FIRST USE
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.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the
finish.
Page 9
DAILY USE
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
The freezing (top) area is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deepfrozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food turn the Temperature
Regulator to "SUPER" position 6-24 hours
before placing fresh food in the freezer.
Place the food on the freezing shelf and
leave the Temperature Regulator in "SUPER" position for a further 24 hours.
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.
After 24 hours, return the Temperature
Regulator to "NORMAL" position. The
freezer will return to normal storage temperature. Place the frozen food in the storing (bottom) area to make room for another
freezing.
ENGLISH 9
If the Temperature Regulator is left
in the "SUPER" position, the freezer will not be damaged, but energy
will be wasted.
STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
freezer let the appliance run at least 4
hours with the Temperature Regulator to
"SUPER" position.
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 refrozen (after cooling).
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.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
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 pulsating
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"
of the temperature regulator. This is correct.
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;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• 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;
• lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food;
• 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.
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.
Page 11
CARE AND CLEANING
ENGLISH 11
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.
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 odor.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
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.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelf and around the freezing
area.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
About 4-5 hours prior to defrosting,
set the Temperature Regulator to
"SUPER" position, 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 remove the
freezing shelf. It is possible to scrape
off and remove smaller frost and ice
with a plastic scraper. Sweep off melting water and it can be removed if an
adequately high tray is put in front of
the appliance and the defrost water will
flow into it.
In order to speed up the defrosting
process, place a pot of warm water
in the freezer. In addition, remove
pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete.
4.
When defrosting is completed, dry the
interior thoroughly.
5.
Switch on the appliance.
6.
Turn the Temperature Regulator to a
"SUPER" position and leave to run for
at least 4 hours.
7.
Reload the previously removed food into the compartments.
8.
Return the Temperature Regulator to
"NORMAL" position.
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.
