“Cold” or “Colder”.
Important!-Normally we advise you select
setting of Mid, if you want the temperature
warmer or colder please turn the knob to
lower or higher setting accordingly.
When you turn the knob to lower which can
lead to the more energy-saving. Otherwise,
it would result the high energy-consuming.
Important!-High ambient temperatures
(e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting
on the temperature regulator (position
Colder) can cause the compressor to run
continuously!
Reason: when the ambient temperature is
high, the compressor must run continuously
to maintain the low temperature in the
appliance.
When temperature falls below -10°C,
High Temperature alarm indicator will go out.
When temperature≥-10°C, the indicator
light begins to flash, and at the same time,
the alarm sounds 3 times every 10 seconds.
After 2 minutes the alarm will automatically
stop but the High Temperature alarm
indicator will be on but will stop flashing.

Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process there are some important hints:
The freezing process takes 24 hours.no
further food to be frozen should be added

food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter.
Lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food.
Ice cubes, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment,
can possibly cause the skin to be freeze
burnt.
It is advisable to show the freezing in date
on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
Make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were stored by the retailer
Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the food store to the
freezer in the shortest possible time
Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
