Operation of the freezer
The freezer is the ideal storage location for store frozen
food, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in the freezer
compartment.
The maximum number of kilograms of fresh food that can be
frozen within a 24-hour period is indicated on the rating plate
(...kg/24h).
If you have a little quantity of food to store in the freezer,
we recommend to use the coldest areas of your freezer
compartment, corresponding to the upper or the middle area
The freezer can operate at ambient temperatures between
+10°C and +32°C. Optimal performance is obtained at
temperatures between +16°C and +32°C.
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 green LED (indicating that the
appliance is ON) and the red LED will light up, and on some
models also the acoustic alarm (if provided) will sound
after about 1 minute, indicating that the freezer has not
yet reached a sufficiently cold temperature for storage of
foodstuffs.
• To mute the acoustic alarm press the door switch.
Adjusting the thermostat
Select the freezer compartment temperature Ambient air
temperature, the frequency of door opening and the amount of
food to freeze can affect the freezer temperature adjustments.
We therefore recommend starting with a medium temperature.

The alarm is activated when the door is left open for more than
2 minutes. To disengage the door alarm close the door, or press
G
once Stop Alarm button to mute the acoustic alarm.

the data plate on the inside of the appliance. When putting food

Tips for freezing and storing fresh food
• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium
• If the food in the freezer is unfrozen but still cold, all the food
in the freezer should be eaten within the next 24 hours.
• If the food in the freezer is frozen, this indicates the food was
thawed and then refrozen when electricity was re-supplied
which degrades taste, quality and nutritional value and also
could be unsafe. It is recommended to not consume the food
but to dispose of the entire content of the freezer. The Black
Out Alarm is designed to provide guidance on food quality in
the freezer in the event of electricity black out. This system
does not guarantee food quality or safety and consumers are
advised to use their own judgment in evaluating food quality
in freezer compartment.
Turning Off the sound alarm
To mute the alarm buzzer press Stop Alarm button just once
Note: After switching the appliance on, it will be necessary
to wait for 4 to 5 hours before a temperature suitable for a
standard appliance load is reached.
foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene
containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing
fresh food.
• Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order to
obtain high quality frozen food.
• Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen
as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original
nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavor.
Some meat, especially game, should be hung before it is frozen.
Note:
• Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the freezer.
• Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately.
Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed.
Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.
• Do not freeze bottles with liquid.
Freezing and storing fresh food
• Place foods to be frozen in the two upper baskets.
• When the freezer is used without the rack, place the ice
packs above the food to be frozen at the front of the top
drawer.
• Load limits are determined by baskets, flaps, drawers,
shelves etc. Make sure that these components can still close
easily after loading
Removing the baskets
Pull the drawers out as far as they go, then lift slightly and
remove. Pull the lower basket out fully, then rotate it slightly in
order to remove.
Note: Do not block the air outlet area (on the back wall inside
the product) with food products. If the freezer is provided with a
flap, it is possible to maximize the storage volume by removing
the flap. All shelves, flaps and pull-out baskets are removable.
The internal temperatures of the appliance may be affected by
the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, as well as
location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into
consideration these factors.
Unless otherwise specified the appliance accessories are not
dishwasher safe.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray up to 2/3 with water and place in the freezer
compartment.
Do not use sharp or pointed objects to detach the tray.
