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.
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
red ALARM and green POWER indicator lights
illuminate (the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob
must not be on ).
2. Press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing):
the SUPER FREEZE indicator light will illuminate.
3. When the indicator light switches off, press the
SUPER FREEZE button. The freezer is now ready to
be used.
Using the freezer to its full potential
Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to adjust
the temperature.

MAX

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 (the corresponding yellow
indicator light illuminates), place the food inside and
close the door. After 24 hours press the SUPER
FREEZE button.
- for large quantities which are greater than the
maximum load indicated on the data plate, hold
down the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button.
After 24 hours place the food inside thr freezer and
close the door. After another 24 hours press the
SUPER FREEZE button.
!
Remember to carry out this last step in order to
save energy.
Placing large amounts of fresh food in the freezer
may temporarily increase the temperature inside
the appliance (this is indicated when the red
ALARM light illuminates). This situation, as it is only
temporary, does not adversely affect the storage
conditions of food that is already frozen.
In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the
freezer compartment, you may remove the bins
(except the lowest bin) and place the food directly
onto the evaporator plates.
If the top drawer is not used DO NOT store food
beyond the line
embossed in the
interior of the freezer
cabinet wall. This
indicates the load
limit. Food beyond
this line will limit the
air circulation and
affect the
performance of the
freezer.
!
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.
!
Warning Indicator Light. When this red warning light
comes on for a prolonged period of time, it means that
the freezer is not functioning properly and the
temperature is rising too much. (Call your Service
Centre)
This warning light might come on for a brief period
when:
a) the door is left open for an extended period of time
(when the freezer is being loaded or unloaded).
b) the SUPER FREEZE button has been pressed.
In these two cases, the fact that the warning light
comes on does not indicate that the freezer is
malfunctioning or there is a defect.
