To start the freezer and thermostat control
Plug in the appliance. Turn the thermostat control knob to the desired position. 1 : The lowest position of the thermostat control knob results in the highest temperature inside the appliance. 6 : The highest position of the thermostat control knob results in the lowest temperature inside the appliance. 0 : Off. Allow the appliance to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the temperature setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the appliance.
Temperature inside the freezer
To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C or below. Please note, however, that the energy consumption increases as the temperature decreases.

Freezing
In all other cases, press the fast-freezing button approx. 24 hours prior to placing the food in the freezer. You need not press the fast-freezing button when freezing smaller quantities of food during any 24-hour period. Press the fast-freezing button to switch off fast-freezing again about 24 hours after placing the food in the freezer. The yellow fast-freezing lamp remains lit as long as the fast-freezing button is engaged. Practical advice on freezing · When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if necessary the shelf beneath as this is the coldest part. · Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves. · Spread out the products as much as possible to allow air to circulate between them. · Do not place food products which are to be frozen directly against other frozen food. The heat from the unfrozen food may cause the frozen food to thaw on the surface. · Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put them as close as possible to each other. The food will then stay cold longer in the event of a power failure.
