The freezer can be used for storing already frozen food
and for freezing fresh food.
The amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24
hours is indicated on the appliance data plate.
The freezer operates at ambient temperatures between
+10°C and +38°C.
Optimal performance is achieved at temperatures
between +16°C and +38°C.
Switching on the freezer
• There is no need to set the freezer temperature on the
thermostat because the appliance is already factory set.
• Plug in the appliance. The green power LED and the red
internal freezer temperature warning LED will light up; the
LED will switch off automatically after a few minutes.
Adjusting the thermostat
Select the freezer compartment temperature using the
thermostat knob:
1 = Minimum chilling
5 = Maximum chilling
The ambient air temperature, door opening frequency
and the amount of food to freeze can affect freezer
temperature adjustments.
We therefore recommend starting with a medium temperature setting (2-3).
Description of LEDs
The green LED indicates whether the appliance is ON.
The red LED (and the acoustic alarm on some models) indicates that the internal temperature of the
appliance is not suitable for storing food.
This occurs:
• After switching on the appliance.
• When the appliance is switched on again after defrosting and cleaning operations.
• When too much fresh food is placed in the freezer.
• When the door is not closed properly.
• When the cooling system is faulty (see “Troubleshooting guide”).
• When the thermostat is set to higher values (lower temperatures).
The yellow LED indicates that the fast freeze function is activated.
Activating the Fast freeze function
To freeze the maximum amount of food, press the fast freeze button 24 hours before placing fresh food in
the freezer. The recommended amount of food to be frozen is indicated on the data plate on the inside of
the appliance. When putting food in to freeze, the red LED may light up until the ideal temperature is
reached.
24 hours after placing the food in to freeze, deactivate the fast freeze function.
Tips for freezing and storing fresh food
• Wrap and seal the fresh food to be frozen. Use: aluminium foil, transparent film, waterproof plastic
wrap, polyethylene containers with lids and freezer containers, provided they are suitable for the food
to be frozen.
