Operation
After plugging the plug into the power outlet, if the
display is not illuminated, press key (A), appliance on.
As soon as the appliance is turned on, the following
signals will appear on the control panel:
•
symbol (2) will be positive, indicating that the
temperature is positive.
•
the temperature flashes, the background of the
display is red and you will hear a buzzer. Press key
(C) and the buzzer will go off (also see the section
on "excessive temperature alarm").
Place the freezer thermostat control knob (D) in a
middle position, and the appliance will be set up to
provide the following temperature:
roughly -18°C in the freezer.
Use of the freezer compartment
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob towards
minimum
or reduced (colder) by rotating the
knob towards maximum.
However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
refrigerator depends on:
•
room temperature;
•
how often the door is opened;
•
the quantity of food stored;
•
location of appliance.
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
rapid freezing function. Press key C (several times if
necessary) until the corresponding icon appears
After a pre-cooling period of 24 hours, place the foods
in the freezer.
Activation of functions
Each time key C is pressed, the following functions are
activated in a clockwise direction:
Symbol 4 : rapid freezing function.
No Symbol: Normal operation
Switching off
The appliance is shut off by holding down key (A) for
more than 1 second. After this, a countdown of the
temperature from -3 -2 -1 will be shown.
When the appliance is shut off, display (B) also goes
off.
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 upper compartment
of the freezer, as this is the coldest location.
The function can be de-activated at any time by
pressing key C (see paragraph "Activation of
Functions").
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 at least 24 hours on the fast freeze
setting.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers and baskets from appliance and place food
on cooling shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated
on the side of the upper section (where applicable).
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).
