Using The Freezer; Turning On The Freezer; Adjustment And Selection Of The Cooling Temperature - Smeg CVB20LNE Manual

6. USING THE FREEZER

6.1 Turning on the freezer

Note
Clean the inside of the freezer before use.
- Plug in the plug
- Turn the selector switch (4) to position 1-2.
- The alarm (3) will sound as the inside of the freezer is
not yet cold enough to put in food.
- Press the button (1) to start the "Rapid freeze" function.
The red light (2) will come on to indicate that the
function has been activated and the alarm (3) will stop.
- Once the freezing temperature has been reached, the
red light (2) will go out.
- Only put food into the freezer when the red light goes
out.
- When the red light goes out, press the button (1) again
to turn off the "Rapid freeze" function.
Note
It generally takes approximately 24 hours to reach freezing temperature. The surrounding
temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the location of the appliance can
affect the internal temperature of the freezer and therefore the amount of time required to reach
freezing temperature.
Attention:
When freezing temperature is reached, the "Rapid freeze" function must be turned off in order to
avoid unnecessary electricity consumption.
Note
Reopening the freezer door immediately after closing it may be difficult. Please wait 2 or 3
minutes to enable the low pressure which has formed to be compensated for.

6.2 Adjustment and selection of the cooling temperature

The selector located at the top of the freezer and visible when the door is open is used to adjust the
cooling temperature inside the freezer.
•
Position corresponds to turning off the freezer (the appliance is still supplied with electricity but the
green light will be off).
The operational settings range from 1 to 4.
There is no direct correspondence between the setting chosen and the temperature inside the freezer.
By selecting a higher number on the control, the temperature in the freezer will be lowered. Only select
the highest settings (3-4) if they are really necessary: the freezer will consume more electricity at these
settings. In normal conditions of use, you are advised to select a low to medium setting (1-2) which will
be sufficient for keeping fresh foods in the preservation area and deep-frozen foods in the freezer area.
Attention
The internal temperature of the freezer area is controlled by the main thermostat.
Important
Changing the climate conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the
door is opened can affect the operating temperature of the freezer.
