Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation

instructions (

see Installation

! Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and

accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.

! The appliance comes with a motor protection control system

which makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes after

being switched on. The compressor also starts each time the

power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily

(blackout).

1. Insert the plug into the socket and make sure that the green

POWER indicator light illuminates (the TEMPERATURE

ADJUSTMENT knob must be in the OFF position).

2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an average

value and press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing):

the SUPER FREEZE indicator light

will illuminate. It will

switch off once the freezer has reached its optimal temperature.

At this point food may be placed inside the appliance.

Using the freezer to its full potential

• Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to adjust the

temperature.

MIN = warmest

MAX = coldest

is the optimal temperature for energy saving levels.

We recommend, however, a medium position.

• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already

been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten

(within 24 hours).

• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact

with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be

stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment.

• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which

are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they

could break.

• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is

indicated on the plate containing the technical properties

located within the freezer (for example: Kg/24h: 4).

• To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):

- for small quantities which are less than those indicated on the

data plate, press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button

(corresponding indicator light

illuminates), insert the food

and close the door. The function is disabled automatically after

24 hours or when optimal temperatures have been reached

(indicator light goes out);

- for large quantities which are greater than the maximum load

indicated on the data plate, hold down the rapid freezing

SUPER FREEZE button until the corresponding indicator light

begins to flash. After 24 hours the indicator light stops flashing

and remains on constantly. Place the food inside the freezer

and close the door. After another 24 hours, the function will be

disabled automatically (indicator light goes out).

! Do not open the door during freezing.

! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer

door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer,

ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect

the appliance from the electricity supply:

1. set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob on OFF ;

2. pull the plug out of the socket .

! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This

alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal

operation, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the

OFF position and then turn it back to the desired value. To

disconnect the appliance, follow point 1 and 2.

Cleaning the appliance

• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals

may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in

lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do

not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.

• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water

and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.

• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be

removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set

on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and

the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance.

Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours

• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which

are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator

and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be

covered or sealed properly.

• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period

of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.

with international safety standards. The following warnings are
