HOW TO USE THE FREEZER
The freezer can be used for storing already frozen food and
for freezing fresh food.
Switching on the freezer for the first time
•
There is no need to set the freezer temperature on the
thermostat because the appliance is already factory set.
•
Plug in the appliance.
•
Only place food in the freezer 2 hours after switching on.
Adjusting temperature
From MIN to MAX: make the internal temperature colder.
•
Thermostat setting indicator:
MIN - for storing food for short periods;
NORMAL - for storing food for longer periods;
MAX + SUPER - for storing food for long periods and freezing
fresh food.
Note:
Ambient air temperature, the frequency of door opening and the
position of the appliance can affect the freezer internal
temperature.
Take these factors into consideration when setting the thermostat
knob.
Freezing
Place the amount of fresh food indicated on the rating plate
in the middle compartment. Take care not to place the food
directly in contact with food already frozen.
For optimum appliance performance, before freezing fresh food
turn the thermostat knob to “SUPER”, then place the food in the
freezer and after 24 hours turn the knob back to “NORMAL”.
After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours on “SUPER”
function is generally sufficient; after 24 hours, deactivate the
“SUPER” function (if provided).
Important:
When freezing only small amounts of food, the food can be placed
in any compartment, with the exception of the bottom drawer.
Furthermore, in order to save energy, when freezing small
amounts of food the fast freeze function (if provided) need not
necessarily be activated.
