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.
USE
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the finish.
Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light will
light up, indicating that the appliance is in operation.
To stop the appliance, turn the thermostat knob to
position «0».
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob towards
minimum number or reduced (colder) by rotating the
knob towards maximum number. However, the exact
setting should be chosen keeping in mina that the
temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:
room temperature;
how often the door is opened;
the quantity of food stored;
location of appliance.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to
position «0».
Fast freezing
For quick-freezing, press the N/S knob (D).The
quick-freezing indicator light (C) will then light up.
If the quick-freezing function is not ended manually,
the appliance switch off the quick-freezing function
after 52 hours. The yellow light goes out.
The quick-freezing function can be ended manually
at any time by pressing the button (D) again.The
yellow light goes out.
Warning light
Warning light (E) lights up when the temperature
inside the freezer compartment has increased to a
value which might endanger 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.
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment is suitable for
long term storage of commercially frozen food, and
for freezing fresh food. Do not exceed the storage
times shown by the manufacturer on the
commercially frozen food packets.
If the freezer has already been working for some
time, press the N/S knob (D) at least 24 hours
before introducing the food into the freezer in order
to ensure better freezing results.
Place the food to be frozen on the bottom
compartment.

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 two hours on the quick
freezing setting, then return to the normal operating
position.
Important
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 refrozen (after
cooling).
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 (ali 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 fast a little longer.
Ice-cube production
Fill the trays with water to 3/4 of their height, to
permit the expansion of the ice, then put them in the
space below the quick-freezing compartment (see
the diagram). If the water in your area is rich in
minerai salts (limestone, in particular), we advise
you to use noncarbonated mineral water for the
production of ice cubes. The ice-cubes may be
shaken out of the plastic trays with a slight twist.

HINTS
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;
• 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;
• 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;
• The symbols on the drawers 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 pre-treating before freezing.
• do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks,
etc.) in the freezer compartment as they may
burst.
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.
MAINTENANCE
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
take the following precautions:
remove the plug from the wall socket;
remove all food;
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent
unpleasant smells.
Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore
only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
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.
Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or a vacuum cleaner.This operation will
improve the performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.
Defrosting
Scrape away the frost with the plastic scraper
provided with the freezer when this layer arrives to
approximately 4 mm in height. For this operation,
you do not need to unplug the freezer or remove all
frozen foods.Whenever the layer of frost exceeds 4
mm in thickness, you must proceed to a complete
defrosting. Take advantage of the periods when you
do not trave too much food in storage to do this by
proceeding as follows:
1. Empty the freezer and temporarily store the
frozen food removed in a cool place, wrapped in
several sheets of newspaper.
2. Set the thermostat to the «0» position or unplug
the freezer from the wall socket.
3. Keep the freezer door open.
4. Use the scraper together with a collecting tray
and insert it in the lower central part of the
freezer as shown in Figure.
5. The collecting tray should be positioned directly
below in order to receive the water which will exit
during defrosting. Afterwards, dry all freezer
surfaces with care.
6. Keep the scraper for future use.
7. Re-connect the plug and set the freezer to the
quickfreezing position. After two hours you may
replace the frozen foods previously removed.
Important
Never use knives or metal objects to scrape away
accumulated frost.
An increase in the surface temperature of the frozen
foods during defrosting will notable diminish the
duration of their conservation.
