3. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the
temperature indicator will show again the current ACTUAL temperature inside the corresponding compartment. The temperature indicator will change from flashing to continuous illumination.
For a correct storage of the food the following temperature should be set:
• -18 °C in the freezer.
The following DESIRED temperature settings are possible:
Operating mode "Freezing": from -15 °C up to -24 °C in 1 °C steps
Operation mode "Cooling": from 0 °C up to 16 °C in 1 °C steps;
When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic
defrosting is currently taking place. As the storage temperature within the appliance is
reached quickly you can store food immediately after switching on.
"Freezing" or "Cooling" Function
If necessary, switch over the appliance between the operating modes "Freezing" and "Cooling".
To activate the function, do these steps:
1. Press the FROSTMATIC switch and the temperature regulator (warmest) simultaneously
for 5 seconds.
When the setting is switched from “Freezing” to “Cooling” FC (Freezing - Cooling) appears
in the temperature indicator, an acoustic signal confirms the change and the temperature
indicator changes to flashing figures (DESIRED temperature cooling mode +5 °C). Using
the temperature regulators, the required temperature for the cooling mode can now be
entered.
When the setting is switched from “Cooling” to “Freezing” CF (Cooling - Freezing) appears
in the temperature indicator, an acoustic signal confirms the change and the temperature
indicator changes to flashing figures (DESIRED temperature freezing mode -18 °C). Using
the temperature regulators, the required temperature for the freezing mode can now be
entered.
The operation mode, in which your appliance is at the moment, is identifiable if the temperatures can be set above or below 0 °C.
Set the temperature depending on the selected operation mode (see the section "Temperature regulation ") .
If you are using the appliance as a freezing unit, wait to add the food to be frozen, until
the interior temperature has attained -18 °C.
First use
If you are using this appliance as a cooling unit, after it has been used as a freezing unit
wait until the temperature has reached 0 °C before add the food to be cooled in the appliance.
"Standard" Cooling
By selecting the DESIRED temperature in the range of +5 °C, this appliance can be used as
a normal refrigerator.
Cooling drinks
By selecting the DESIRED Temperature up to +16 °C, the appliance can perfectly be used
as a cooling unit for drinks.
FROSTMATIC function
The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time,
protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming.
To activate the function, do these steps:
1. Press the FROSTMATIC switch.
2. The FROSTMATIC indicator will light up.
To deactivate the function, do these steps:
1. Press the FROSTMATIC switch.

An increase in the temperature in the freezer (for example due to an earlier power failure
or door is open) is indicated by:
• flashing of ALARM light
• sounding of buzzer.
When normal conditions are restored:
• the acoustic signal shuts off
• ALARM light continues to flash.
Stop the alarm light by pushing the ALARM switch.
When the ALARM switch is hold, the warmest temperature reached in the compartment
flashes on the temperature indicator.
First use
Cleaning the interior

Daily use
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deepfrozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the two top compartments.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
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.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least 2 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 refrozen (after cooling).
Freezing Calendar
The symbols 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 treating before freezing.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
Cold accumulators
One or more cold accumulators are supplied in the freezer; these increase the length of
time for which food will keep in the event of a power failure or breakdown.
Helpful Hints and Tips
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:
Care and cleaning
• 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 re-
tailer;
• 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.

What to do if…
10
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance
and save electricity consumption.
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 of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This means
that there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor
on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compartment,
driven by an automatically controlled fan.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
•
disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
• remove all food
•
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food
inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.

Mise en fonctionnement
1. Branchez la fiche sur la prise.
2. Appuyez sur la touche ON/OFF.
Mise à l'arrêt
1. Maintenez la touche ON/OFF appuyée pendant plus de 5 secondes.
2. L'appareil est mis à l'arrêt. L'afficheur s'éteint.
Afficheur de température
L'afficheur fournit plusieurs informations :
• En fonctionnement normal, il indique la température régnant momentanément dans le
compartiment congélateur (température RÉELLE). La température RÉELLE est indiquée
par un affichage fixe.
• En cours de réglage, il indique la température qui est momentanément réglée dans le
compartiment congélateur (température de CONSIGNE) La température DE CONSIGNE
est indiquée par un affichage clignotant.
Réglage de la température
Pour faire fonctionner l'appareil, procédez comme suit :
1. Sélectionnez la température souhaitée en appuyant sur le dispositif de réglage de tem-
pérature correspondant. L'afficheur indique immédiatement le réglage modifié (température DE CONSIGNE) et celui-ci clignote.
2. Chaque fois que vous appuyez sur le dispositif de réglage de température, la tempé-
rature DE CONSIGNE est modifiée de 1 °C. La température DE CONSIGNE sera atteinte
au bout de 24 heures.
3. Si plus aucune touche n'est sélectionnée après avoir modifié le réglage de la tempé-
rature, l'afficheur indique à nouveau après un bref délai (5 secondes environ) la température RÉELLE régnant momentanément dans le compartiment correspondant. L'afficheur passe d'un affichage clignotant à un affichage fixe.
Pour une conservation correcte des aliments, sélectionnez la température suivante :
• -18°C dans le compartiment congélateur.
Il est possible de régler la température de CONSIGNE comme indiqué ci-dessous :
Mode de fonctionnement " Congélation " : de -15 °C à -24 °C par paliers de 1 °C
Mode de fonctionnement " Réfrigération " : de 0 °C à 16 °C par paliers de 1 °C ;
En cas de modification du réglage, le compresseur ne démarre pas immédiatement si le
dégivrage automatique est en cours. La température de stockage dans l'appareil est rapidement atteinte, les aliments peuvent être introduits immédiatement après la mise en
service.
