To operate the appliance, proceed as fol-
lows:
• turn the Temperature Regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum cold-
ness.
• turn the Temperature Regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
A medium setting is generally the most
suitable.
However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside
the appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
Red Alarm Indicator Light
Under normal operating conditions, the in-
ternal temperature of the freezer will ensure
the long-term conservation of the stored
food.
When such temperature rises above a cer-
tain level (-12 °C), the appliance will trigger an
acoustic and light alarm. The light alarm is a
blink red light (Red Alarm Indicator Light),
while the acoustic alarm is an intermittent
sound.
You can stop the acoustic alarm by pressing
the Acoustic Signal Stop Switch once.
When switching on the freezer for the
first time, the Red Alarm Indicator Light
will blink until the internal temperature
has reached a level required for the safe
conservation of frozen food.
Fast Freeze function
If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:
1. Press the Fast Freeze Switch for 2-3 sec-
onds to activate the fast-freeze function
6-24 hours before placing the fresh food
in the freezer, the Yellow Fast Freeze In-
dicator Light will illuminate. The compres-
sor will now run continuously, to ensure
that the fresh food is frozen as quickly as
possible.
2. It is possible to deactivate the function at
any time by pressing the Fast Freeze
Switch for 2-3 seconds.
3. Place the foods in the freezing compart-
ments (the second and third boxes), for
maximum freezing performance remove
the freezer tray and drawers (if the drawer
is foreseen) and then place the foods to
be frozen directly on the evaporator. In
case of freezing smaller food volumes do
not need to remove the freezer tray and
drawers.
4. Once the food is completely frozen (it may
take up to 24 hours) you can manually
switch off the fast-freeze function by
pressing the Fast Freeze Switch for 2- 3
seconds and the Yellow Fast Freeze In-
dicator light will also go out.
5. Move frozen food from the freezing com-
partments into the other three compart-
ments (storing compartments) to make
room for another freezing.
If the Fast Freeze Switch is accidentally
left on, the fast-freeze function will be
automatically switched off 48 hours lat-
er. The Yellow Fast Freeze Indicator light
will also go out.
FIRST USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accessories
with lukewarm water and some neutral soap
so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important!
Do not use detergents or abra-
sive powders, as these will damage the fin-
ish.
