Temperatureadjustment

Use the key (4) to select the desired temperature.

To adjust the internal temperature, proceed as follows:

• Repeatedlypressthekey(4).Eachtimethekeyis

pressed, the set temperature is updated, displaying

the“Normal”,“Eco”and“Plus”valuesinsuccession.

• Select“Plus”foracolderstoragetemperature.

• Withpartialloads“Eco”isrecommended:this

setting will optimize energy consumption.

Note:

Thesettingswillbesavedinthememoryeven

if a power cut occurs. The time needed for the

temperature inside the freezer to reach the set value,

can vary depending on climatic conditions and the set
