CAUTION!
If the ambient temperature is
high or the appliance is fully
loaded, and the appliance is
set to the lowest
temperatures, it may run
continuously causing frost to
form on the rear wall. In this
case the dial must be set to
a higher temperature to
allow automatic defrosting
and therefore reduced
energy consumption.

5. DAILY USE

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
5.1 Initial power on
CAUTION!
Before inserting the power
plug in to the outlet and
switching on the cabinet for
the first time, leave the
appliance standing upright
for at least 4 hours. This will
assure a sufficient amount of
time for the oil to return to
the compressor. Otherwise
the compressor or electronic
components may sustain
damage.
5.2 Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, before putting the products in
the compartment let the appliance run at
least 2 hours with the FastFreeze
function turned on. The freezer drawers
ensure that it is quick and easy to find
the food package you want. If large
quantities of food are to be stored,
remove all drawers except for the bottom
drawer which needs to be in place to
provide good air circulation. On all
shelves it is possible to place food that
protrude until 15 mm from the door.
4.6 High temperature alarm
In the event of an abnormal temperature
rise inside the freezer (e.g. power cut)
alarm light comes on.
When normal conditions are restored the
alarm light will switch off automatically.
WARNING!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for
longer that the value shown
in the technical
characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed
quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).
5.3 Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze small amount of fresh foods it
is not necessary to change the present
setting.
To freeze fresh food activate the
FastFreeze function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
Place the food to be frozen in the top
compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rating plate, a label located on the inside
of the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours:
during this period do not add other food
to be frozen.
