neutral soap so as to remove the typical
5. DAILY USE
5.1 Freezing fresh food
The freezer (top) compartment is suitable
for freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food place it in the freezing (top) compartment and leave it there
for 24 hours
Move frozen food from the top (freezer)
compartment into the other two compartments (storing compartments). For maximum freezing performance remove the
top drawer (if the drawer is foreseen) and
then place the foods to be frozen directly
on the evaporator. In case of freezing
smaller food volumes you do not need to
remove the drawer.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat-ing plate, a label located on the inside of
the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to
be frozen.

compartment let the appliance run at least
8 hours on the higher settings.
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).
5.3 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.

of use, before putting the products in the
6. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
6.1 Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a
bubbling sound when the refrigerant is
pumped through the coils or tubing.
This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you
will hear a whirring sound and a pulsat-
ing noise from the compressor. This is
correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a
sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not
dangerous physical phenomenon. This
is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or
switches off, you will hear a faint "click"

6.3 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.
7. CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
7.1 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the
cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a
strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
7.2 Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the Temperature Regulator toward higher settings , in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:
1.
Switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains
socket.
2.
Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.
CAUTION!
Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3.
Leave the door open and insert the
plastic scraper in the appropriate
seating at the bottom centre, placing
a basin underneath to collect the defrost water.
In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm
water in the freezer compartment.
In addition, remove pieces of ice
that break away before defrosting
is complete.
ENGLISH9
4.
When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly and keep the
scraper for future use.
5.
Switch on the appliance.
6.
Turn the Temperature Regulator to
the Full Loaded position and leave to
run for at least 8 hours.
7.
After the Red Indicator Light has gone
out, reload the previously removed
food into the compartments.
8.

foods.
WARNING!
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.
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, during defrosting,
may shorten their safe storage life.
7.3 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1.
disconnect the appliance from electricity supply

The appliance should be installed well away
from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure that air can
circulate freely around the back of the cabinet.To ensure best performance, if the appliance is positioned below an overhanging
wall unit, the minimum distance between
the top of the cabinet and the wall unit must
be at least 100 mm . Ideally, however, the
appliance should not be positioned below
overhanging wall units. Accurate levelling is
ensured by one or more adjustable feet at
the base of the cabinet. If the cabinet is
placed in a corner and the side with the
hinges facing the wall, the distance between
the wall and the cabinet must be at least 10
mm to allow the door to open enough so
that the shelves can be removed.
WARNING!
It must be possible to disconnect
the appliance from the mains power
supply; the plug must therefore be
easily accessible after installation.
