When the• appliance is plugged in, if the thermostat knob is not set to symbol , the green and the red lamps (points 1 and 2 control panel) light up. The green control light always remains alight and indicates the operation of the appliance. The red control light remains alight until the set operation temperature has been attained. It lights up again when the temperature inside the freezer rises due to frequent or prolonged door opening, and when the appliance has been loaded with fresh food to be frozen.

OPEN DOOR ALARM SWITCH

This appliance is equipped with an acoustic alarm which sounds when the door is left open.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB (THERMOSTAT)

The thermostat• controls the temperature inside the appliance. Position indicates that the operation of appliance is interrupted. In normal ambient conditions (temperature between +20°C and

+25°C), we suggest you adjust the thermostat control knob to a middle position. To obtain colder or warmer temperatures than -18°C, turn the thermostat control knob to the highest or lowest setting respectively.

We remind you that internal temperatures are affected by the location of the appliance, the temperature of the surrounding air, the frequency of the door opening. The setting of the thermostat may have to be varied to allow for these factors. To check the temperature of the food stored, place the thermometer (if delivered) under the food; if it is placed on the food it will indicate the temperature of the air which does not correspond to that of the food stored.

Recommended setting:

Freezer compartment: MEDIUM

To avoid food waste, please refer to the recommended setting and storage times found in the online user manual.
