clockwise to obtain a lower
temperature inside the appliance.
2. Turn the temperature regulator
counterclockwise to obtain a higher
temperature inside the appliance.
4.4 FastFreeze function
The FastFreeze is used to perform pre-
freezing and fast freezing in sequence of
Freezer compartment. This function
accelerates the freezing of fresh food
and, at the same time, protects
foodstuffs already stored from
undesirable warming.
To freeze fresh food activate
the FastFreeze function at
least 24 hours before placing
the food to complete pre-
freezing.
To switch on the function:
1. Press the FastFreeze button for 2-3
seconds to activate the FastFreeze
function. The FastFreeze light will
switch on.
2. Place the food in the freezing
compartment and keep the
FastFreeze function switched on for
further 24 hours. Refer to "Freezing
fresh food" section.
This function stops
automatically after 52 hours.
It is possible to deactivate
the function at any time by
pressing the FastFreeze
switch for 2-3 seconds.
4.5 High temperature alarm
When there is a temperature increase in
the freezer compartment (e.g. due to a
power failure) the Alarm light is blinking
and sound is on.
The sound can be switched off at any
time by pressing the Alarm reset switch.
When normal conditions are restored the
Alarm light stops blinking and the sound
turns off automatically.
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
FastFreeze function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
Store the fresh food evenly distributed in
the first 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).
When the freezing process is complete,
the appliance automatically returns to the
previous temperature setting (see
"FastFreeze Function").
