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 +16º C and +32º C.
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.
