Starting your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The appliance
can be activated/deactivated by pressing the
ON/OFF button.When the pilot light
this shows that the appliance is on.
Temperature control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by
the thermostat
situated at the bottom of the cabi-
net .
To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control beyond the « » posi-
tion.
When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you
turn the thermostat control to a medium setting. For
easier turning of this control, use a small coin.
The internal temperature of the freezer is automati-
cally adjusted by the thermostat to ensure safe food
storage. However, if the appliance is working in
unfavourable room conditions such as high tempera-
ture and frequent door openings, it may be neces-
sary to select a more suitable setting.
To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat
towards max.; to obtain a higher temperature turn
the control towards min.
Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light
cates that the temperature within the freezer has
reached a level where the safe food storage is no
longer ensured.
When the freezer is first switched on, the warning
light will stay on until the temperature has dropped
to a safe level for the storage of frozen food.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 18 kg of
fresh food.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of
non-use, press the fast-freeze button
before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light
lights up).
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze
button should be activated about 24 hours before
freezing fresh food. This time can be shortened,
depending on the quantity of food to be frozen. After
the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in
the two top compartments of the freezer as this is
the coldest part; if freezing only a small amount of
food, always use the top compartment.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could
take up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze button to
the «OFF» position; the yellow light
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other
compartments, so that the top compartments can be
is illuminated
used for a further freezing operation.
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned foodstuffs.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is
already frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer
door remains closed.
Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
we strongly recommend that you make sure that the
commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately
stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that
these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the
foodstore to the consumer in the shortest possible
time (a temperature increase of the frozen food
could shorten its storage period).
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period
indicated by the producer of the food.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy
drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.
Water ices, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer, can possibly result
in a low temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if
your hands are damp/wet, as this could
cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer
burns".
If there is a power failure during the stor-
age of frozen food, do not open the door
during the whole time of the power failure.
If the freezer is fully loaded, the frozen food
will not be affected if the power cut is of
short duration; otherwise, it is recommended
to consume the food within a very short
time.
