High 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.
When the freezer is first
switched on, the Alarm light
blinks until the temperature has
dropped to a safe level for the
storage of frozen food.
DAILY USE
WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
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 FastFreeze
function and place 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
frozen.
When the freezing process is completed,
return to the required temperature (see
"FastFreeze Function").
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 with the FastFreeze function turned
on.
1. Switch off the warning tone by pressing
the FastFreeze switch.
The FastFreeze indicator appears.
The Alarm light blinks until the required
temperature has been reached again.
2. Release theFastFreeze switch as soon
as the Alarm light is off.
The FastFreeze indicator turns off.
If large quantities of food are to be stored,
remove all drawers from appliance and
place food on glass shelf to obtain the best
performance.
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a
power failure, if the power has
been off for longer that the value
shown in the technical data
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 in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.
