Chest freezer can be placed
at -15°C but the user should
take care about the
thermostat setting if the
appliance is assembled with
mechanical thermostat:
• When the room
temperature is lower than
-10°C, the consumer
should turn the
thermostat into the
setting number 4 to reach
good storing temperature
in the chest freezer (less
or equal -18°C).
• If the thermostat setting is
number 1 and the
ambient temperature is
-15°C, the compressor
will be not switched on by
the thermostat so the
frozen foods will warm up
to the ambient
temperature (in this case
-15°C).
3.5 High temperature alarm
An increase in the temperature in the
freezer (for example due to a power
failure) is indicated by switching on of the
Alarm light and sounding of buzzer.
The buzzer can be switched off by
pressing the Alarm reset switch.
During the alarm phase, don't place food
inside the freezer.
When normal conditions are restored,
the Alarm light will switch off
automatically.
3.6 ActionFreeze function
The ActionFreeze function accelerates
the freezing of fresh food and, at the
same time, protects foodstuffs already
stored from undesirable warming.
Activate the ActionFreeze function at
least 24 hours before placing the food to
be frozen in the freezer compartment.
To activate the ActionFreeze function,
press the ActionFreeze switch.
The ActionFreeze light will light up.
This function stops automatically after 52
hours.
It is possible to deactivate the function at
any time by pressing ActionFreeze
switch. The ActionFreeze light will switch
off.
4. DAILY USE
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
4.1 Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the
ActionFreeze function (refer to
"ActionFreeze function").
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rating plate (refer to "Technical data").
The freezing process lasts 24 hours:
during this period do not add other food
to be frozen.
4.2 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 at
least 2 hours on the higher settings.
CAUTION!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for
longer than the value shown
in the technical
characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed
quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).
