Temperature acoustic alarm
This appliance incorporates an alarm which gives off
an audible signal whenever the warning light comes
on. This signal can be temporarily stopped by
depressing the push button for fast-freezing (4). The
fast-freezing push button can be released as soon as
the warning light is off.
Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light (5) lights up, it
indicates that the temperature within the freezer has
reached a level where safe food storage is no longer
ensured (warmer than -12°C).
When the freezer is first switched on, the warning
light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to
a safe level for the storage of frozen food.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 16 kg of
fresh food.
Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast-freeze
button (1) 24 hours before you want to freeze your
fresh food, the yellow light (2) illuminates. This time
can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food
to be frozen.
After the time has elapsed place the food to be
frozen in the appliance's two top compartments; if
freezing only a small amount of food, use the top
compartment.
In the top compartment, products must only be
stacked up to the mark on the cabinet interior so as
to ensure that air circulation is not obstructed.
You should never freeze more than 16 kg of fresh
food at anyone time.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) the fast freeze function can be ended
at any time by depressing the button (4) again.
The yellow light (3) goes out.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other
compartments, so that the top compartments can be
used for a further freezing operation.
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned
foodstuffs.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is
already frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer
door remains closed.
Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
we strongly recommend that you make sure that the
commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately
stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that
these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the
foodstore to the consumer in the shortest possible
time (a temperature increase of the frozen food could
shorten its storage period).
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period
indicated by the producer of the food.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks
etc.), in the freezer compartment.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer, can possibly result in
a low temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasions or "frost/freezer burns".
If there is a power failure during the storage of
frozen food, do not open the door during the
whole time of the power failure. If the freezer is
fully loaded, the frozen food will not be
affected if the power cut is of short duration;
otherwise, it is recommended to consume the
food within a very short time.
To remove the drawers, proceed as follows: pull the
drawer out until it comes to a stop, then tilt it upwards
(see figure).
