5Using your refrigerator
1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest
setting)
MAX. = Highest cooling setting
(Coldest setting)
Please choose the setting according
to the desired temperature.
The interior temperature also
depends on ambient temperature,
the frequency with which the door is
opened and the amount of foods kept
inside.
Frequently opening the door causes
the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended
to close the door again as soon as
possible after use.
The normal storage temperature of
your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F).
Lower temperatures can be obtained
by adjusting the thermostat knob
towards Position MAX.
We recommend checking the
temperature with a thermometer
to ensure that the storage
compartments are kept to the desired
temperature. Remember to take
the reading immediately since the
thermometer temperature will rise
very rapidly after you remove it from
the freezer.

LED indicators and control
panel
There are three coloured indicator
lights located on the front of the
appliance which shows the operating
mode of the freezer.
Green Indicator (1): Illuminates
when the appliance is connected to
the mains and will glow as long as
electricity is available. The green light
will not glow if the thermostat is set
to ‘0’ position. The green indicator
does not give any indication of the
temperature inside the freezer.
Amber Indicator (2):This indicator
will glow when the fast freeze switch
is on and will continue to glow until
the fast freeze switch is turned off.
The compressor will run continuously
while fast freeze switch is on. Fast
freeze operation is for freezing fresh
food.
Red Indicator (3) Illuminates:
a) If the pre-set temperature can not
be maintained.
b) If excessive amounts of fresh food
are placed inside.
c) If the appliance door is left open
accidentally.
Thermostat knob (5) Thermostat
knob is located on the indicator light
set.
IMPORTANT: When you press the
fast freeze switch, there may be a
short delay before the compressor
starts to operate. This is normal and
