but energy will be wasted and it will be automatically switched off 48 hours later. The
SUPER Indicator Light will also go out.
FIRST USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
DAILY USE
7
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartments (indicated with graphics) are suitable for freezing fresh food
and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the SUPER Quick Freeze function.
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.
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 on the higher settings.
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power
has been off for longer than 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).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
Helpful Hints and Tips

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound when the refrigerant is pumped
through the coils or tubing. This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you will hear
a whirring sound and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenomenon. This is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of the
temperature regulator. This is correct.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating
plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are
airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding
a rise in temperature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the
shortest possible time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
Care and cleaning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from
debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance
and save electricity consumption.
Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of
this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.

Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This
means that there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal
walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compartment, driven by an automatically controlled fan.
No-Frost technology
In order to facilitate the removal of the ice layer, the evaporator is assisted by electric
heating during the defrosting procedure. The ventilator is in OFF position. The defrost water will drip in the tray placed at the compressor and will evaporate. In the course of the
defrosting procedure (approx. 30 minutes) the evaporator becomes warm but it has no
influence on the internal temperature.
The foods should be kept well-packed in order to avoid any moisture loss as a result of
air circulation.
Do not obstruct the vent holes.
It is recommended to put all foods in the baskets in the freezer compartment.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
2. remove all food
3. clean the appliance and all accessories
What to do if…

4. leave the lid open to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the
food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
WHAT TO DO IF…
WARNING!
Before troubleshooting, disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do the troubleshooting that is not
in this manual.
There are some sounds during normal use (compressor, refrigerant circulation).
The appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean
being no current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance
before breaking the circuit.
