1 - THERMOSTAT WHEEL

If there is a zero (0) in the indicator’s gap, the thermostat is o. The temperature in the freezer

compartment can be lowered by rotating the thermostat wheel clockwise.

2 - The ELECTRIC POWER INDICATOR is labeled by the symbol

When the appliance is connected to the electric grid, the greed indicator light is on.

3 - The TEMPERATURE RISE INDICATOR is labeled by the symbol

When the temperature in the freezer rises above -9 °C, the red indicator light lights up. This can happen

in the following situations:

– The freezer has been o for a long time or it is turned on for the rst time; after de-icing or power

outage.

– The freezer door is open or it is opened too often.

– A great amount of unfrozen food is put into the freezer.

– The freezer system does not work, i.e. the red indicator light is on for longer than 6 hours and the

sound of compressor working can be heard or the compressor does not turn on. In this case you

should contact the service center (but rst make sure that you have taken the three causes listed

above into the account).
