To safely store frozen and deep-frozen foods, the
inner temperature of the freezer must be at least
–18 ° C or colder.
Therefore, we suggest you turn the knob «E» to
a medium setting.
The temperature inside the freezer is
automatically adjusted to ensure safe storage of
the food.
However if the appliance works in unfavourable
room conditions such as poor ventilation, high
ambient temperature and frequent door
openings, it might be necessary to select a more
suitable setting.

Warning light «D»
This light warns when the temperature inside the
freezer compartment has increased so much as
to jeopardize the preservation 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, this light remains on until the
temperature has reached the level required for
correct storage.

Freezing of fresh foods
To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not
been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on
the quick-freeze setting for at least three hours
before putting the food to be frozen in the
compartment.
If instead the appliance is already in operation, it
should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24
hours before the foods are put in the freezer. Once
the foods have been placed in the freezer, the
freezing operation can be considered to be
complete 24 hours later.
Once freezing is complete, the freezer should be
reset for normal storage use.
Food to be frozen has to be placed in the top
compartment.
The maximum amount of food which is freezable in
24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be
found on the bottom left-hand side.
You should never freeze all at once a greater
quantity of foods than the maximum indicated on the
appliance’s rating plate.
To help you get the best out of the freezing process,
here are a few hints:
Freeze only good-quality , fresh and well-cleaned
foods.
Split them into small portions to speed up freezing
and avoid having to thaw more food than you
require.
It is in fact important to remember that once the
foods have thawed out, they deteriorate fast.
Another point to remember is that lean foods keep
better and longer than fatty foods. Salt too reduces
storage time.
Wrap the foods in foil or polythene film, ensuring that
the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well
sealed.
In this way , by avoiding contact with air, the colour
flavour and nutritional value of the foods remain
intact.
During the freezing process, do not add further
foods for freezing and do not open the freezer door.
The foods for freezing should not be placed in
contact with already frozen foods, but put in the
special freezing compartment. This will stop the
temperature of already frozen foods from rising.
Never put fizzy drinks in the freezer as they might
well burst.
In addition, never put hot foods or liquids in the
freezer compartment and take care not to fill
recipients up to the brim if they are covered with a
lid.
It is a good idea to mark the packs – or the cards on
the sliding drawers if your model has them with the
date on which freezing started so that you can keep
a check on storage periods.
If accidental thawing occurs – due to a power cut for
example – the foods must be used up very quickly or
else cooked immediately and refrozen. If, however,
the power failure is relatively brief (from 6 to 8 hours)
and the freezer compartment is packed full, the
frozen foods will not suffer any damage.
On the inner freezer door you will find schematic
drawings of foods and animals indicating maximum
storage time (in months) possible from the time of
freezing.
Storage of commercially fr ozen food
To get the best out of your freezer, in the case of
storage of commercially frozen food you should
ensure that:
the products have been correctly stored by the
retailer;
that there is only a very short time between when
you purchase the products and when you put them
in the freezer;
you do not store products for longer than the time
specified by the food manufacturer.
In addition, if the freezer has been out of use for
some time, before putting the products in the
compartment let the freezer run for at least two
hours on the quick-freeze (SUPER) setting. After
this, reset the freezer for normal storage use.
Avoid opening the door too frequently and when you
do open it, leave it open only for as long as is strictly
necessary .
A word of warning about ice lollies: they should not
be eaten straight out of the freezer as this might
cause cold burns.
If there happens to be a power failure do not open
the freezer door. If the freezer is completely full,
frozen products will not be affected. Otherwise they
should be used up very quickly .
Thawing
Before being used, deep-frozen and frozen food can
be thawed out either in the refrigerator or at room
temperature, depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces of food, such as hamburgers, cutlets
chips, and fish fingers, for example, can be cooked
straight out of the freezer, without any intermediate
thawing operation.
Clearly , cooking time will be marginally longer than
in the case of thawed food.
Ice cube trays
The appliance includes one tray for producing ice
cubes. This tray should be filled with drinkable water
and repositioned inside the compartment. Do not
use metal tools to remove the tray when it is stuckfrozen inside the compartment.

MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance
operation, always disconnect the plug from
the wall socket.
Defrosting
In the freezer compartment , the frost
should be removed with the special plastic
scraper provided, whenever the thickness
exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not
necessary to cut-off the power or to remove the
food from the freezer.
Do not use metal tools to remove frost so as
to avoid seriously damaging the appliance.
If a thick layer of ice is formed it will be necessary
to carry out complete defrosting as following:
ª
set the knob «E» to «
appliance from the mains socket;
» position or unplug the
GB
defrost and clean the interior and all
accessories;
leave the door slightly open, thus letting air
circulate and preventing the formation of mould
and unpleasant smells.
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 shown in Fig. 4, place underneath a
basin to collect the defrost water.
When defrosting is completed dry the interior
thoroughly.
Turn the thermostat knob «E» to the desired
position or replace the plug in the socket. After
letting the appliance to run for two or three hours
on the quick-freeze setting, it is ready again for
storing frozen food.
Periodical cleaning
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm
water and sodium bicarbonate.
Clean cabinet outer surfaces with a silicone-wax
spray.
The condenser and compressor should be
cleaned using a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This
latter operation will maintain the appliance’s
excellent standards of performance and save
energy.

SOMETHING NOT WORKING
If the appliance is not functioning properly check
that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;
there is no power failure; the control knob is in
the right position.
GB
Furthermore:
if the appliance seems too noisy check that the
sides are not touching furniture that can transmit
or amplify a noise or a vibration. Also, check that
the piping of the refrigerant system does not
vibrate.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact your local
dealer or the nearest service center.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that
when you apply for it you specify the model
and serial number of your appliance which
can be found inside the appliance at the
bottom on the left hand side.
