Temperature regulation
The temperature within the appliance is controlled
by the Temperature Regulator situated on the con-
trol panel.
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
• turn the Temperature Regulator toward lower
settings to obtain the minimum coldness.
• turn the Temperature Regulator toward higher
settings to obtain the maximum coldness.
A medium setting is generally the most suit-
able.

However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
Red Alarm Indicator Light
Under normal operating conditions, the internal
temperature of the freezer will ensure the long-
term conservation of the stored food.
When such temperature rises above a certain level
(-12 °C), the appliance will trigger an acoustic and
light alarm. The light alarm is a blink red light (Red
Alarm Indicator Light), while the acoustic alarm is
an intermittent sound.
You can stop the acoustic alarm by pressing the
Acoustic Signal Stop Switch once.
When switching on the freezer for the first
time, the Red Alarm Indicator Light will blink
until the internal temperature has reached a level
required for the safe conservation of frozen food.
Fast Freeze function
If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:
1. Press the Fast Freeze Switch for 2-3 seconds
to activate the fast-freeze function 6-24 hours
before placing the fresh food in the freezer, the
Yellow Fast Freeze Indicator Light will illumi-
nate. The compressor will now run continuous-
ly, to ensure that the fresh food is frozen as
quickly as possible.
2. It is possible to deactivate the function at any
time by pressing the Fast Freeze Switch for 2-3
seconds.
3. Place the foods in the freezing compartments
(the second and third boxes), for maximum
freezing performance remove the freezer tray
and drawers (if the drawer is foreseen) and then
place the foods to be frozen directly on the
evaporator. In case of freezing smaller food
volumes do not need to remove the freezer tray
and drawers.
4. Once the food is completely frozen (it may take
up to 24 hours) you can manually switch off the
fast-freeze function by pressing the Fast Freeze
