Indicator lights
There are three coloured indicator
lights located inside the appliance
which show the operating mode of
the freezer.
Amber Indicator
Illuminates when the thermostat
knob is turned to MAX. position and
stays on until the fast freeze operation
is deactivated manually.
Fast-freeze operation is for freezing
fresh food.
Green Indicator
Illuminates when the appliance is
connected to the mains and will glow
as long as there is electricity present.
The green indicator does not give any
indication of the temperature inside
the freezer.
Red Indicator High Temperature
Alarm
After the appliance is turned on for
the first time the alarm is not active
for 12 hours (The red LED indicator is
switched off).
After this period of time the red LED
indicator is switched on in the
following situations:
-If the appliance is overloaded with
fresh food -If the door is left open
by mistake.In these situations the
red LED indicator will continue to
be switched on until the appliance
reaches the preset temperature. If the
red LED indicator is still switched on
then wait for 24 hours before calling
service.
Thermostat knob
The thermostat knob is located on
the indicator light frame.
Important:
When you press the fast-freeze
switch or adjust the set temperature,
there may be a short delay before the
compressor starts to operate. This is
normal and not a compressor fault.
Freezing
Freezing food
You can use the appliance for
freezing fresh food as well as for
storing pre-frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations
given on the packaging of your food.
• Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the
bottle may burst when the liquid in it
is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such
as coloured ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity
of your appliance in 24 hours. See the
rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the
food, the freezing must be effected as
rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not
be exceeded, and the temperature
inside the freezer will not rise.
• Attention
Keep the already deep-frozen food
always separated with freshly placed
food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the
cooling compressor will work until the
food is completely frozen. This can
temporarily cause excessive cooling
of the refrigeration compartment.
