SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In the interest of your safety and to en­sure the correct use, before installing
and first using the appliance, read this
user manual carefully, including its hints
and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mis­takes and accidents, it is important to
ensure that all people using the appli­ance are thoroughly familiar with its op­eration and safety features. Save these
instructions and make sure that they re­main with the appliance if it is moved or
sold, so that everyone using it through
its life will be properly informed on ap­pliance use and safety.
For the safety of life and property keep
the precautions of these user's instruc­tions as the manufacturer is not respon­sible for damages caused by omission.

1.1 Children and vulnerable
people safety

• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with re­duced physical, sensory or mental ca­pabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been giv­en supervision or instruction concern­ing use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to en­sure that they do not play with the ap­pliance.

3. DAILY USE

3.1 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 FROST­MATIC function at least 24 hours before
placing the food to be frozen in the
freezer compartment.
It is possible to place the fresh food to
be frozen in all compartments except
the lowest.
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.

3.2 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.
The freezer baskets 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 basket which needs to be

in place to provide good air circulation.
On all shelves except for the top shelf it
is possible to place food that protrude
15 mm from the door.

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).

3.3 Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be­ing used, can be thawed in the refrigera­tor compartment or at room tempera­ture, depending on the time available
for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.

3.4 Removal of freezing baskets and wire shelves from the
freezer

Some of the freezing baskets have a limit
stop to prevent their accidental removal
or falling out. At the time of its removal
from the freezer, pull the basket towards

3.5 Cleaning the interior

4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

ENGLISH 9

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.

Check that the drain hose at the rear of
the cabinet discharges into the drip tray

4.1 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.

4.2 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.

5. CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION!

Unplug the appliance before car­rying out any maintenance oper­ation.

This appliance contains hydrocar­bons in its cooling unit; mainte­nance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.

5.1 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 odor.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save energy consumption.

Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.

by the front edge to avoid
scratching the floor.

damage the plastics used in this appli­ance. For this reason use a soft cloth
rinsed in warm water and neutral soap
emulsion for cleaning external surfaces.

Do not use detergents or abra­sive paste as these will damage
the paint, or stainless steel anti
finger print coating.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment
to the mains supply.

5.2 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.

5.3 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
