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.
