Starting-up and temperature regulation
Insert the plug into the wall socket, the pilot light (C)
will light up to show that the appliance is working.
Turn knob (A) beyond the «O» position.
To safely store frozen and deep-frozen foods, the in-
ner temperature of the freezer must be at least –18°C
or colder.
Therefore, we suggest you turn the knob (A) to a me-
dium setting.
The temperature inside the freezer is automatically ad-
justed to ensure safe storage of the food.
However if the appliance works in unfavourable room
conditions such as poor ventilation, high ambient
temperature and frequent door openings, it might be
necessary to select a more suitable setting.
Turn knob (A) to the higher positions to obtain lower
temperatures and, conversely, to the lower positions if
a less cold temperature is required.
Freezer operation can be halted by turning knob (A) to
position «O».
Quick freezing
Slide switch (B) (Fig. 7) upwards.
The pilot lamp (E) will then light up.
Warning light (D-Fig. 7)
This light warns when the temperature inside the
freezer has increased so much as to jeopardize the
preservation of food.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time or
when food is placed in the compartment for freezing,
this light remains on until the temperature has reached
the level required for correct storage.
Freezing of fresh foods
To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not
been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the
quick-freeze setting for at least three hours before
putting the food to be frozen in the compartment.
If instead the appliance is already in operation, it
should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24
hours before the foods are put in the freezer. Once the
foods have been placed in the freezer, the freezing op-
eration can be considered to be complete 24 hours
later.
Once freezing is complete, the freezer should be reset
for normal storage use.
Food to be frozen has to be placed in the top drawer.
The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24
hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be
found on the bottom left-hand side.
You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity
of foods than the maximum indicated on the appli-
ance’s rating plate.
To help you get the best out of the freezing process,
here are a few hints:
Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned
foods.
It is in fact important to remember that once the foods
have thawed out, they deteriorate fast.
Another point to remember is that lean foods keep
better and longer than fatty foods. Salt too reduces
storage time.
Wrap the foods in foil or polythene film, ensuring that
the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well
sealed.
