Conserving frozen food
To store Food properly the inside temperature should never rise above - 18°C. An ajustable temperature control regulates this temperature. Make sure the thermostat is on a medium setting. However, it may sometimes be necessary (due to poor ventilation, high room temperatures, frequent opening of doors�) to regulate the setting of the thermostat. In the case of an accidental stoppage of the appliance or a power cut proceed as follows: � Keep the doors closed at all times. � Try to find out how long the loss of power will last for.
