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

temperature.

MIN = warmest

MAX = coldest

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].

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect

the appliance from the electricity supply:

1. set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob on OFF ;

2. pull the plug out of the socket .

! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This

alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal

operation, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the

OFF position and then turn it back to the desired value. To

disconnect the appliance, follow point 1 and 2.
