Adjust the feet to keep the freezer level.56 AMBIENT TEMPERATUE POWER FAILURE

This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperature between 10°C and 38°C. If these temperatures are exceeded, i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. If the ambient temperatures are exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer will rise above -18°C and food spoilage may occur. If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed. Frozen food should not be aected if the power failure lasts for less than 11 hours. Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat. Before placing food in the appliance - Remove all packaging. - Allow the appliance to run empty for 2 – 3 hours so the compartment can cool to the appropriate temperature. - Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust. Temperature control The freezer is controlled with a control panel inside it.57 Repeatedly press to set the desired temperature in the freezer compartment in a cycle of -14°C, -16°C, -18°C, -20°C, -22°C. The temperature will be conrmed after ashing for 5 seconds. The runnning time and temperature are aected by where the freezer is located, how often the door is opened and the temperature of the room the freezer is located in. When you use the appliance for the rst time, adjust the temperature to the coldest setting (-22°C) for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust to the middle setting (-18°C). Super freezing mode This mode will help food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, avours and appearance. To activate this mode, press and hold for about 3 seconds until the SUPER indicator light illuminates.
