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).

Freezing 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.

Opening and closing the lid

As the lid is equipped with a tightly closing
seal, it is not easy to reopen it shortly after
closing (due to the vacuum formed inside).
Wait a few minutes before reopening the ap­pliance. The vacuum valve will help you to
open the lid.

Warning! Never pull the handle with im­mense force.

Low frost System

The appliance is equipped with Low frost
System (you can see a valve inside the freez­er in the backside) what reduces ice-build-up
in the chest freezer by up to 80 percent. That
means for you up to 5 years without defrost­ing.

Storage baskets

Hang the baskets on the upper edge of the
freezer (X) or place them inside the freezer (Y).

Turn and fix the handles for these two posi­tions as shown in the picture.

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;

The separator may also be used as a tray
at the time of defrosting the freezer.

• 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.

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 , remove the plug from
the defrost water drain and collect all de­frost water on a tray. Use a scraper to re­move ice quickly.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in­terior thoroughly and refit the plug.

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 compartment.

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,

Sous réserve de modifications

• Ne laissez pas les différents emballages à

portée des enfants. Ils pourraient s'asphy­xier.

• Si l'appareil doit être mis au rebut, veillez à

couper le câble d'alimentation électrique
au ras de l'appareil pour éviter les risques
d'électrocution. Démontez la porte pour
éviter que des enfants ne restent enfermés
à l'intérieur.

• Cet appareil est muni de fermetures ma-

gnétiques. S'il remplace un appareil équi­pé d'une fermeture à ressort, nous vous
conseillons de rendre celle-ci inutilisable
avant de vous en débarrasser. Ceci afin
d'éviter aux enfants de s'enfermer dans
l'appareil et de mettre ainsi leur vie en dan­ger.

Mesures générales de sécurité

Attention Veillez à ce que les orifices de

ventilation ne soient pas obstrués.

• Cet appareil est destiné uniquement à la

conservation d’aliments et/ou de boissons
dans le cadre d’un usage domestique nor­mal, tel que celui décrit dans la présente
notice.

• N'utilisez pas d'appareils électriques,

d'agents chimiques ou tout autre système
artificiel pour accélérer le processus de
dégivrage.

• N’utilisez pas d'autres appareils électri-

ques (par exemple, sorbetières) à l'inté­rieur d’appareils réfrigérants sauf s’ils sont
homologués pour cet usage par leur fabri­cant.

• Faites très attention lorsque vous déplacez

l'appareil afin de ne pas endommager des

parties du circuit de refroidissement et ain­si d'éviter des risques de fuite.

• Le circuit de refroidissement de l’appareil
contient de l’isobutane (R600a), un gaz
naturel offrant un haut niveau de compati­bilité avec l’environnement mais qui est
néanmoins inflammable.
Pendant le transport et l'installation de
l’appareil, assurez-vous qu'aucune pièce
du circuit de refroidissement n'est endom­magée.
Si tel est le cas :
– Évitez les flammes vives (briquet) et tout

autre allumage (étincelles).

– Aérez soigneusement la pièce où se

trouve l'appareil.

• Ne modifiez pas les spécifications de l'ap­pareil. Un cordon d'alimentation endom­magé peut être la cause de courts-circuits,
d'incendies et/ou de décharges électri­ques.
