again. The yellow light goes out.

Warning light

This light ➃ warns when the temperature inside the appliance has increased so much as to jeopardize the preservation of food in the compartment. When the appliance is switched on for the ﬁrst time or when food is placed in the compartment for freezing, this light remains on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage.

Acoustic alarm

This appliance also incorporates an alarm which gives off a sound signal whenever the warning light comes on. This signal can be temporarily stopped by depressing the push button for fast freezing ➁. The fast freezing push button can be released as soon as the warning light is off.

The appliance also incorporates an alarm which gives off a sound signal when the door remains open for more than 60 seconds. To stop this sound signal close the door.

Freezing Calendar

The symbols on the drawers 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 pre-treating before freezing.

Storage of commercially frozen food

When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food.

Important If there is a power failure when food is in

the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 18 hours) and the freezer is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period).

Freezing of fresh foods

To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the quick-freeze setting for at least three hours before putting the food to be frozen in the compartment.

If instead the appliance is already in operation, it should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24 hours before the foods are put in the freezer. Once the foods have been placed in the freezer, the freezing operation can be considered to be complete 24 hours later. Once freezing is complete, the freezer should be reset for normal storage use.

Food to be frozen has to be placed in the appliance's two top compartments; if freezing only a small amount of food, use the top compartment.

The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be found on the bottom left-hand side. You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity of foods than the maximum indicated on the appliance’s rating plate.

Thawing

Before being used, deep-frozen and frozen food can be thawed out either in the refrigerator or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation. Small pieces of food, such as hamburgers, cutlets chips, and ﬁsh ﬁngers, for example, can be cooked straight out of the freezer, without any intermediate thawing operation. Clearly, cooking time will be marginally longer than in the case of thawed food.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with water to 3/4 of their height, then put them in the freezer compartment. The ice-cubes may be shaken out from the trays by simply twisting; do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

TIPS

Tips for freezing fresh foods

To help you get the best out of the freezing process, here are a few hints:

■ Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned

foods. Split them into small portions to speed up freezing and avoid having to thaw more food than you require. It is in fact important to remember that once the foods have thawed out, they deteriorate fast.

■ Another point to remember is that lean foods keep

better and longer than fatty foods. Salt too reduces storage times.

■ Wrap the foods in foil or polythene ﬁlm, ensuring

that the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well sealed. In this way, by avoiding contact with air, the colour ﬂavour and nutritional value of the foods remain intact.

■ During the freezing process, do not add further

foods for freezing and do not open the freezer door.

■ The foods for freezing should not be placed in

contact with already frozen foods, but put in the special freezing compartment. This will stop the temperature of already frozen foods from rising.

■ Never put ﬁzzy drinks in the freezer as they might

well burst.

■ In addition, never put hot foods or liquids in the

freezer compartment and take care not to ﬁll recipients up to the brim if they are covered with a lid.

■ It is a good idea to mark the packs with the date

on which freezing started so that you can keep a check on storage periods.

Tips for storage of commercially frozen food

To get the best out of your freezer, in the case of storage of commercially frozen food you should ensure that:

■ the products have been correctly stored by the

retailer;

■ that there is only a very short time between when

you purchase the products and when you put them in the freezer;

■ you do not store products for longer than the time

speciﬁed by the food manufacturer;

■ In addition, if the freezer has been out of use for

some time, before putting the products in the compartment let the freezer run for at least two hours on the quick-freeze (SUPER) setting. After this, reset the freezer for normal storage use;

■ Avoid opening the door too frequently and when

you do open it, leave it open only for as long as is strictly necessary;

■ A word of warning about ice lollies: they should not

be eaten straight out of the freezer as this might cause cold burns.

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

Warning

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4".

During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to carry out this operation when the appliance is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:

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

2. Turn the thermostat control ➆to the «■» setting.

3. Leave the door open.

4. Remove the three large drawers.

5. When defrosting is completed, remove the water

that has collected in the small bottom drawer and dry the interior thoroughly.

Keep the scraper for future use.

Warning

Never use metal objects for defrosting your

appliance as it may get damaged. 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 increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period.

Periodic cleaning

Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged. Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

MAINTENANCE

The appliance is equipped with an air inlet filter (1) and an air outlet duct (2) on the ventilation grid. Keep clean to guarantee good ventilation and good working order of the appliance.

The filter can be removed and washed with water, as follows:

1. Pinch flaps (a) and (b) with fingers

2. Pull the filter down.

3. Pull the filter out.

To replace the filter reverse the process. An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of

the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption. The structure of the appliance permits cleaning of the rear zone close to the wall, using a vacuum cleaner.

1. Remove the plinth (1), then the ventilation grid (2);

2. Carefully pull the air deflector out (3).

Periods of non-operation

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

remove the plug from the wall socket; remove all food: defrost and clean the interior and all accessories; leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent

unpleasant smells.
