In addition to a thermostat knob, the control 

panel contains two control lamps and a but-

ton (fig. 4). Control panel design and lamp 

position may vary.
The green lamp is lit when power is cor-

rectly supplied.
The yellow lamp is lit when the Super 

Freeze button has been pressed (see Super 

Freeze).

Connect the appliance to the socket outlet. 

The green lamp lights up to indicate that 

power is supplied. The red lamp on the con-

trol panel will also light up to indicate that 

the temperature inside the freezer is not yet 

sufficiently low.

The temperature is set by turning the 

thermostat knob from MIN to MAX. It is 

recommended that a coin be used to turn 

the knob. The more the thermostat knob is 

turned towards MAX, the lower the tempera-

ture. To test whether the setting is correct, 

measure the temperature of the uppermost 

item in the centre of the freezer.
It must be no warmer than –18 °C.

If more than 3 kg of fresh items are to be 

frozen, proceed as follows:

1. Press the Super Freeze button (the 

yellow lamp lights up). The freezer then 

operates at maximum capacity (the com-

pressor runs continuously).

2. Activate Super Freeze 24 hours before 

placing fresh items in the freezer.

3. After placing fresh items in the freezer, 

leave Super Freeze on for a further 24 

hours.

4. Then press the Super Freeze button 

again (the yellow lamp goes off).

When plugging in the unit an acoustic alarm 

will activate. Push the yellow button to 

deactivate the alarm. Notice that the alarm 

must be activated again after 24 hours by 

pushing the yellow button.
