The blinking of the Red
Alarm Indicator Light and the
acoustic alarm means an

FastFreeze Switch to
deactivate the acoustic
alarm. The alarm indicator
continues to flash until the

level required for the safe
conservation of frozen food.

4.4 High temperature alarm
Under normal operating conditions, the
internal temperature of the freezer will
ensure the long-term conservation of the
stored food.
The temperature increase above a
certain level in the freezer (-12 °C, for
example due to an earlier power failure)
is indicated by flashing the Red Alarm

alarm.
To deactivate the alarm press the
Acoustic Signal Stop.
The Red Alarm Indicator
Light continues to flash until
the internal temperature has
reached a level required for
the safe conservation of

4.5 Temperature regulation
CAUTION!
Do not place heavy nor hot
objects on top of the
appliance to avoid any
damage.
The temperature within the appliance is
controlled by the Temperature Regulator
situated on the control panel.
To operate the appliance, proceed as
follows:
• 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
chosen keeping in mind that the
temperature inside the appliance
depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
4.6 FastFreeze function
If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be
frozen:
1. Press the FastFreeze button for 2-3
seconds to activate the FastFreeze
function 6-24 hours before placing
the fresh food in the freezer, the
Yellow FastFreeze Indicator Light will
illuminate. The compressor will now
run continuously, to ensure that the
fresh food is frozen as quickly as
possible.
It is possible to
deactivate the function at
any time by pressing the
FastFreeze button for
2-3 seconds.
2. Place the food in the freezing
compartment or compartments and
leave the FastFreeze function for a
further 24 hours.
