HOW TO USE THE FREEZER

The freezer can be used for storing already frozen food and

for freezing fresh food.

Switching on the freezer for the first time

•

There is no need to set the freezer temperature on the

thermostat because the appliance is already factory set.

•

Plug in the appliance.

•

The alarm signal activates, indicating that the freezer has not yet

reached a sufficiently cold temperature for storage of foodstuffs.

•

Only place food in the freezer once the alarm signal has

deactivated (for further details, see the enclosed product

sheet).

Temperature Adjustment

For temperature adjustment, see the enclosed product sheet.

Note:

Ambient air temperature, the frequency of door opening and the

position of the appliance can affect the freezer internal

temperature.

Take these factors into consideration when setting the thermostat

knobs.

“6th Sense” function

The 6th Sense function, if present, is automatically activated in the

following cases:

Door opening

The function activates when door opening causes the internal

temperature to increase to values that do not ensure safe storage

of food and remains active until optimal storage conditions have

been restored.

Placing fresh food in the freezer

The function activates when fresh food is placed in the freezer and

remains active until optimal freezing conditions are reached so as

to ensure the best freezing quality with the lowest power

consumption.

NOTE:

Besides the quantity of food loaded into the freezer,

ambient temperature and the quantity of food already inside the

freezer affect the duration of the 6th Sense function. Therefore

significant duration variations are quite normal.

Freezing

The amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24

hours is indicated on the appliance data plate.

For optimum appliance performance, press the fast freeze button

(until the yellow LED lights up) 24 hours before placing fresh food

in the freezer.

After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours on fast freeze

function is generally sufficient; After 24 hours, deactivate the fast

freeze function

Attention:

In order to save energy, when freezing small amounts of food, the

fast freeze function can be deactivated after a few hours.

If the 6th Sense function is present, appliance operation is

controlled automatically and no operation is required (see chapter

“6th Sense” function)

Drawers (except the bottom drawer) may be removed in order to obtain increased storage space (Fig. 1) Ensure that the load does not exceed the limit (if present) indicated on the side walls of the appliance. Please follow the storage times given on the frozen food packages.

"SHOCK FREEZE" COMPARTMENT (selected models only) The "Shock Freeze" compartment is specifically designed to freeze up to 2 kg of fresh food extremely quickly. The ultra-fast "Shock Freeze" function minimises the formation of ice crystals inside the food as it freezes, thus ensuring it is of the best possible quality when defrosted prior to consumption. When the "Shock Freeze" function is not active, the compartment can be used as normal for traditional freezing or for the storage of already frozen foods.
