The temperature is controlled via the electronic panel located at the top of the appliance. Use the controls to set your desired freezing temperature. The recommended temperature for optimal food preservation is -18°C.

Figure 3: Control panel with temperature settings and Super-freezing function.
3.2 Super-Freezing Function
Activate the Super-Freezing function when adding a large quantity of fresh food to the freezer. This rapidly lowers the temperature to freeze items quickly, preserving their nutrients and texture. The function automatically deactivates after a set period or when the optimal temperature is reached.
3.3 Tecnoloxía NoFrost
The NoFrost system prevents ice build-up inside the freezer, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. This technology circulates dry, cold air evenly throughout the compartment, ensuring consistent temperatures and preventing frost formation on food and interior surfaces.

3.4 VarioZone and BigBox Storage
Your freezer features VarioZone, allowing flexible arrangement of the interior. The glass shelves between the drawers can be removed to create larger storage spaces. The BigBox drawers are extra-deep for storing bulky items like whole poultry or large frozen pizzas.
