Temperature regulation
The temperature within the appliance is
controlled by the Temperature Regulator
situated on the control panel.
To operate the appliance, proceed as fol-
lows:
• turn the Temperature Regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum
coldness.
• turn the Temperature Regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
A medium setting is generally the most
suitable.
However, the exact setting should be chos-
en keeping in mind that the temperature in-
side the appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
Red Alarm Indicator Light
Under normal operating conditions, the in-
ternal temperature of the freezer will ensure
the long-term conservation of the stored
food.
When such temperature rises above a cer-
tain level (-12 °C), the appliance will trigger
an acoustic and light alarm. The light alarm
is a blink red light (Red Alarm Indicator
Light), while the acoustic alarm is an inter-
mittent sound.
You can stop the acoustic alarm by press-
ing the Acoustic Signal Stop Switch once.
When switching on the freezer for the
first time, the Red Alarm Indicator Light
will blink until the internal temperature
has reached a level required for the
safe conservation of frozen food.
Fast Freeze function
If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:
1. Press the Fast Freeze Switch for 2-3
seconds to activate the fast-freeze func-
tion 6-24 hours before placing the fresh
food in the freezer, the Yellow Fast
Freeze Indicator Light will illuminate. The
compressor will now run continuously,
to ensure that the fresh food is frozen as
quickly as possible.
2. It is possible to deactivate the function
at any time by pressing the Fast Freeze
Switch for 2-3 seconds.
3. Place the foods in the freezing compart-
ments (the second and third boxes), for
maximum freezing performance remove
the freezer tray and drawers (if the
drawer is foreseen) and then place the
foods to be frozen directly on the evap-
orator. In case of freezing smaller food
volumes do not need to remove the
freezer tray and drawers.
4. Once the food is completely frozen (it
may take up to 24 hours) you can man-
ually switch off the fast-freeze function
by pressing the Fast Freeze Switch for
2- 3 seconds and the Yellow Fast
Freeze Indicator light will also go out.
5. Move frozen food from the freezing
compartments into the other three com-
partments (storing compartments) to
make room for another freezing.
If the Fast Freeze Switch is accidentally
left on, the fast-freeze function will be
automatically switched off 48 hours lat-
er. The Yellow Fast Freeze Indicator
light will also go out.
FIRST USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accesso-
ries with lukewarm water and some neutral
soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important!
Do not use detergents or abra-
sive powders, as these will damage the fin-
