4.4 Temperature regulation
To set the temperature, press the Control
button repeatedly until you reach the desired
temperature.
Recommended set temperature is:
• -18°C for the freezer.
The temperature range may vary between
-15°C and -24°C for freezer.
Choose the setting keeping in mind that the
temperature inside the appliance depends on:
• room temperature,
• frequency of opening the door,
• quantity of food stored,
• appliance location.
The temperature indicators show the set
temperature.
The set temperature is reached within 24
hours. After a power failure it remains
stored.
4.5 Super Freeze function
The Super Freeze function performs pre-
freezing and fast freezing in sequence in the
freezer compartment. This function
accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at
the same time, protects foodstuffs already
stored from warming up.
To freeze fresh food activate the Super
Freeze function at least 24 hours before
placing the food to complete pre-freezing.
To activate the Super Freeze function, press
and hold the Control button for 3 seconds.
The Super Freeze indicator flashes.
This function stops automatically after 52
hours.
You can deactivate the Super Freeze function
before its automatic end by pressing and
holding the Control button for 3 seconds. The
Super Freeze indicator turns off.
5. 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 Super
Freeze function at least 24 hours before
placing the food to be frozen in the freezer
compartment.

second compartment or drawer from the top.
Store the fresh food evenly distributed in the
first and second 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).
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 Super Freeze
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.
CAUTION!
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 on rating plate under "rising
time", the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked immediately
then cooled and then re-frozen.
5.3 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator or at
room temperature, depending on the time
available for this operation.
