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.

1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the red

ALARM and green POWER indicator lights illuminate (the

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob must not be on

2. When the red indicator light switches off, turn the TEMPERATURE

ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium position. The freezer is now

ready to be used.

Using the freezer to its full potential

• Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to adjust the temperature.

1 = warmest MAX = coldest

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).

• Placing large amounts of fresh food in the freezer may

temporarily increase the temperature inside the appliance (this

is indicated when the WARNING Indicator light illuminates). This

situation, as it is only temporary, does not adversely affect the

storage conditions of food that is already frozen.

• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer

compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest

bin) and place the food directly onto the evaporator plates.

If the top drawer is not used DO NOT store food beyond the

line embossed in the interior of the freezer cabinet wall. This

indicates the load limit. Food beyond this line will limit the air

circulation and affect the performance of the freezer.

Load limit

indicator

! 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.

! Warning Indicator Light. When this red warning light comes on

for a prolonged period of time, it means that the freezer is not

functioning properly and the temperature is rising too much. (Call

your Service Centre).

This warning light might come on for a brief period when:

a) the door is left open for an extended period of time (when the

freezer is being loaded or unloaded).

In these two cases, the fact that the warning light comes on does

not indicate that the freezer is malfunctioning or there is a defect.

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

2. pull the plug out of the socket

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.

Defrosting the appliance

! Follow the instructions below.

Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost the

appliance as these may damage the refrigeration circuit beyond

repair.

If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost

manually:

1. Set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob on , which will

switch the refrigerator off.

2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another

freezer or in a cool place.

3. Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely. This

can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water

in the freezer compartment.

4. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to lead the

water outside: let the water flow into a container (see diagram).

5. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before

switching the appliance on again.

6. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal storage

conditions have been restored, before placing food in the

freezer compartment.
