Use of the freezer compartment
Temperature control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by
the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet.
The temperature of this compartment may be
regulated by rotating the knob (B), and may vary
between more or less -15°C and -24°C.
When the knob is rotated, the display flashes and
indicates the set temperature. After having set the
desired temperature, if the knob is not rotated within
5 seconds, the temperature of the freezer
compartment will be indicated.
To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control beyond the
●
position.
When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you
turn the thermostat control to a medium setting.
However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable
room conditions such as
- poor ventilation,
- high temperature,
- frequent door openings,
it may be necessary to select a more suitable
setting.
We suggest setting the knob to the middle position to
obtain an internal temperature of approximately
-18°C, which guarantees proper freezing and
conservation of the frozen foods.
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for long term
storage of commercially frozen food, and for freezing
fresh food.
The maximum quantity of foods to freeze in 24 hours is
shown on the serial number plate.
Place the foods you want to freeze on the shelf of the
freezer compartment, as this is the coldest point.
To freeze fresh foods, you will need to activate the fast
freeze function. Press button E (several times if
necessary) until the corresponding icon appears
After a pre-cooling period of 24 hours, place the foods
in the freezer.
The freezing process takes 24 hours. During this
period do not put other foods in the freezer.
This function stops automatically after 54 hours.
Put the foods to be frozen in the compartments of
the freezer, as per the diagram.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment let
the appliance run for at least two hours on the fast
frost setting, then push again the Super-frost button.
Important
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example
due to a power failure, if the power has been off
for longer that 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).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at
room temperature, depending on the time available
for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
The function can be de-activated at any time by
pressing button E (see paragraph "Activation of
Functions").
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other
compartments, so that the top compartments can be
used for a further freezing operation.
- The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the
best quality.
- Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is
already frozen.
- During the freezing process, ensure that the
freezer door remains closed.
