HOW TO USE THE FREEZER
The freezer can be used for storing frozen food and freezing
fresh food.
Switching on the freezer for the first time
• There is no need to set the freezer temperature on the
thermostat because the appliance is already factory set.
• Plug in the appliance.
• The alarm signal, if present, activates, indicating that the freezer
has not yet reached a sufficiently cold temperature for storage
of foodstuffs.
• Only place food in the freezer once the alarm signal has
deactivated or, in the absence of an alarm, 2 hours after
switching on (for further details, see the enclosed product
sheet).
Adjusting the temperature
For temperature adjustment, see the enclosed product sheet.
Note:
Ambient air temperature, the frequency of door opening and the
position of the appliance can affect the freezer internal
temperature.
These factors must be taken into account when setting the
thermostat.
Freezing
The amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is
indicated on the appliance date plate.
For optimum appliance performance, press the fast freeze button,
if present, (until the yellow led light up) 24 hours before placing
fresh food in the freezer.
Place food to be frozen in the compartments for freezing
(see enclosed product sheet).
After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours on fast freeze
function is generally sufficient; After 24 hours, deactivate the fast
freeze function.
Important:
When freezing only small amounts of food, the food can be placed
in any compartment, with the exception of the bottom drawer.
Furthermore, in order to save energy, when freezing small
amounts of food the fast freeze function need not necessarily be
activated.
