DESCRIPTION

This appliance has been designed to meet your require-

ments for freezing-in fresh and cooked food and for storing

frozen food.

These instructions will help you to get to know your new

freezer and to obtain the best performance from it.

INSTALLATION

− Check that the freezer is not damaged. You must report

any damage to your retailer within 24 hours of receipt

(Fig. ).

− Do not install your freezer near sources of heat, in res-

tricted, damp or badly ventilated space.

− Do not install your freezer adjacent to other appliances.

− The correct distance between the rear wall and the ap-

pliance

is ensured by the spacer, fitted on the lid hinge

(Fig. 2).

− Leave a 6 cm space between the side grid and the wall.

− Remove the side transit brackets placed between frame

and lid (Fig. 3).

− Leave the appliance to stand for one hour before con-

necting it to the electricity supply. In the meantime, clean the

inside (see chapter “Defrosting and Maintenance”).

LID SEAL:

Because the lid seal if very effective, it is not always possible

to open the lid immediately after closing it.

If this happens, wait a few minutes and then try again.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate corres-

ponds to the voltage in your home (Fig. 4-5-6).

The earthing of this appliance is compulsory by law.

The Manufacturer will accept no liability for damage to per-

sons or objects arising from the non-observance of this

requirement. If the appliance is f itted with an interior lamp, it

will light up when the lid is opened.

OPERATION

Connect the appliance to the mains.

− The green indicator

will light up, indicating that the

appliance is connected to the mains.

− The red pilot lamp

will glow, if fitted.

It will go off when the correct storage temperature is rea-

ched.

The red pilot lamp will also light up when the freezer lid has

been left open for a long time or when the freezer has been

loaded with fresh foods to be frozen.

THERMOSTAT

(Fig. 7)

The thermostat, placed on the control panel, automatically

regulates the temperature of the freezer and allows the

choice of the temperature best suited to your requirements

from position 1 (less cold) to position 3 (colder). To adjust

the thermostat use a coin.

As internal temperatures are affected by the location of the

appliance, the ambient temperature and the f requency of

the lid opening, we suggest you the following:

− Initially set the thermostat knob to position between 2

and 3 and then reposition it according to your requirements.

− In position

the compressor always runs.

Attention

For very high ambient temperatures, adjust the thermostat to

warmer positions (towards 1). For very low ambient tempera-

tures, adjust the thermostat to colder positions (towards

STORAGE OF FOODS

− Group products according to categories, storing above

foodwhichhavetobeusedfirst.

− Do not exceed the load line (if fitted) so as to leave

enough air flow between the lid and the packages.

USEFUL HINTS - BUYING AND STORING

COMMERCIALLY PRE-PACKAGED FROZEN FOOD

Make sure that wrapper or packet is intact as the food may

deteriorate. If a package bulges or sags or has spots of

moisture on it, it may not have been kept cold enough and

the contents may have lost their original quality.

When buying frozen food, it is suggested to use thermical

bags or cold boxes.

Contrarily, they should be the last purchases made and

should be well wrapped in newspaper.

When home, storethem in the freezer with the least possible

delay. Please note that any food, even if partially thawed

cannot be frozen but must be eaten within 24 hours. Any ap-

preciable rise in temperature of commercially pre-packaged

frozen food after purchase may shorten the storage life indi-

cated on the package.

STORAGE TIME

Commercially pre-packaged frozen food:

Follow the instructions of the food packet. I f no indication is

given, do not store more than 3 months.

Fresh frozen food:

Please refer to the calendar (Fig. 8).

FREEZING-IN (Fig. 9-0-)

− Check that the inner liner walls are not covered with a

thick layer of frost.

− 6 hours before loading fresh food to be frozen, turn the

thermostat knob

to the position.

− Prepare and wrap food into adequate packings such as

aluminium foils, plastic sheetings, plastic containers, etc.

− Label each packet and note the contents and the freez-

ing-in date.

− Store the packets so that as far as possible part of each

pack touches a refrigerated wall.

− Place fresh food in the freezer in such a way that they do

not come in contact with already frozen food.

− If you need to freeze-in the maximum quantity allowed (or

more than 10 kg) at one time, p lace part of the packets

against the refrigerated walls of the small compartment and

part against the refrigerated walls of the large compartment.

− Close the lid and leave the appliance in the fast freeze

position for 24 hours.

− Turn the thermostat knob to its normal operation setting.

Important

− Do not load warm food into your freezer.

− Do not store sealed bottles of fizzy drinks into the freezer

as the may explode.

DEFROSTING AND MAINTENANCE

Because the lid is not opened frequently and the food is sto-

red in sealed packs, the rate of frost build-up is very slow.

Frost reduces the efficiency of the freezer, so we suggest

you defrost when it is 3 - 4 mm thick approx.

To defrost, proceed as follows:

− 24 h prior to defrosting, switch on the fast freeze facility

so that food will be at a very low temperature when you re-

move it from the freezer.

After the aforesaid time:

− Disconnect the appliance from the mains.

− Remove the packets, wrap them in several layers of

newspaper and p lace them in the low temperature compart-

ment of your refrigerator.

Alternatively, place them in a carboard box in a cold place.

− Remove the plug from the hole at t he bottom of the liner

using the plastic scraper, if necessary, (Fig. 4) and place

the separator under the cabinet (Fig. 3) to collect

the de-

frost water, after having positioned the exterior plug

(Fig. 2).

− Leave the lid open.
