This appliance is intended for household use only. For best use of your appliance, please read these instructions carefully. In them you will find a description of the appliance and useful tips on keeping wines and food. [. . . ] It can be used to store frozen foods for the period of time indicated on the food packaging. The freezer can also be used to freeze fresh food by positioning it on the racks; place already frozen food in the lower basket so that it is not in contact with food still to be frozen. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is given on the rating plate. Temperature adjustment The temperature is factory-set to -18°C (display 4). To change the temperature setting, press buttons (2) or (3) on the control panel until obtaining the required value. Settable temperature limit: • -17 °C least cold temperature • -24 °C coldest temperature Fast Freeze function. (also called: “Extra Load”, “Super” or “Fast Freezing”) Activate the fast freezing function by pressing the button (13) on the control panel 24 hours before placing a large amount of fresh food in the freezer; the food will then freeze in the quickest possible time. The function is activated when the yellow light (12) is on. The “Fast Freeze function” function is automatically deactivated after 48 hours. In any case, the function can be manually deactivated by pressing the same button again (the yellow light(12) goes off). Important • Wrap and seal the fresh food to be frozen in: aluminium foil, transparent film, waterproof plastic wrap, polyethylene containers with lids end suitable freezer containers. • Arrange the food to be frozen in the top drawer, leaving sufficient space around the packs for the air to circulate freely. Switching off the appliance Press the button (1) for 3 seconds. In this way the appliance switches off although remaining powered; the inside light and all the LEDs on the control panel go off except the Vacation light (6) and displays (4) and (7) which will show “- -” “- -”. To reactivate appliance operation, press the same button again for 3 seconds. 25 501960802030_GB 15-06-2007 15:27 Pagina 26 USING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT Freezer compartment alarms Freezer compartment temperature alarm When the appliance is working or during the freezing phase, the red warning light (10) may come on in conjunction with an acoustic signal, indicating that the freezer compartment temperature is not optimum for food storage. This can occur in the following cases: • during start-up; • when the appliance is switched on again after defrosting and cleaning; • when too much food is placed in the freezer; • when the freezer door does not close properly. To deactivate the acoustic signal, press the button (11). The red light (10) will automatically go off when optimum temperature conditions are reached. Power failure alarm If a temperature value flashes in the freezer display (4), the acoustic signal sounds and the temperature adjustment keys are locked. This means that a power failure has occurred for a period long enough not to guarantee maintenance of the correct storage temperature. The value shown on the display gives the highest temperature reached by the freezer compartment. To eliminate the alarm and restore control panel operation, press the Acoustic Alarm button (11) and check the food, because the compartment temperature has risen above -9°C (temperature limit for correct food preservation).
