HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER
This freezer can be used for storing frozen food
and freezing fresh food.
The freezer is designed to operate at room
temperatures between +16ºC and +32ºC
Starting up the freezer
There is no need to set the freezer temperature
•
using the thermostat knob because it has already
been preset in the factory.
Plug in the appliance.
•
The alarm is activated, since the temperature
•
inside the freezer is not low enough for inserting
the foodstuff.
Place the foodstuff inside only when the alarm is
•
deactivated (for more details consult the enclosed
product chart).
Temperature regulation
For temperature regulation, consult the enclosed
product chart.
Note
Internal freezer temperatures are affected by room
temperature, frequency of opening of the door and the
position of the freezer.
The thermostat setting must be changed depending
on these factors.
Activation of rapid freezing
The quantity in kilos of fresh food that can be
frozen within 24 hours is indicated on the
appliance rating plate.
For optimal freezing, press the rapid freeze button
(until the yellow pilot lamp comes on) 24 hours before
placing food inside the freezer.
About 24 hours of rapid freezing are usually sufficient;
after this period switch off the rapid freeze function.
Warning:
For small quantities of food, the rapid freeze function
can be disconnected after a few hours, in order to save
power consumption.
