to obtain

First use

However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in
mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends
on:

• room temperature

• how often the lid is opened

• the quantity of food stored

• the location of the appliance.

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.

Daily use

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food
and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24

hours is specified on the rating plate
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.

Important! 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).

Frozen Food Calendar

The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the ap­propriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or
lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends
on the quality of the foods and treating before freezing.

Helpful hints and tips

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;

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.

Periodic cleaning

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.

3. Regularly clean the appliance and the accessories

with warm water and neutral soap. Clean the lid seal
carefully.

4. Fully dry the appliance.

5. Connect the mains plug to the mains socket.

6. Switch on the appliance.

Caution! Do not use detergents, abrasive products,

highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes
to clean the inner side of the appliance.
Prevent damage to the cooling system.

Important! There is no need to clean the compressor area.

• 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 lid 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.

Defrosting the freezer

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness
of about 10-15 mm.
The best time to defrost the freezer when it contains no or
only a little food.
To remove the frost, do these steps:

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of

newspaper and put it in a cool place.

3. Leave the lid open until ice starts melting. Use a

scraper to remove ice quickly.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-

oughly. Close the lid.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum

coldness and run the appliance for two or three
hours using this setting.

7. Reload the previously removed food into the com-

partment.

5

Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
as you could damage the appliance. Do not use a
mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those recommended by the
manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.

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.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the
following precautions:

What to do if…

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.

3. Remove all food.

4. Defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories.

5. Leave the lid open to prevent unpleasant smells.
Important! 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.

Caution! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the

power supply.
Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do
the troubleshooting that is not in this manual.
