HOW TO USE THE FREEZER

The freezer can be used for storing already frozen food and
for freezing fresh food.

Switching on the freezer for the first time

t There is no need to set the freezer temperature on the

thermostat because the appliance is already factory set.

t Plug in the appliance.
t The alarm signal activates, indicating that the freezer has not yet

reached a sufficiently cold temperature for storage of foodstuffs.

t Only place food in the freezer once the alarm signal has

deactivated (for further details, see the enclosed product
sheet).

Temperature Adjustment

For temperature adjustment, see the enclosed product sheet.

Note:

Ambient air temperature, the frequency of door opening and the
position of the appliance can affect the freezer internal
temperature.

Take these factors into consideration when setting the thermostat
knobs.

“6th Sense” function

The 6th Sense function, if present, is automatically activated in the
following cases:

Door opening

The function activates when door opening causes the internal
temperature to increase to values that do not ensure safe storage
of food and remains active until optimal storage conditions have
been restored.

Placing fresh food in the freezer

The function activates when fresh food is placed in the freezer and
remains active until optimal freezing conditions are reached so as
to ensure the best freezing quality with the lowest power
consumption.

NOTE: Besides the quantity of food loaded into the freezer,
ambient temperature and the quantity of food already inside the
freezer affect the duration of the 6th Sense function. Therefore
significant duration variations are quite norm

Freezing

The amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24
hours is indicated on the appliance data plate.

For optimum appliance performance, press the fast freeze button
(until the yellow LED lights up) 24 hours before placing fresh food
in the freezer.

After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours on fast freeze
function is generally sufficient; After 24 hours, deactivate the fast
freeze function

Attention:

In order to save energy, when freezing small amounts of food, the
fast freeze function can be deactivated after a few hours.

If the 6th Sense function is present, appliance operation is
controlled automatically and no operation is required (see chapter
“6th Sense” function)

Tips for freezing and storing fresh food.

t Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:

aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags,
polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for
freezing fresh food.

t Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order to

obtain high quality frozen food.

t Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen as soon as

they are picked to maintain the full original nutritional value,
consistency, colour and flavour.

Some meat, especially game, should be hung before it is frozen.

Note:

t Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the freezer.
t Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not

refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. Once
cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.

Freezing and storing fresh food

t Place foods to be frozen in the baskets.
t Place the ice packs (if supplied) above the food stored in the top

compartment.

t In models with ice packs, in the event of a power failure, place

the ice pack/s above the food stored in the top compartment, in
order to optimise the rising time and therefore maintain correct
food preservation.

Important:
The table alongside shows the recommended maximum

storage time for frozen fresh foods.
Declared performance refers to appliance operation
without ice packs, with the exception of the rising time.

Classification of frozen foods

Put the frozen products into the freezer and classify them.
The storage date should be indicated on the packs, to allow use

within expiry dates.

Advice for storing frozen food

When purchasing frozen food products:
t Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in

damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is
swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under
optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun.

t When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and

transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.

t Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the

freezer.

t If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it.

Consume within 24 hours.

t Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.

Respect the best-before date on the package.

t Always observe the storage information on the package.
