Adjusting the temperature: Turn the thermostat knob (5) setting: • to lower numbers if the internal temperature is too low; • to higher numbers to lower the internal temperature.

The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours, at an ambient temperature of +25°C, is indicated on the rating plate. If the appliance is equipped with a freeze button (4), press it to activate the function (the yellow LED switches on). This operation makes it possible to obtain the maximum freezing capacity indicated on the rating plate and to avoid excessive lowering of the refrigerator compartment temperature during freezing. Wrap and seal the food in:aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or special freezer containers.
