Operation
Requirements
You can use the chest freezer once
– you have read the "Safety" chapter and un-
derstood the safety instructions (see page
GB-4).
– it has been set up and connected as de-
scribed in the "Start-up" chapter (see page
GB-9).
Operating displays
Power (7) illuminates as soon as power is
supplied to the chest freezer.
Run (8) illuminates when the compressor is
working.
Alarm (9) illuminates when the chest freez-
er temperature rises above the set level and
during normal operation will occur
– immediately after start-up, after defrosting
and cleaning.
– after a prolonged power failure.
– if you have stored a large amount of fresh
food.
As soon as the set temperature is reached,
the Alarm indicator turns off automatically.
If none of this happens, refer to "Troubleshoot-
ing table" on page 19 to correct the problem.

Operation
Switching on and off
Switching on
1. Turn the thermostat control to the desired
cooling capacity. The compressor starts
to work after a short time, the refrigerant
flows through the pipes and a quiet hum-
ming can be heard. The Power (7), Run
(8) and Alarm (9) indicators are illuminat-
ed. Once the chest freezer has reached
the set temperature, the compressor turns
off. The Run and Alarm indicators switch
off.
2. If the chest freezer makes worrying nois-
es check the solid base and remove any
objects that are on top of the chest freez-
er.
Switch off / shutdown
If you do not want to use the empty freezer,
switch it off in the following way:
1. To switch off the freezer, turn the thermo-
stat control (4) to "OFF" and pull out the
mains plug.
2. Remove the freezer baskets from the
chest freezer.
3. Clean the chest freezer (see „Cleaning
and maintenance" on page GB-16).
4. Leave the lid slightly open, so mould does
not form on the inside. You have now
switched off the chest freezer and it is no
longer in use.
If you only set the thermostat control
(4) to "OFF", the compressor stops
working, meaning that the appliance does
not cool. However, the power will continue
to fl ow.
