User manual

4.2 Switching on
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the temperature regulator clockwise
to a medium setting.
The power indicator light and the alarm
light will light up.
4.3 Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the
Temperature Regulator to the "O"
position.
4.4 Temperature regulation
The temperature is regulated
automatically.
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.
1. Turn the Temperature regulator
toward lower settings to obtain the
minimum coldness.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator
toward higher settings to obtain the
maximum coldness.
CAUTION!
If the ambient temperature
is high or the appliance is
fully loaded, and the
appliance is set to the lowest
temperatures, it may run
continuously causing frost to
form on the rear wall. In this
case the dial must be set to
a higher temperature to
allow automatic defrosting
and therefore reduced
energy consumption.
4.5 High temperature alarm
In the event of an abnormal temperature
rise inside the freezer (e.g. power cut)
alarm light comes on.
When normal conditions are restored the
alarm light will switch off automatically.
4.6 FROSTMATIC function
To activate FROSTMATIC function, press
the FROSTMATIC button.
The FROSTMATIC indicator will light up.

DAILY USE
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
5.1 Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, before putting the products
in the compartment let the appliance run
at least 2 hours with the FROSTMATIC
function turned on. The freezer drawers
ensure that it is quick and easy to find
the food package you want. If large
quantities of food are to be stored,
remove all drawers except for the
bottom drawer which needs to be in
place to provide good air circulation. On
all shelves it is possible to place food
that protrude until 15 mm from the door.
WARNING!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for
longer that the value shown
in the technical
characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed
quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).
5.2 Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
