Switching on the appliance

Plug the mains plug into the mains outlet socket. The appliance will start cooling.

Notes on using the appliance

After switching on the appliance, it may be several hours before the set temperature is reached. Do not put any food in the appliance before then.
If you cannot open the appliance door again immediately after closing it, wait a moment for the low pressure created to equalise.

Setting the temperature

Freezer compartment

Use a coin to turn temperature controller to the required setting. We recommend a medium temperature setting.

cold: Warmer temperature

extra cold: Cooler temperature (higher energy consumption)

Set cooler temperatures only as a temporary measure when large quantities of food are put into the freezer compartment or when ice is produced.

Freezer compartment

Use the freezer compartment for:

Storing deep frozen food.
To make ice cubes.
To freeze food.

Make sure that the appliance door is always closed. When the appliance door is open, the frozen foods defrost and the freezer compartment ices up heavily. In addition: Energy is wasted due to the power consumption.

Freezing and storing

Purchasing frozen foods

Packaging must not be damaged.
Observe the best before date.
The temperature in the commercial chest freezer must be -18 °C or colder.
As far as possible, frozen food must be transported in an insulated container and quickly placed in the freezer compartment.

When arranging the food, note the following: Spread the items out well in the frozen food containers. Note: Food that is already frozen must not come into contact with the food that is to be freshly frozen.

Storing frozen food

Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.
