A Temperature adjustment knob

By turning the knob from setting Min (1) to setting Max (4/5) allows 

adjusts the temperature inside the freezer.

For dual temperature appliances, the button can be set to cooler or 

freezer function, turning it b5°C and -25°C.

A1 The fast freezing position *

The position Super, allows the compressor to function continuously 

in order to reach the necessary temperatures for the rapid freezing 

of fresh food. When the push button is not pressed, the freezer is 

functioning according to the thermostat regulation.

For optimal appliance performance, set the appliance to super 

freeze position 12 to 24 hours before you put the fresh food into the 

freezer. ”Super Freeze” mode should be deactivated after 24-48 

hours in order to save energy.

B Warning Indicator 

* (red light)

When this red warning light comes on for a prolonged period of time, it means 

that the freezer is not functioning properly and the temperature is too high. 

This warning light may come on for a brief period when the lid is left open for 

an extended period of time (when the freezer is being loaded or unloaded).

C Power supply indicator 

 (green light)

The green light will come on and stay on while the appliance is 

connected and is operating normally.

D Fast Freeze Indicator / Running Compressor Indicator 

* 

(Orange Light)

This yellow indicator light will come on when the temperature adjustment 

knob is turned to the Super position 

A1

 (if present). Models without 

"Super" function this light (if present) comes on while compressor is 

running.

SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE 

SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE 

Before starting the appliance, follow the installation instructions (see

desired freezing temperature. At this point the freezer can be used.

NOTICE: use average temperature settings to ensure optimum 

performance and to save energy.

If, after closing the lid of the appliance, you cannot open the lid 

again, wait two to three minutes for the pressure to stabilize and 

become easy to open again. 

*Some models may not have all the functions described.

The instructions presented in the internal cover / conservation

and three-star storage temperature.

•Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-fro-

zen food, storing or making ice-cream and making ice cubes.

•One-, two- and three-star compartments are NOT suitable for the

Tips on freezing

Remember that you should never refreeze products you have 

allowed to thaw, even if only partially. Once thawed, cook the food, 

then either eat (within 24 hours) or refreeze it.

Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the 

appliance

Tips on packaging

For the best storage and thawing, remember to freeze small 

portions. This will ensure rapid and uniform freezing.

Mark package with a description of the contents and the date it was 

frozen. Never freeze more food than that allowed by the maximum 

freezing capacity, indicated on the data plate which is located on the 

back of the freezer.

To freeze food, make sure that the red light “B” is off. Then place the 

food to be frozen into the freezer, making sure that it is placed, to the 

furthest extent possible, in direct contact with the side walls of the 

deepest part of the freezer and not in contact with food that has 

already been frozen. Proper storage depends on the speed at which 

the food is frozen.

Avoid opening the freezer lid during the freezing process. Placing 

substantial amounts of fresh food in the appliance may temporarily 

raise the temperature within the freezer (the red light “B” may turn 

on). Since this is a temporary situation, it will not compromise the 

storage of the food that has already been frozen. Attention: Do not 

forget to change the temperature setting if you want to avoid 

useless wastes of energy.

In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open the freezer 

lid. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensur-

ing that the goods are conserved for at least 20 hours.

Do not place full bottles in the freezer because liquids increase in 

volume when they freeze and this could cause the bottles to burst.

Tips on storage

For best storage of fresh-frozen and frozen foods, do not set the 

thermostat knob below Min, regardless of the ambient temperature 

of the room where the freezer is installed.

For ambient temperatures of up to 25°- 27°C, the thermostat knob 

should be set between 1 and 2, while for temperatures up to 32°C 

the setting should be between 2 and 3.

Follow the instructions on the packages of frozen foods scrupulous-

ly. If none are provided, do not store the food for more than 3 

months from the date of purchase.

When purchasing frozen food, make sure that they have been 

stored at the proper temperature and that the package is properly 

sealed. When purchasing frozen foods, it is best to transport them 

in appropriate containers to keep them cold and then place them in 

the freezer immediately.

If the package is damp on the outside or is abnormally swollen, it is 

likely that the package was stored at an inadequate temperature 

and the food has deteriorated.

The following charts provide general recommended storage times 

(from date of purchase or storage of fresh food into the freezer) for 

various food products stored under optimum conditions:

Setting the thermostat to warmer values than those indicated 

in the table in the chapter "Setting up the appliance", or install

-

ing it in unsuitable conditions, may compromise the preserva

-

tion of food.
