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 TEMPERATURE indicator light illuminates. If the
temperature indicator light doesn’t illuminate, press the ON/
OFF button.
2 Set the TEMPERATURE indicator lights to an average value
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL button to set the
temperature value
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 QUICK FREEZE
button (corresponding indicator light illuminates), insert
the food and close the door. The function is disabled
automatically after 24 hours
!
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.
!
In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer
compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest
bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an
adjustabletemperature) and place the food directly onto the
racks/glass shelves supplied [where present].

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect
the appliance from the electricity supply:
