The appliance has a 4 star freezer

compartment in which food can be stored for

the time indicated on the packaging. The

freezer can also be used to freeze fresh food

by positioning it on the racks; place frozen

food in the lower basket so that there is no

contact with fresh food that has yet to be

frozen.

The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen

in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.

Freezing fresh food

If your appliance is equipped with a single

compressor:

•

Set the thermostat knob to 2-3.

•

If the appliance is equipped with a freeze

button, press it to activate the function (the

yellow indicator light will switch on). Also the

red indicator light (models with control panel)

may switch on. The red indicator light will

switch off when the freezer compartment has

reached the optimum temperature.

Note:

The freeze function makes it possible to freeze

fresh food while maintaining the temperature in

the refrigerator compartment at the optimum

level.

Rapid freezing function

If your appliance is equipped with two

compressors, activate the rapid freezing function

6 hours before inserting fresh food to obtain the

maximum freezing power as indicated on the

rating plate.

Important:

•

Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:

aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight

plastic bags, polythene containers with lids

or special freezer containers.

•

Arrange the fresh food in the upper area of

the freezer compartment, leaving sufficient

space around each pack for the air to

circulate.

•

The food will be completely frozen in 24 hours.

•

Press the rapid freezing button to switch off

the function (yellow indicator light switches

off).

Temperature alarm function

(control panel versions)

When the appliance is running normally or when

food is being frozen, the

red led

may switch on

(in certain models this will be accompanied also

by an

audible signal

) informing you that the

temperature in the freezer compartment is too

high.

This may occur in the following situations:

•

when the appliance is switched on for the first

time;

•

when it is switched on following defrosting

and cleaning;

•

if you load too much food at room

temperature;

•

if the freezer door has been left ajar;

•

if the “freezer thermostat knob” on the control

panel is advanced towards the “

MAX

” setting

(intense cold);

To mute the acoustic alarm press the “Fast

freeze” button.

When temperature in the freezer compartment

has fallen to acceptable levels, the red indicator

LED will switch off automatically. At this point

remember to switch off the “Fast freeze”

function.
