Use of the freezer
The freezer is marked with the
symbol, which
means that the compartment is suitable for freezing
foods and for long-term storage of frozen foods.
Frozen food storage
Insert the plug into the wall socket, pilot light (A) will
come on; this indicates that the appliance is switched
on.
For correct storage of frozen and deep-frozen foods,
freezer temperature should be at least –18
°
C or
colder. To do this, we recommend that you turn knob
(E) to an intermediate position. The freezer’s
temperature is thus automatically set for good food
storage.
If the appliance is being used in abnormal conditions
– e.g. poor ventilation, high or low room temperature
and/or frequent opening of appliance’s door – the
setting must be adjusted accordingly. In these cases
knob (E) must be turned to the higher settings to
obtain a lower temperature, or to the lower settings to
obtain a higher temperature.
Freezer operation can be halted by turning knob (E) to
position «
O
». The refrigerator will continue to work.
Quick freezing
Turn knob (D) to position «S» (SUPER). The pilot
light (B) will then light up.
Warning light (C)
This light warns when the temperature inside the
freezer compartment has increased so much as to
jeopardize the preservation of food in the
compartment.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time or
when food is placed in the compartment for freezing,
this light remains on until the temperature has reached
the level required for correct storage.
Air circulation
Your appliance is fitted with a fan inside the
refrigerator compartment. To tun it on, press the
switch (A-Fig. 13) located on the fan housing; the
switch will illuminate. To turn the fan off, press this
switch again; the switch light will go out.
The appliance can be operated with the fan turned off
(switch off/light out); in this case, remember to set the
thermostat knob between 4 and 6.
It is recommended that the fan be turned on (switch
on/illuminated) in the following circumstances:
high ambient temperature (above 25
°
C);
to obtain faster cooling (for example after having
placed a large quantity of food in the refrigerator;
to achieve a uniform temperature throughout the
refrigerator compartment.
Bear in mind that when the fan is operating, the
recommended position for the thermostat knob is
