HOW TO USE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

The appliance has a 4 star freezer compartment in which food can be stored for the time indicated on the packaging. The freezer can also be used to freeze fresh food by positioning it on the racks; place frozen food in the lower basket so that there is no contact with fresh food that has yet to be frozen.

The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.

Freezing fresh food

If your appliance is equipped with a single compressor:

•Set the thermostat knob to 2-3.

•If the appliance is equipped with a freeze button, press it to activate the function (the yellow indicator light will switch on). Also the red indicator light (models with control panel) may switch on. The red indicator light will switch off when the freezer compartment has reached the optimum temperature.

Note:

The freeze function makes it possible to freeze fresh food while maintaining the temperature in the refrigerator compartment at the optimum level.

Rapid freezing function

If your appliance is equipped with two compressors, activate the rapid freezing function 6 hours before inserting fresh food to obtain the maximum freezing power as indicated on the rating plate.

Important:

•Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or special freezer containers.

•Arrange the fresh food in the upper area of the freezer compartment, leaving sufficient space around each pack for the air to circulate.

•The food will be completely frozen in 24 hours.

•Press the rapid freezing button to switch off the function (yellow indicator light switches off).

Temperature alarm function

(control panel versions)

When the appliance is running normally or when food is being frozen, the red led may switch on (in certain models this will be accompanied also by an audible signal) informing you that the temperature in the freezer compartment is too high.

This may occur in the following situations:

•when the appliance is switched on for the first time;

•when it is switched on following defrosting and cleaning;

•if you load too much food at room temperature;

•if the freezer door has been left ajar;

•if the “freezer thermostat knob” on the control panel is advanced towards the “MAX” setting (intense cold);

To mute the acoustic alarm press the “Fast freeze” button.

When temperature in the freezer compartment has fallen to acceptable levels, the red indicator LED will switch off automatically. At this point remember to switch off the “Fast freeze” function.
