Acoustic alarm

This appliance also incorporates an alarm which
gives off a sound signal whenever the warning light
comes on. This signal can be temporarily stopped by
depressing the push button for fast freezing ➃➃.
The fast freezing push button can be released as
soon as the warning light is off.

The appliance also incorporates an alarm which gives
off a sound signal when the door remains open for
more than 60 seconds. To stop this sound signal close
the door.

Freezing Calendar

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.

Storage of commercially frozen
food

When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.

Important
If there is a power failure when food is in the

freezer, do not open the door of the freezer.
The frozen food will not be affected if the
power cut is of short duration (up to 18
hours) and the freezer is full, otherwise, it is
recommended that the food should be used
within a short time (a temperature increase
of the frozen food shortens its safe storage
period).

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

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 ½sh ½ngers, 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 production

This appliance is equipped with trays for the
production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water to 3/4 of their height, then
put them in the freezer compartment. The ice-cubes
may be shaken out from the trays by simply twisting;
do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays
from the freezer.

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
appliance's two top compartments; if freezing
only a small amount of food, use 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.

Quick freezing

For quick-freezing, push the button ➃➃. The super
control light ➂➂will 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

➃➃

again. The yellow

light goes out.

Warning light

This light ➄➄flashes when the temperature inside the
appliance has increased so much as to jeopardize the
preservation of food in the compartment (warmer than

-12°C).
When the appliance is switched on for the first time or
when food is placed in the compartment for freezing,
this light flashes until the temperature has reached
the level required for correct storage.

Cold accumulators

The appliance is equipped with two cold
accumulators. If there is a power outage, they will
extend food conservation for a few hours.

TIPS

Tips for freezing fresh foods

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 times.

■ Wrap the foods in foil or polythene ½lm, ensuring

that the wrapping adheres closely to the food and
is well sealed. In this way, by avoiding contact with
air, the colour ¾avour 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 ½zzy 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 ½ll
recipients up to the brim if they are covered with a
lid.

■ It is a good idea to mark the packs with the date

on which freezing started so that you can keep a
check on storage periods.

Tips for storage of commercially
frozen 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

speci½ed 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.

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
authorised technicians.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment will become progressively
covered with frost.This should be removed with the
special plastic scraper provided, whenever the
thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4".

During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out
and it is advisable to carry out this operation when the
appliance is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:

1. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers

of newspaper and put it in a cool place.

2. Turn the thermostat control

➁➁

to the «■» setting.

3. Leave the door open.

4. Remove the three large drawers.

5. When defrosting is completed, remove the water

that has collected in the small bottom drawer and
dry the interior thoroughly.

Keep the scraper for future use.

Warning

Never use metal objects for defrosting your

appliance as it may get damaged.
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 increase of the frozen food
shortens its safe storage period.

Periodic cleaning

Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance
as it may get damaged. Clean the inside with warm
water and bicarbonate of soda. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.

MAINTENANCE

The appliance is equipped with an air inlet filter (1)
and an air outlet duct (2) on the ventilation grid. Keep

1. Pinch flaps (a) and (b) with fingers

2. Pull the filter down.

3. Pull the filter out.

To replace the filter reverse the process.
An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of

the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.
The structure of the appliance permits cleaning of the
rear zone close to the wall, using a vacuum cleaner.

1. Remove the plinth (1), then the ventilation grid (2);

2. Carefully pull the air deflector out (3).

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;
