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 “ ”).
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the
“Super” position: the yellow SUPER 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 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 each day
is indicated on the data plate, which is located inside the
freezer (for example: 4 kg per 24 hours).
• To freeze food (if the freezer is already in operation):
- For small quantities measuring less than half of the value
indicated on the data plate, turn the TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT knob to the SUPER (rapid freezing) position
(the corresponding yellow indicator light will illuminate),
place the food inside and close the door. After 24 hours,
once the freezing process is complete, turn the knob back
to its normal operating position.
- For large quantities measuring over half of the maximum
value indicated on the data plate, turn the TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT knob to the SUPER position 24 hours before
placing the food you wish to freeze inside. After another 24
hours, once the freezing process is complete, turn the knob
back to its normal operating position.
! 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 ADJUSTMENT knob is turned to the
“Super” 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.
Ice

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, placing the top part in the corresponding
housing and allowing it to drop in again.
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.
