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 ADJUSTMENT knob must not be
on “0”).
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the
“Fast Freeze” position: the yellow FAST FREEZE
indicator light will illuminate.
3. When the red indicator light switches off, turn the
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium
position. The freezer is now ready to be used.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL 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).
Freezig
1. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the
“Fast Freeze” position (the yellow FAST FREEZE
indicator light should be on).
2. Place the fresh food you wish to freeze inside the upper
FREEZER and STORAGE compartment, making sure it
is not in contact with food that has already been frozen
and, if possible, position it so that it is in direct contact
with the cooling shelves. Bear in mind that for food to
be frozen and stored in good condition, the freezing
process should take place quickly. For this reason, we
recommend that you turn the knob to the “Fast Freeze”
position 24 hours before placing fresh food in the
freezer. This action is necessary when freezing large
quantities of food (up to the maximum amount indicated
on the data plate).
3. 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.
4. After 24 hours, once the freezing process is complete,
return the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to its
normal operating position.
! remember to readjust the temperature in order to avoid
wasting energy.
! Do not open the door during freezing.
Storage
• Follow the instructions given on the packaging of frozen
food carefully and consume the products within 3
months of the date they were bought.
• When buying frozen food, ensure that it has been stored
at a suitable temperature and that the packaging is
intact. To maintain the quality of frozen food, use
suitable bags or containers when transporting it and
place it inside the freezer as soon as possible.
• If the packaging shows signs of moisture or unusual
swelling, it is likely that the product has been stored
previously at an unsuitable temperature and that the
contents have suffered as a result.
• In order to obtain a larger amount of space in the
freezer, you can remove the central drawer, and place
the food directly onto the evaporator plate. Make sure
that, after having inserted the load, the door closes
correctly.
! 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.
