Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light will
light up, indicating that the appliance is powered. Turn
the thermostat knob, clockwise, beyond the «O»
(STOP) position. The freezer will start to operate.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to
position «O».
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can be
increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by
rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or
reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher
settings.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping
in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator
depends on:
•
room temperature;
•
how often the door is opened;
•
the quantity of food stored;
•
location of appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
Quick-freezing
For quick-freezing, press the knob (C). The quick-
freezing indicator light (B) will then light up.
Warning light
The temperature alarm light turns on automatically
whenever the temperature within the freezer rises
above a certain value which might endanger
satisfactory long-term conservation.
It is perfectly normal for the temperature alarm light to
remain lit up for a short time after the freezer is initially
turned on. It will remain lit up until the optimum
temperature for the conservation of frozen food is
attained.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment let the
appliance run for at least two hours on the fast freeze
setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal
operating position.
Important
If there is a power failure when food is in the
freezer, do not open the door of the freezer
compartment. The frozen food will not be affected
if the power cut is of short duration (up to 6-8
hours) and the freezer compartment is full,
otherwise, it is recommended that the food should
be used within a short time (a temperature increase
of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period).
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the
interior and all internal accessories with luke-warm
water and some neutral soap so as to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
