• frequency of opening the door,
• quantity of food stored,
• appliance location.
A medium setting is generally the most
suitable one.
To operate the appliance:

to obtain a lower temperature inside the
appliance.
2. Turn the temperature regulator
counterclockwise to obtain a higher
temperature inside the appliance.
4.4 Frostmatic function
The Frostmatic is used to perform pre-
freezing and fast freezing in sequence of
Freezer compartment. This function
accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at
the same time, protects foodstuffs already
stored from undesirable warming.
To freeze fresh food activate the
Frostmatic function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to complete pre-
freezing.
To switch on the function:
1. Press the Frostmatic switch for 2-3
seconds to activate the Frostmatic
function. The Frostmatic light will switch
on.
2. Place the food in the freezing
compartment and keep the Frostmatic
function switched on for further 24 hours.
Refer to "Freezing fresh food" section.
This function stops automatically after 52
hours. It is possible to deactivate the
function at any time by pressing the
Frostmatic switch for 2-3 seconds.
4.5 High temperature alarm
When there is a temperature increase in the
freezer compartment (e.g. due to a power
failure) the Alarm light is blinking and sound
is on.
The sound can be switched off at any time by
pressing the Alarm reset switch.
When normal conditions are restored the
Alarm light and the sound turns off
automatically.
4.6 Door open alarm
An acoustic alarm sounds when the door is
left open for around 80 seconds.
After closing the door, the acoustic alarm
stops.
In any case, press the Alarm reset switch to
deactivate the acoustic alarm.
5. DAILY USE
5.1 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 Frostmatic
function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Store the fresh food evenly distributed in the
first compartment or drawer from the top.
ENGLISH 9
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen without adding other fresh food during
24 hours is specified on the rating plate (a
label located inside the appliance).
When the freezing process is complete, the
appliance automatically returns to the
previous temperature setting (see "Frostmatic
function").
For more information refer to "Hints for
freezing".
5.2 Storage of frozen food
When activating an appliance for the first time
or after a period out of use, before putting the
products in the compartment let the appliance
run at least 3 hours with the Frostmatic
function switched on.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you want.
If large quantities of food are to be stored,
remove all drawers and place the food on
shelves.
Keep the food no closer than 15 mm from the
door.
CAUTION!
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 on rating plate under "rising
time", the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked immediately
then cooled and then re-frozen. Refer to
"High temperature alarm".
5.3 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
consumed, can be thawed in the refrigerator
or inside a plastic bag under cold water.
This operation depends on the time available
and on the type of food. Small pieces may
even be cooked still frozen.
6. HINTS AND TIPS
6.1 Hints for energy saving
• The internal configuration of the appliance
is the one that ensures the most efficient
use of energy.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than necessary.
• The colder the temperature setting, the
higher the energy consumption.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover
the ventilation grilles or holes.
• Make sure that food products inside the
appliance allow air circulation through
dedicated holes in the rear interior of the
appliance.
6.2 Hints for freezing
• Activate Frostmatic function at least 24
hours before placing the food inside the
freezer compartment.
• Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food
in: aluminium foil, plastic film or bags,
airtight containers with lid.
• For more efficient freezing and thawing
divide food into small portions.
• It is recommended to put labels and dates
on all your frozen food. This will help to
identify foods and to know when they
should be used before their deterioration.
• The food should be fresh when being
frozen to preserve good quality. Especially
fruits and vegetables should be frozen
after the harvest to preserve all of their
nutrients.
• Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids,
in particular drinks containing carbon
dioxide - they may explode during
freezing.
• Do not put hot food in the freezer
compartment. Cool it down at room
temperature before placing it inside the
compartment.
• To avoid increase in temperature of
already frozen food, do not place fresh
unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food
at room temperature in the part of the
freezer compartment where there is no
frozen food.
