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. Press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing): the
SUPER FREEZE indicator light will illuminate.
3. When the indicator light switches off, press the SUPER
FREEZE button. The freezer is now ready to be used.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to adjust the
temperature.
1 = warmest MAX = coldest
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 (the corresponding yellow indicator light
illuminates), place the food inside and close the door.
After 24 hours press the SUPER FREEZE button.
- for large quantities which are greater than the
maximum load indicated on the data plate, hold down
the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button. After 24 hours
place the food inside thr freezer and close the door. After
another 24 hours press the SUPER FREEZE button.
• 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.
• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the
freezer compartment, you may remove the bins and
place the food directly onto the evaporator plates.
If the top drawer is not
used DO NOT store
food beyond the line
embossed in the interior
of the freezer cabinet
wall. This indicates the
load limit. Food beyond
this line will limit the air
circulation and affect
the performance of the
freezer.
! 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 SUPER FREEZE button has been pressed.
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.
