Set default temperature -18 °C, it is optimal for food storage. The Display shows the set temperature. The set temperature will be reached within 24 hours. Fluctuations of some degrees around set temperature are normal and does not mean any fault in the appliance. After a power failure the set temperature remains stored. Red ALARM Indicator Light Under normal operating conditions, the internal temperature of the freezer will ensure the long-term conservation of the stored food. When such temperature rises above a certain level (-12 °C, for example due to an earlier power failure), the appliance will trigger an acoustic and light alarm. The light alarm is a blink red light (Red ALARM Indicator Light), while the acoustic alarm is an intermittent sound. • You can stop the acoustic alarm by pressing the ALARM STOP Button. • The acoustic alarm switches off. • The freezer Display shows the highest temperature reached for a few seconds. Then show again the set temperature. The Red ALARM Indicator Light continues to flash until the internal temperature has reached a level required for the safe conservation of frozen food. Quick Freeze FROSTMATIC function If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen: 1. Press the SUPER Quick Freeze Button for 2-3 seconds to activate the FROSTMATIC function 6-24 hours before placing the fresh food in the freezer, the Yellow SUPER Indicator Light will illuminate. The compressor will now run continuously, to ensure that the fresh food is frozen as quickly as possible. 2. It is possible to deactivate the function at any time by pressing the SUPER Quick Freeze Button. 3. Place the food in the freezing compartment or compartments (indicated with graphics) and leave the FROSTMATIC function for a further 24 hours. 4. Then push the SUPER Quick Freeze Button again (the Yellow SUPER Indicator Light will go out). 5. Move frozen food from the freezing compartments into the other compartments (storing compartments) to make room for another freezing. If the SUPER Quick Freeze Button is accidentally left on, the freezer will not be damaged, but energy will be wasted and it will be automatically switched off 52 hours later. The SUPER Indicator Light will also go out. First use 9 FIRST USE Cleaning the interior Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand- new product, then dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish. DAILY USE Freezing fresh food The freezer compartments (indicated with graphics) are suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time. To freeze fresh food activate the SUPER Quick Freeze function. 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. 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 on the higher settings. In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling). Thawing Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed at room temperature. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS Normal Operating Sounds • You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing. This is correct. • When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you will hear a whirring sound and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is correct. • The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenomenon. This is correct. • When the compressor switches on or switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of the temperature regulator. This is correct. 10 10 Care and cleaning Hints for freezing To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints: • the maximum quantity of food...
