Temperature regulation
The temperature within the appliance is controlled by the Temperature Regulator situated
on the control 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 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.
Fast Freeze function
If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:
1. Press the Freezer Switch to activate the fast-freeze function 6-24 hours before placing
the fresh food in the freezer, the Yellow Indicator Light will illuminate. The compressor
will now run continuously, 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 Freezer Switch.
3. Place the food in the freezing (top) compartment and leave the Freezer Switch on for a
further 24 hours.
4. Then push the Freezer Switch again (the Yellow Indicator Light will go out and the
switch turns to its original position).
5. Move frozen food from the top (freezer) compartment into the other two compart-
ments (storing compartments). For maximum freezing performance remove the top
drawer (if the drawer is foreseen) and then place the foods to be frozen directly on the
evaporator. In case of freezing smaller food volumes you do not need to remove the
drawer.
If the Freezer Switch is accidentally left on, the freezer will not be damaged, but energy will
be wasted.
FIRST USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories
with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
