Installation
!
Before placing your new appliance into operation
please read these operating instructions carefully. They
contain important information for safe use, for installation
and for care of the appliance.
!
Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the
appliance.
Positioning and connection
Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and
condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to operate
correctly and save energy.
3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of the
appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm between
the sides and any furniture/side walls.
4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct
sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the appliance
and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in the installation
kit, following the instructions provided.
Levelling
1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by
tightening or loosening the rear feet.
Electrical connections
After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it
vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the
electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket
ensure the following:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance,
which is indicated on the data plate located inside the freezer
(e.g. 150 W).
• The voltage is in the range of values indicated on the data plate
located inside the freezer (e.g. 220-240V).
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the
socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised
technician to replace it (
see Assistance
). Do not use extension
cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable
and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised
technicians only (see Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety
measures not be observed.
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

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);
!
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].
Ice
3
ice tray
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer
drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into
contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment;
furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid
to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up. Check that the tray is completely
empty and fill it with water through the opening provided.
