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
green POWER indicator light illuminates (the
TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob must not be on
0).
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to the “Fast
Freeze” setting (the yellow FAST FREEZE Indicator
light will come on).
3. When the red WARNING
Indicator light turns off, turn the
TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to one of the normal
settings. At this point, the freezer is ready for use.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the
temperature ( see Description).
• 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 where the temperature drops
below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
• 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):
- Turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL Knob to the
“Fast Freeze” setting (the yellow FAST FREEZE
Indicator light will come on).
- Place the fresh food that is being frozen into the top
FREEZING and STORAGE compartment, making sure
not to place them near food that has already been
frozen, but preferably in contact with the cooling
surfaces. In fact, proper food storage depends on the
speed at which the fresh food is frozen. For this
reason, we suggest that the temperature knob be
placed on the “Fast Freeze” setting 24 hours before
fresh food is placed in the appliance to be frozen.
This operation is necessary for large quantities of
food (up to the maximum capacity indicated on the
data plate).
! 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 TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob is turned to the
“Fast Freeze” setting.
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.
