Using the freezer

Use of the freezer compartment

The freezer has the symbol which means that it is suitable for freezing fresh food and for long term storage of frozen and deep-frozen food.

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the food in the compartment let the appliance run at least 12 hours.To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should: if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on cooling shelves.

Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where applicable).

Temperature regulation

The temperature may be set between -15°C and -24°C.

We suggest setting the internal temperature of approximately -18°C, which guarantees proper freezing and preservation of frozen foods.

High temperature alarm

An increase in the temperature in the freezer compartment (for example due to a power failure) is indicated by:

-flashing temperature;

-freezer compartment flashing ;

-flashing of the icon ;

-sounding of buzzer.

When normal conditions are restored:

-the acoustic signal shuts off;

-the temperature value continues to flash;

When you press key "E" to de-activate the alarm, the highest temperature reached in the compartment

appears on indicator for some seconds. Then it returns on the normal operation showing the temperature of the selected compartment.

During the alarm phase, the buzzer can be switched off by pressing key E.

Attention!

Following first start up, the temperature displayed can not correspond to the set temperature. During this time it is possible that the temperature displayed is different than the set temperature.

Attention!

Difference between the temperature displayed and temperature set is normal. Especially when:

-a new setting has recently been selected

-the door has been left open for a long time

-warm food has been placed in the compartment

Difference of up to 5°C inside the compartment are quite normal.

During normal functioning the indicator shows the warmest temperature inside the compartment.

Important

In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).

Door open audible alarm

An audible alarm will sound when the door is left open for around 5 minutes.

The door open alarm conditions are indicated by:

-flashing symbol of the relative compartment

-sounding of buzzer.

Press the key (E) to stop the acoustic alarm. When the door is closed:

- the acoustic alarm will stop.

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen and deep-frozen food, and for freezing fresh food.

The maximum quantity of foods to freeze in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate

To freeze the amount of food indicated on the rating plate, place the food directly in touch with the cooling surface (remove the drawer or basket). In case the food is frozen inside the drawers or baskets, the maximum quantity is slightly reduced.

Place the food to be frozen in the compartment, as this is the coldest part.

To freeze fresh foods, you will need to activate the quick

freeze function. Press key D (several times if necessary)

until the corresponding icon appears You must confirm the choice by pressing key E within few seconds. You will hear the buzzer and the display will show the relevant icon.

After a pre-cooling period of 24 hours, place the foods in the freezer.
