6. The blinking of the Red Alarm Indicator
Light means an improper temperature in
the freezing compartment. In addition, an
intermittent sound can be heard, which
can be stopped by pressing the Acoustic
Signal Stop and Fast Freeze Switch once.
7. 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 con-
servation of frozen food.
Switching off
1. To turn off the appliance, turn the Temper-
ature Regulator to the "O" position.
2. To disconnect the appliance from the
power disconnect the mains plug from the
wall socket.
Temperature regulation
The temperature within the appliance is con-
trolled by the Temperature Regulator situated
on the control panel.
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
• turn the Temperature Regulator toward low-
er settings to obtain the minimum coldness.
• turn the Temperature Regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum cold-
ness.
A medium setting is generally the most
suitable.
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 inter-
nal 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),
18
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 sec-
onds to activate the fast-freeze function
6-24 hours before placing the fresh food
in the freezer, the Yellow Fast Freeze Indi-
cator Light will illuminate. The compressor
will now run continuously, to ensure that
the fresh food is frozen as quickly as pos-
sible.
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 compart-
ments (the first and second 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 Switch for 2- 3
seconds and the Yellow Fast Freeze Indi-
cator light will also go out.
5. Move frozen food from the freezing com-
partments into the other three compart-
ments (storing compartments) to make
room for another freezing.
If the Fast Freeze Switch is accidentally
left on, the fast-freeze function will be au-
tomatically switched off 48 hours later. The
Yellow Fast Freeze Indicator light will also go
out.
