•to obtain the maximum coldness. turn the Temperature Regulator toward higher settings.

In case of freezing less food volumes, the Half Loaded setting is the most suitable. In case of freezing much food volumes, the Full Loaded setting is the most suitable.

3.5 High temperature alarm

An increase in the temperature in the freezer (for example due to a power failure) is indicated by switching on of the Alarm light .

During the alarm phase, don't place food inside the freezer.

When normal conditions are restored, the Alarm light will switch off automatically.

4. DAILY USE

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

4.1 Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.

The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate (refer to "Technical data").

The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

4.2 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 24 hours Temperature Regulator to the Full Loaded position.

CAUTION!

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).

4.3 Opening and closing the lid

CAUTION!

Never pull the handle with immense force.

As the lid is equipped with a tightly closing seal, it is not easy to reopen it shortly after closing (due to the vacuum formed inside). Wait for few minutes before reopening the appliance.

The vacuum valve will help you to open the lid.

5.HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some hints:

•The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.

•The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period.

•Freeze only 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.

6.CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

6.1 Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brandnew product, then dried thoroughly.

CAUTION!

Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish.

•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.

5.2Hints 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 store to the freezer in the shortest possible time;

•not open the lid 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.

6.2 Periodic cleaning

CAUTION!

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

Do not use detergents, abrasive products, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the inner side of the appliance. Prevent damage to the cooling system.

There is no need to clean the compressor area.

1. Switch off the appliance.

2.Regularly clean the appliance and the accessories with warm water and neutral soap.

Clean the lid seal carefully.

3.Fully dry the appliance.

4.Connect the mains plug to the mains socket.

5.Switch on the appliance.

6.3 Defrosting the freezer

CAUTION!

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost as you could damage the appliance. 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.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 10-15 mm.

The amount of frost on the walls of the appliance will be increased by the high level of the outer environment humidity and if the frozen food is not wrapped properly.

The best time to defrost the freezer when it contains no or only a little food.

ENGLISH 9

1.Switch off the appliance.

2.Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.

3.Leave the lid open , remove the plug from the defrost water drain and collect all defrost water on a tray.

4.When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly and refit the plug.

5.Switch on the appliance.

6.Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum coldness and run the appliance for two or three hours using this setting.

7.Reload the previously removed food into the compartment.

6.4 Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:

1.Switch off the appliance and disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.

2.Remove all food

3.Defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories.

4.Leave the lid open 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.
