FIRST USE
5.1
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal ac-
cessories with lukewarm 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.

DAILY USE
6.1
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rat-
ing plate
2)
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: dur-
ing this period do not add other food to
be frozen.
6.2
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run for 24
hours with the Temperature Regulator to
the Full Loaded position.
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off
for longer than the value shown in
the technical characteristics chart
under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then
re-frozen (after cooling).
6.3
Opening and closing the lid
As the lid is equipped with a tightly closing
seal, it is not easy to reopen it shortly after
closing (due to the vacuum formed in-
side).
Wait a few minutes before reopening the
appliance. The vacuum valve will help you
to open the lid.
WARNING!
Never pull the handle with im-
mense force.
6.4
Storage baskets
A
B
Hang the baskets on the upper edge of
the freezer (A) or place them inside the
freezer (B). Turn and fix the handles for
these two positions as shown in the pic-
ture.
