USING THE FREEZER
The freezer can be used for storing already frozen food and
Thermostat
for freezing fresh food.
Switching on the freezer for the first time
• The freezer temperature does not have to set with the
thermostat because the appliance is already factory-set.
• Plug in the appliance.
• Only place food in the freezer 2 hours after switching on.
Temperature adjustment
Settings from MIN to MAX: increase the cooling temperature.
• Thermostat setting:
MIN - storing food for short periods;
NORMAL - storing food for longer periods;
MAX - storing food for long periods and freezing food.
Door
Drawers
Note:
The room temperature, how often the door is opened and the
position of the appliance can affect the temperature inside the
freezer.
Take these factors into account when setting the thermostat.
Freezing
Place the maximum amount indicated on the rating plate,
in the middle compartment, taking care not to place it in
contact with already frozen food.
For optimum appliance performance, turn the thermostat knob to
Control unit
Max, introduce the food to be frozen, and after 24 hours turn the
knob back to Normal.
In general, around 24 hours of "MAX" function is sufficient after
adding food; after this time, deselect the "MAX" function
(if present).
Important:
When freezing small amounts of food, the food can be placed in
any compartment except the bottom drawer.
Also, in order to save energy, the fast freeze function (if present)
does not have to be activated.
