Thermostat knob
The thermostat knob is located on the
top trim.
Important:
When you press the fast-freeze switch
or adjust the set temperature, there may
be a short delay before the compressor
starts to operate. This is normal and not
a compressor fault.

Freezing

Freezing food

You can use the appliance for freezing
fresh food as well as for storing pre-
frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations
given on the packaging of your food.
• Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle
may burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such
as coloured ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity
of your appliance in 24 hours. See the
rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the
food, the freezing must be effected as
rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be
exceeded, and the temperature inside
the freezer will not rise.
• Attention
Keep the already deep-frozen food
always separated with freshly placed
food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the
cooling compressor will work until the
food is completely frozen. This can
temporarily cause excessive cooling of
the refrigeration compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult
to open just after you have closed it,
don't worry. This is due to the pressure
difference which will equalize and allow
the door to open normally after a few
minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after
closing the door. This is quite normal.
