Freezing fresh food

Place the fresh food to be frozen inside the freezer compartment. To freeze the quantity of food indicated on the rating plate, place the food in the bottom drawer, making sure it is not touching any already frozen food, and turn the thermostat knob half a setting to a lower value (e.g. from 4 to 3.5). Freezing will be complete after 24 hours: turn the thermostat knob back to setting used before freezing.

The fan is preset as DEACTIVATED. It is advisable to activate the fan, by pressing the button on the base (as shown in the figure), when the ambient air temperature goes above 27 ÷ 28°C or if there are drops of water on the glass shelves or in case of high humidity. To optimise energy consumption it is advisable to deactivate the fan (as shown in the figure).

Note: Gurgling and hissing noises, caused by the refrigeration system, are normal.
