Voltage can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage. Pilot light (D) will come on. Warning light Warning light (E) lights up when the temperature inside the freezer compartment has increased to a value which jeopardizes the long-term storage of food in the compartment. When the appliance is switched on for the first time or when food is placed in the compartment for freezing, it is normal for this light to remain on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage. Temperature regulation The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob towards minimum or reduced (colder) by rotating the knob towards maximum. However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on: room temperature; how often the door is opened; the quantity of food stored; location of appliance. A medium setting is generally the most suitable. To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to position « ». 6 Freezing food Set the freezer to quick-freezing operational status. Wait at least 3 hours before introducing fresh foods into the freezer if it has only recently been turned on. If the freezer has already been working for some time, turn the respective knob to the «S» position at least 24 hours before introducing the food into the freezer in order to ensure better freezing results. This period of time may be shortened according to the quantity of food. When quick-freezing is being performed, the compressor works continuously, employing all of its refrigerating power to the maximum. Keep the knob as it is for another 24 hours after the introduction of the food into the freezer and then return the knob to the «N» position. Bear in mind the freezing capacity of your freezer; that is, the maximum quantity of food that may be frozen in 24 hours. [. . . ] You may then return the knob to the «N» position. After letting the appliance to run for two or three hours on the quick-freeze setting, it is ready again for storing frozen food.
