Warning light
This light warns when the temperature inside the appliance has increased so much as to jeopardize the preservation of food in the compartment. When the appliance is switched on for the �rst time or when food is placed in the compartment for freezing, this light remains on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage.

Storage of commercially frozen food
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food. Important If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 18 hours) and the freezer is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period).
Acoustic alarm
This appliance also incorporates an alarm which gives off a sound signal whenever the warning light comes on. This signal can be temporarily stopped by depressing the push button for fast freezing �. The fast freezing push button can be released as soon as the warning light is off. The appliance also incorporates an alarm which gives off a sound signal when the door remains open for more than 60 seconds. To stop this sound signal close the door.
Thawing
Before being used, deep-frozen and frozen food can be thawed out either in the refrigerator or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation. Small pieces of food, such as hamburgers, cutlets chips, and �sh �ngers, for example, can be cooked straight out of the freezer, without any intermediate thawing operation. Clearly, cooking time will be marginally longer than in the case of thawed food.
Freezing Calendar
The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods. The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing.
Ice-cube production Freezing of fresh foods
To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the quick-freeze setting for at least three hours before putting the food to be frozen in the compartment. If instead the appliance is already in operation, it should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24 hours before the foods are put in the freezer. Once the foods have been placed in the freezer, the freezing operation can be considered to be complete 24 hours later. Once freezing is complete, the freezer should be reset for normal storage use. Food to be frozen has to be placed in the appliance's two top compartments; if freezing only a small amount of food, use the top compartment. The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be found on the bottom left-hand side. You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity of foods than the maximum indicated on the appliance�s rating plate. 6 This appliance is equipped with trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with water to 3/4 of their height, then put them in the freezer compartment. The ice-cubes may be shaken out from the trays by simply twisting; do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
