BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Your new appliance is designed to be used in the
household and similar applications such as:
- kitchen areas in shops, oces and other working
environments
- farm houses
- by clients in hotels, motels, residences, bed &
breakfasts.
The product must only be used to store frozen food,
to freeze fresh food and to make ice.
Regulations require the appliance to be earthed.

FOOD STORAGE
Refer to the table on the appliance.
Classication of frozen foods
Load and classify the frozen foods; it is advisable
to indicate the storage date on the packs, to ensure
consumption before the expiry dates listed in months
in g. 6 for each type of food.
Advice for storing frozen food
When buying frozen food, make sure that:
• The packaging is intact (food in damaged
containers may have deteriorated). If a package
is swollen or has damp patches, the product may
not have been stored in optimum conditions and
therefore undergone partial defrosting.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until
last and carry them in a thermally insulated bag.
• On arriving home, immediately place the frozen
food in the appliance.
• Avoid or minimise temperature variations. Observe
the expiry date on the packaging.
• Always follow the storage instructions on frozen
food packages.
Note:
• Eat fully or partially defrosted foods
immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food
is cooked after it has thawed. Once cooked,
the food can be refrozen.
• In case of a prolonged power failure:
Do not open the appliance door, except
to place ice packs (if provided) over the
frozen foods on the right and left side of the
appliance. This will slow down the rise in
temperature.
PRECAUTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
• During installation, make sure the appliance
does not damage the power cable.
• Do not store glass containers with liquids inside the
product as they may break.
• Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after
taking them out of the appliance as they may cause
cold burns.
• Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning,
always unplug the appliance or disconnect the
power supply.
• Do not install the appliance in places exposed to
direct sunlight or near heat sources in order to
avoid increasing power consumption.
• Do not put aerosol spray cans or recipients
containing propellants or ammable substances in
the appliance.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable
liquids and gases in the vicinity of this or any other
domestic appliance. The fumes can create a re
hazard or explosion.
• Install the appliance in a perfectly horizontal
position, on a oor strong enough to take its weight
and in an area suitable for its size and use.
• Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated place.
The appliance is set for operation at specic
ambient temperature ranges, according to the
climatic class indicated on the data plate located
at the rear of the product (Fig. 7). The appliance
may not work properly if it is left for a long time at a
temperature outside the specied range.
• It is advisable to leave the appliance connected if
left empty even for short periods.
• Be careful not to damage the oors when you move
the appliance (e.g. parquet). To facilitate product
handling, it is advisable to empty it beforehand, if
possible.
Note: The appliance must be handled and installed
by two or more persons.
• Do not use mechanical devices or any means other
than those recommended and/or supplied by the
manufacturer to speed up the defrosting process.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the
product, unless such appliances are specically
recommended by the manufacturer.
•
The bulb used inside the appliance is specically
designed for domestic appliances and is not
suitable for general room lighting within the home
(EC Regulation 244/2009).
• This appliance must not be used by children
under 8 years of age, or by people with limited
physical, sensory or mental abilities or without
experience and knowledge of it, unless
instructed in its use by those responsible for
their safety.
• Do not allow children to play or hide inside the
product: risk of becoming trapped inside and
suocating.
• Power cable modication or replacement must
only be carried out by qualied personnel or
After-sales Service.
• Do not use extension leads or adapters.
•
Electrical disconnection must be possible either
by unplugging the appliance or by means of
a double-pole switch located upline from the
socket.
• Ensure that the voltage indicated on the
appliance data plate corresponds to the
domestic supply voltage.
• Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the
ice packs (if provided).
• Restrict the number of times you open the
door.
•
This appliance features “skin condenser”
technology: the condensing unit is integrated
into the walls of the freezer. For this reason
the side and front walls of the product may
become hot while the product is running. This
is entirely normal and also reduces the risk of
condensation forming in particularly critical
environmental conditions (see paragraph
“Troubleshooting guide”).
APPLIANCE DEFROSTING
The appliance should be defrosted when the
thickness of ice on the walls reaches 5-6 mm.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Remove food from the appliance and put it in a
very cool place or a thermally insulated bag.
• Leave the appliance door open.
• Remove the internal defrost water drain plug
(depending on model) (Fig. 8).
• Remove the external defrost water drain plug
(depending on model) and reposition it as shown in
g. 8.
• Use the separator (depending on model) inside the
product as a recipient for any remaining water, (D)
as shown in g. 8. If there is no separator, use a
shallow container.
• Defrosting can be sped up by using a spatula to
detach the frost from the appliance walls.
• Remove the frost from the bottom of the appliance.
• In order to avoid permanent damage to the
appliance interior, do not use pointed or sharp
metal instruments to remove the ice.
• Do not use abrasive products or heat up the
interior articially.
• Dry the inside of the appliance thoroughly.
• Ret the plug after defrosting.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Remove the frost from the upper edges
(see Troubleshooting Guide).
• Clean the inside after defrosting, using a sponge
dampened with warm water and/or mild detergent.
• Clean the side vent (if provided).
Unplug the appliance before carrying out
maintenance operations. Do not use abrasive
products, scourers or stain-removers
(e.g. acetone, trichloroethylene) to clean the
appliance.
To obtain the best results from your appliance,
carry out cleaning and maintenance at least
once a year.
CHANGING THE LID LIGHT BULB (if provided)
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains power
supply.
• Remove the diuser by following the sequence of
steps shown in the gure.
• Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with an
identical bulb of the same wattage and voltage.
• Ret the diuser and plug in the appliance.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
