Control panel (fig. 13)
To activate the quick freezing function turn dial "A" clock-wise to the "Super" position, the
yellow LED "E" will switch on to indicate that the quick freezing process has begun. This
stage will stop automatically after 50 hours (the yellow LED will turn off). To restore the
appliance to the previous settings turn the dial "A" to the previous position, other than
"SUPER".
Control panel (fig. 2) for Built-In Fridge Freezer with 2 compressors
To activate the quick freezing function turn dial "D" clock-wise to position "S", and the yel-
low LED "C" will light up. After 50 hours, when the quick freezing process has finished,
the yellow light "C" will flash to indicate that the thermostat dial needs to be turned to the
normal working position.
Combi fridge freezers with or without control panel (fig. 12)
24 hours before beginning freezing, make space for the products requiring freezing.
When freezing starts, in order not to cool the refrigerator compartment excessively, it may
be necessary to decrease the setting on the thermostat dial by one or two numbers,
depending on the load and the ambient temperature. When freezing is over, reset the
thermostat at its normal dial setting.
Single compressor, built-in version with control panel (fig. 2)
In addition to the instructions for combi appliances without control panel:
for improved freezing, whenever the ambient temperature is above 30°C, it is recommen-
ded to turn the thermostat to the "S" position for rapid freezing, approximately 6 hours
before inserting fresh food for freezing.
After 6 hours (when LED "C" is flashing) turn the thermostat dial to a normal working posi-
tion different from "S".
FOR ALL APPLIANCES, the maximum quantity that can be frozen, as laid down by
European standards, is indicated on the serial number and specification plate.
DEFROSTING
The refrigerating compartment defrosts automatically whenever the compressor is not
working. During these periods the water drops that are formed from the melting frost drain
into an appropriate container located over the compressor, which, with the heat it genera-
tes, causes it to evaporate.
It is advisable not to place either food or the container against the back panel.
For defrosting the freezer compartment, follow these instructions:
a) 24 hours before defrosting set the thermostat knob onto the high numbers or activate
fast freezing, to lower the temperature of the food.
b) Wrap frozen foods in sheets of special foodstuff paper and plate them in a refrigerator
or in a cool place.
c) Set the thermostat to "0" or, where appropriate, switch off the green switch.
d) Leave the door open.
e) When defrosting is finished, dry the inside and replace the food that had been removed.
f) Set the refrigerator to its former condition and allow it to function with the thermostat on
a high value.
Fig. 9) Important: the freezer is equipped with a frost water evacuation system consisting
of a flexible rubber drain tube located on the bottom panel of the cell.
Fig. 10) Important: in some models the defrosted water is discharged from the freezer by
means of a pipe (closed with a plug) connected to a drip located at the base.
In some models the drip tray must be pulled out from the chick plate and replaced after
defrosting (fig. 10b).
N.B.: Remember to remove the plug that closes the pipe in order to drain the defrosted
water and replace the plug after the water has been drained.
