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. Press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing): the
SUPER FREEZE indicator light will illuminate.
3. When the indicator light switches off, press the
SUPER FREEZE button. The freezer is now ready to
be used.

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 (the corresponding yellow
indicator light illuminates), place the food inside and
close the door. After 24 hours press the SUPER
FREEZE button.
- for large quantities which are greater than the
maximum load indicated on the data plate, hold down
the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button. After 24
hours place the food inside thr freezer and close the
door. After another 24 hours press the SUPER FREEZE
button.
Placing large amounts of fresh food in the freezer
may temporarily increase the temperature inside the
appliance (this is indicated when the red ALARM
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.
!
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).
b) the SUPER FREEZE button has been pressed.
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.
