Installation

! Before placing your new appliance into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. ! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.

Positioning and connection

Positioning

1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.

2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to operate correctly and save energy.

3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm between the sides and any furniture/side walls.

4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).

5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in the installation kit, following the instructions provided.

Reversible door

Levelling

1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.

2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by tightening or loosening the rear feet.

Electrical connections

After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following:  The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant

with the law.

 The socket can withstand the maximum power of the

appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located inside the freezer (e.g. 150 W).

 The voltage is in the range of values indicated on the

data plate located inside the freezer (e.g. 220-240V).

 The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If

the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation instructions (see Installation).

! Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.

! The appliance comes with a motor protection control system which makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes after being switched on. The compressor also starts each time the power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).

1. Insert the plug into the socket and make sure that the green POWER indicator light illuminates (the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob must be in the OFF position).

2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an average value and press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing): the SUPER FREEZE indicator light once the freezer has reached its optimal temperature. At this point food may be placed inside the appliance.

will illuminate. It will switch off

The function is disabled automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures have been reached (indicator light goes out);

- for large quantities which are greater than the maximum load indicated on the data plate, hold down the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button until the corresponding indicator light begins to flash. After 24 hours the indicator light stops flashing and remains on constantly. Place the food inside the freezer and close the door. After another 24 hours, the function will be disabled automatically (indicator light goes out).

! Do not open the door during freezing.

! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open

the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.

Using the freezer to its full potential

 Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to adjust

the temperature.

MIN = warmest MAX = coldest

is the optimal temperature for energy saving

levels. We recommend, however, a medium position.

 Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has

already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours).

 Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come

into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment.

 Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids,

and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break.

 The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily

is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located within the freezer (for example: Kg/ 24h: 4).

 To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):

- for small quantities which are less than those indicated on the data plate, press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button (corresponding indicator light

illuminates), insert the food and close the door.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:

1. set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL Knob on OFF;

2. pull the plug out of the socket.

! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal operation, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the OFF position and then turn it back to the desired value. To disconnect the appliance, follow point 1 and 2.

Cleaning the appliance

 The external and internal parts, as well as the

rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.

 The removable accessories may be soaked in

warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.

 The back of the appliance may collect dust which

can be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance.

Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours

 The appliance is manufactured with hygienic

materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly.

 If you want to switch the appliance off for an

extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.

Precautions and tips

! The appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully.

This appliance complies with the following Community Directives:

- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments;

-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;

- 2002/96/CE..

General safety

 The appliance was designed for domestic use inside

the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.

 The appliance must be used to store and freeze food

products by adults only and according to the instructions in this manual.

 The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in

covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms.

 Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or

moist hands and feet.  WARNING: do not damage the refrigerant circuit.  Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this

could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.  When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug

from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.  Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the

appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply.

It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment

knobs on OFF (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical

contact.  In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances

should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.

Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may

cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance.  Do not use utensils other than the scraper provided, or

electrical equipment which is not of the type specified

by the manufacturer, inside the frozen food storage

compartments.  Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into

your mouth.  Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play

with the appliance. Under no circumstance should they

be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang from the door.  Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It

can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

Disposal

 Observe local environmental standards when

disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.

 The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Respecting and conserving the environment

 Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated

room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not place it near heat sources.

 Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods

or opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy.

 Do not fill the appliance with too much food:

cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will work continuously.

 Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator.

The internal temperature will increase and force the compressor to work harder and will consume more energy.

 Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to

ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (see Maintenance).
