When lit (on setting "S") the compressor runs continuously to reach the low temperatures necessary for freezing fresh foods. When off, the freezer is operated by the thermostat. Thermostat ''a'' This regulates the temperature inside the appliance automatically. Turn the knob from setting 1 to 3 for increasingly colder temperatures. To adjust the thermostat, use a coin to turn the knob. Green Light ''b'' Type "A" control panel.

Always follow the instructions on the packages of deep frozen foods carefully and if there are no instructions neverkeep the food for more than 3 months from the date of purchase. When buying deep-frozen foods, ensure that they have been stored at appropriate temperatures and that the wrapping is intact. To keep the quality of the deep-frozen food unlatered, transfer it to special containers and then place it inside the storage compartment as soon as possible.

Defrosting The frost should be removed from the walls of the appliance periodically. Never use sharp metal objects to remove frost because they could pierce the cooling circuit and damage the freezer beyong repair. Use the plastic scraper provided for this purpose. To defrost the appliance completely (this should be done once or twice a year), turn off the green light and leave the door open until the frost has completely thawed. A defrost water collection system is situated at the bottom of this appliance "D" as shown in figure 2. To speed up defrosting, place one or more basins of warm water inside the appliance. When defrosting, remove the frozen food from the appliance, wrap it in newspaper and store in a cool place. Since the rise in temperature will shorten the storage life of the food, it should be used as soon as possible. Fig. [. . . ] · Remember that the refrigerating gas in the cooling circuit causes a slight bubbling sound, even when the compressor is not running (this is quite normal). Red Light always On Check that: · the door is shut properly and that the door seals are not damaged; · the thermostat temperature knob is on the correct setting; · there is not too much frost on the inside walls. Compressor operates continuously Check that: · the yellow light is not on (continuous operating function); · the thermostat is in the correct position. If after making these checks you still find your appliance doesn't work properly, call a Service Centre, and describe the problem. Make sure that you know the model code and the relative numbers printed on the data plate located on the bottom left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper. Never call unauthorized personnel and insist on the use of original spare parts.
