higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
The intermediate position is usually the
most suitable.
However, the exact setting should be
chosen keeping in mind that the tempera-
ture inside the appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.

alarm light will switch off automatically.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat-
ing plate, a label located on the inside of
