HOW TO USE THE FREEZER
This freezer can be used to store already frozen food and
to freeze fresh food.
The freezer can operate at ambient temperatures
b18°C and +43°C.
Switching on the freezer for the first time
There is no need to set the freezer temperature on the
thermostat because it has already been factory-set.
Plug in the appliance.
The alarm signal will switch on, indicating that temperature
inside the freezer is not yet sufficiently low for food storage.
Place food inside the freezer only when the acoustic alarm
stops (for more details see product sheet supplied).
Temperature adjustment
For temperature adjustments, refer to the product description
sheet supplied.
Note:
The ambient air temperature, the frequency of door opening
and the position of the appliance can affect the internal
temperatures of the freezer.
These factors must be taken into account when setting the
thermostat.
Freezing
The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen
over a period of 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.
To obtain the best performance from the appliance, push the
fast freeze button (until the yellow light comes on) 24 hours
before placing fresh food in the freezer.
Food must be stored in the special freezing compartments (see
product description sheet supplied). In appliances with more
than 5 compartments, remove food from the compartment
below those used for freezing, and place the ice packs (if
supplied) in the empty compartment.
Generally, 24 hours on fast freeze is sufficient after placing
foodstuffs in the freezer; after this time, deselect the fast freeze
function.
Important:
When freezing small amounts of food, use any compartment
except the bottom drawer. To avoid wasting energy, the fast
freeze function can also not be selected.
