Frostmatic function
The Frostmatic is used to perform pre-
freezing and fast freezing in sequence of
Freezer compartment. This function
accelerates the freezing of fresh food
and, at the same time, protects
foodstuffs already stored from
undesirable warming.
To freeze fresh food activate
the Frostmatic function at
least 24 hours before placing
the food to complete pre-
freezing.
To switch on the function:
1. Press the Frostmatic button for 2-3
seconds to activate the Frostmatic
function. The Frostmatic light will
switch on.
2. Place the food in the freezing
compartment and keep the
Frostmatic function switched on for
further 24 hours. Refer to "Freezing
fresh food" section.
This function stops
automatically after 52 hours.
It is possible to deactivate
the function at any time by
pressing the Frostmatic
switch for 2-3 seconds.
4.5 High temperature alarm
When there is a temperature increase in
the freezer compartment (e.g. due to a
power failure) the Alarm light is blinking
and sound is on.
The sound can be switched off at any
time by pressing the Alarm reset switch.
When normal conditions are restored the

DAILY USE
5.1
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the
Frostmatic function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
Store the fresh food evenly distributed in
the first compartment or drawer from the
top.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen without adding other fresh
food during 24 hours is specified on the
rating plate (a label located inside the
appliance).
When the freezing process is complete,
the appliance automatically returns to
the previous temperature setting (see
"Frostmatic Function").
5.2 Storage of frozen food
When activating an appliance for the first
time or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment
let the appliance run at least 3 hours with
the Frostmatic function switched on.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is
quick and easy to find the food package
you want. If large quantities of food are
to be stored, remove all drawers, except
for the bottom drawer which needs to be
in place to provide good air circulation.
