Excessive temperature alarm
If the temperature inside the freezer has risen
to a point where the safe storage of frozen
food is no longer ensured (for example due
to an power failure) the Alarm light will blink
and an acoustic alarm will sound.
1. Switch off the warning tone by pressing
the Fast Freeze switch.
The Fast Freeze light illuminates.
The Alarm light blinks until the required
temperature has been reached again.
2. The Fast Freeze switch can be released
as soon as the Alarm light is off.
The Fast Freeze light goes out.
When the freezer is first switched on, the
Alarm light blinks until the temperature
has dropped to a safe level for the stor-
age of frozen food.
Door open alarm
An acoustic alarm will sound when the door
is left open for more than 60 seconds.
When normal conditions are restored (door
closed), the acoustic alarm will stop.
In any case, press the Acoustic alarm reset
switch to deactivate the acoustic alarm.
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. Important! Do not use detergents or abra-
sive powders, as these will damage the fin-
ish.
Daily use
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the Fast Freeze
function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the two
top compartments.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate , a label located on the inside of the
appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be fro-
zen.
After 24 hours, when the freezing process is
completed, return to the required tempera-
ture (see "Temperature regulation").
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the com-
partment let the appliance run at least 2
hours on the higher settings.
Important! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for longer
than 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).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
