• turn the Temperature regulator counter
clockwise to obtain warmer storage
temperature.
• turn the Temperature regulator clock-
wise to obtain colder storage tempera-
ture.
A medium setting is generally the
most suitable.
The exact setting should be chosen keep-
ing 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.
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
Temperature regulator must be
set to a higher temperature to al-
low automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy con-
sumption.
2.5 Action Freeze function
You can activate the Action Freeze func-
tion by pressing the Action Freeze button.
The Action Freeze light will light up.
This function stops automatically
after 52 hours.
It is possible to deactivate the function at
any time by pressing the Action Freeze
button. The Action Freeze light will switch
off.
2.6 Temperature alarm
Temperature increase in the freezer com-
partment (for example due to an earlier
power failure) is indicated by:
• Alarm light flashing.
• sounding of buzzer.
During the alarm phase, the buzzer can
be switched off by pressing the Alarm re-
set button.
When normal conditions are restored the
Alarm light will switch off automatically.
3. DAILY USE
3.1 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 small amount of fresh foods it is
not necessary to change the present set-
ting.
To freeze fresh food activate the Action
Freeze function 24 hours before placing
the food to be frozen in the freezer com-
partment.
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 rat-
ing plate, a label located on the inside of
the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: dur-
ing this period do not add other food to
be frozen.
3.2 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.
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, 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).
3.3 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature, de-
