is switched on by plugging it in and turning the temperature regulator clockwise. To switch off, turn the regulator to the "O" position and remove the plug.
Temperature Regulation: The temperature is automatically regulated, but users can adjust it using the temperature regulator. A medium setting is generally recommended. Factors influencing temperature include room temperature, door opening frequency, food quantity, and appliance location.
FastFreeze Function: Activated by pressing the FastFreeze button for 2-3 seconds, this function pre-freezes and fast-freezes food. It automatically stops after 52 hours but can be manually deactivated. It's recommended to activate this function at least 24 hours before placing fresh food for freezing.
Alarms:
- High Temperature Alarm: An acoustic alarm sounds and the alarm light blinks if the freezer temperature increases significantly (e.g., due to a power failure). The sound can be switched off by pressing the alarm reset switch.
- Door Open Alarm: An acoustic alarm sounds if the door is left open for approximately 80 seconds. It stops when the door is closed or by pressing the alarm reset switch.
Freezing Fresh Food: Fresh food should be stored evenly in the top compartment or drawer. The maximum freezing capacity within 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.
Storage of Frozen Food: Freezer drawers facilitate easy access to food. For large quantities, drawers can be removed, and food placed on shelves, ensuring a 15 mm gap from the door.
Thawing: Frozen food can be thawed in the refrigerator or under cold water in a plastic bag. Small items can be cooked directly from frozen.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning:
- The interior and accessories should be cleaned with lukewarm water and neutral soap.
