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.

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
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);
- for large quantities which are greater than the
maximum load indicated on the data plate, hold down
the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button until the
corresponding indicator light begins to flash. After 24
hours the indicator light stops flashing and remains on
constantly. Place the food inside the freezer and close
the door. After another 24 hours, the function will be
disabled automatically (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.

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 ompletely empty and fill it with
water through the opening provided.
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX
WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes
from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt
and empty the tray).
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments
each mould fills with water (
see diagram
).
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the
tray back.
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately
8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet
the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take
them out through the opening.
