Warning light
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can be
increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer)
by rotating the thermostat knob towards minimum or
reduced (colder) by rotating the knob towards
maximum.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping
in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator
depends on:
room temperature;
how often the door is opened;
the quantity of food stored;
location of appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
48
Warning light (E) lights up when the temperature
inside the freezer compartment has increased to a
value which jeopardizes the long-term storage of food
in the compartment.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time or
when food is placed in the compartment for freezing,
it is normal for this light to remain on until the
temperature has reached the level required for correct
storage.
Page 9
Freezing food
Set the freezer to quick-freezing operational status.
Wait at least 3 hours before introducing fresh foods
into the freezer if it has only recently been turned on.
If the freezer has already been working for some time,
turn the respective knob to the «S» position at least 24
hours before introducing the food into the freezer in
order to ensure better freezing results. This period of
time may be shortened according to the quantity of
food.
When quick-freezing is being performed, the
compressor works continuously, employing all of its
refrigerating power to the maximum.
Keep the knob as it is for another 24 hours after the
introduction of the food into the freezer and then
return the knob to the «N» position.
Bear in mind the freezing capacity of your freezer;
that is, the maximum quantity of food that may be
frozen in 24 hours.
This freezing capacity is 20 kg.
Distribute the packages as shown in Figure 7.
Arrange the foods to be frozen in the upper
compartment, so that these do not come into contact
with already-frozen products because the higher
surface temperature of the food to be frozen might
cause an increase in the surface temperature of the
already frozen products.
When the necessary freezing time has elapsed,
distribute the newly-frozen foods into the drawers to
free the compartment for new foods to be frozen.

Rules to observe when freezing
foods
All products to be frozen must be fresh and of
excellent quality.
Each freezing package must be adjusted to the
family’ s consumption quantity in order to be used just
once.
Small-sized freezing packages allow a more rapid and
uniform freezing.
Do not forget that once frozen foods have tha wed out,
they spoil rapidly.
49
Page 10
Low-fat content foods are better conserved in the
freezer than those with higher fat content. Salt
(whenever present) reduces the duration of
satisfactory conservation.
Foods to be frozen must be enclosed in air-tight sacks
or containers especially indicated for this purpose.
Close these sacks or containers tightly to eliminate all
air.
Never place bottles or cans of carbonated be verages in
the freezer. These might explode.
Never introduce hot foods or liquids.
Never fill the freezing sacks or containers with cov ers
to the brim.
Do not consume certain products (popsicles, etc.)
immediately after removing them from the freezer,
because their extremely low temperature might cause
burns.
Indicate the freezing date on every sack or container
as a means of controlling conservation times.
Never open the freezer door or introduce ne w foods to
be frozen whenever a Quick-freezing phase is already
in progress.
A special card is located in the holder on the inner
door of the freezer compartment. On the upper part it
shows pictures of different types of food followed by
a figure. These figures indicate the maximum storage
time, in months, for each type of food.
Details of food being stored, can also be written in
pencil on the lower part of the card.
Important
When electrical current happens to be cut off, the
freezer door must not be opened. If the power failure
is short (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer is full, there
is no risk that the food will spoil.
If the power failure lasts longer, the food must be
consumed as rapidly as possible, or otherwise cooked
and re-frozen again.
Cold accumulator
Fig. 8
A cold accumulator is supplied in the freezer; this
increases the length of time for which food will keep
in the event of a power failure or breakdown. It must
be placed in the top drawer.

Frozen food storage
Ice-cube production
When the freezer is being turned on for the first time,
or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the N/S
knob to the Quick-freezing position and then wait at
least two hours before introducing the food to be
conserved.
You may then return the knob to the «N» position.
This two-hour waiting period may be avoided if the
freezer has already been in operation.
Helpful hints
Always check the preparation date indicated on the
frozen foods you buy and respect the expiration time
provided by the producer.
Do not open the freezer door too often and leave it
open only for the minimum time necessary.
Unnecessary increases in temperature will notably
reduce the duration of the frozen food conservation.
Make sure that all frozen food packages are intact;
otherwise the food may have spoiled.
If such packages present signs of swelling or
humidity marks, this means that the food has not been
conserved correctly , implying that the product has lost
some of its original quality.
This appliance is equipped with trays for the
production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water to 3/4 of their height, then
put them in the freezer.
The ice-cubes may be shaken out from the trays by
simply twisting; do not use metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.
When buying frozen foods, carry them in a thermally
insulated shopping bag whenever possible. In any
case, always purchase frozen foods at the end of your
shopping. Wrap the frozen foods in newspaper and
then put them into the freezer as soon as you arrive
home.
Always check the frozen foods you buy carefully at
the moment of purchase, because even partiallythawed foods must not be re-frozen but must be
consumed within 24 hours of purchase.
Thawing-out frozen foods
Frozen foods must be allowed to thaw out before use
either in the refrigerator (meat, poultry , fish, etc.) or at
room temperature (all other foods) according to the
available time.
Frozen products which come in small-sized or
separate packages may be cooked directly without
thawing; obviously, in this case, the cooking time will
last a little longer.
51
Page 12
Defrosting
Frost should be removed with the special plastic
scraper provided, whenever the thickness exceeds 4
mm. During this operation it is not necessary to cutoff the power or to remove the food from the freezer.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing process other than
those recommended by the manufacturer.
If a thick layer of ice is formed it will be necessary to
carry out complete defrosting as following:
set the knob to «
from the mains socket;
wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper and
place the food packages in a cool place;
leave the door open. Introduce the plastic scraper in
the appropriate seating at the bottom center, as sho wn
in Fig. 9, place underneath a basin to collect the
defrost water.
When defrosting is completed dry the interior
thoroughly.
Keep the scraper for future use.
Turn the thermostat knob to the desired position or
replace the plug in the socket. After letting the
appliance to run for two or three hours on the quickfreeze setting, it is ready again for storing frozen
food.
