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.
Fast freeze
If large amounts of fresh food are
going to be frozen, adjust the control
knob to max. 24 hours before putting
the fresh food in the fast freeze
compartment.
