Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash
the interior and all internal accessories with luke-
warm water and some neutral soap so as to remove
the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the finish.

Starting
Insert the power supply plug into the nearest wall
socket (the function indicator light (A) will light up
indicating that the freezer is receiving electrical
input). Turn the thermostat knob (E) to the right to a
medium setting (the temperature alarm light (C) will
light up). For the satisfactory conservation of frozen
foods, the freezerÕs internal temperature must be
lower than -18¡C. Wait until the temperature alarm
light (C) turns off when the optimum temperature
has been reached. Thermostat settings may be
modified according to the surrounding room
temperature, the location of the freezer and the
frequency of door openings, etc. To turn off the
freezer, turn the thermostat knob to the aOÈ
position. The refrigerator compartment will remain
operating.
Quick-freezing
For quick-freezing, turn the N/S knob (D) to the ÇSÈ
symbol. The quick-freezlng indlcator light (B) will
then light up.
Warning light
Warning light (A) lights up when the temperature
inside the freezer compartment has increased to a
value which jeopardizes the long-term storage of
food in the compartment. When the appliance is
switched on for the first time or when food is placed
in the compartment for freezing, it is normal for this
light to remain on until the temperature has reached
the level required for correct storage.
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment
is suitable for
long term storage of commercially frozen food, and
for freezing fresh food. Do not exceed the storage
times shown by the manufacturer on the
commercially frozen food packets.Under normal
circumstances, to freeze fresh foods it is not
necessary to change the setting of the hermostat
knob with respect to the normal running position.
Depress the ambient switch at least 3 hours before
loading food to be frozen.
However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the
thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but
remember that, in this condition, the refrigerating
compartment temperature might drop below 0¡C. If
this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer
setting.
To help you make the most of the freezing process,
here are some important hints:
Place the food to be frozen in the top basket of the
freezing compartment as this is the coldest part.
