During the alarm phase, don't place food in-

FIRST USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accesso-
ries with lukewarm water and some neutral
soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important!
Do not use detergents or abra-
sive powders, as these will damage the fin-
ish.
DAILY USE
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the Action
Freeze function at least 24 hours before plac-
ing the food to be frozen in the freezer com-
partment.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rating
plate
16)
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be fro-
zen.
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 at least
2 hours on the higher settings.
Important!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, 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).
Frozen Food Calendar
The symbols show different types of frozen
goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in
months for the appropriate types of frozen
goods. Whether the upper or lower value of
the indicated storage time is valid depends
on the quality of the foods and treating be-
fore freezing.
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 inside).
Wait a few minutes before reopening the ap-
pliance. The vacuum valve will help you to
open the lid.
Warning!
Never pull the handle with im-
mense force.
Low frost System
The appliance is equipped with Low frost
System (you can see a valve inside the freez-
er in the backside) what reduces ice-build-
up in the chest freezer by up to 80 percent.
That means for you up to 5 years without de-
frosting.
Storage baskets
Hang the baskets on the upper edge of the
freezer (X) or place them inside the freezer
(Y). Turn and fix the handles for these two
positions as shown in the picture.
