WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 Initial power on

2
1
CAUTION!
Before inserting the power plug in to the outlet and switching on the cabinet for the first time, leave the appliance standing upright for at least 4 hours. This will assure a sufficient amount of time for the oil to return to the compressor. Otherwise the compressor or electronic components may sustain damage.

5.2 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 2 hours with the FastFreeze function turned on. The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick and easy to find the food package you want. If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers except for the bottom drawer which needs to be in place to provide good air circulation. On all shelves it is possible to place food that protrude until 15 mm from the door.
WARNING!
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that 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).
ENGLISH
To freeze fresh food activate the FastFreeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Place the food to be frozen in the FastFreeze compartment.
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.
When the freezing process is completed, return to the required temperature (see "FastFreeze Function").

5.4 Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

5.5 Removal of freezing baskets and glass shelves from the freezer

The freezing baskets have a limit stop to prevent their accidental removal or falling out. At the time of its removal from the freezer, pull the basket towards yourself and, upon reaching the end point, remove the basket by tilting its front upwards.
9

5.3 Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze small amount of fresh foods it is not necessary to change the present setting.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the front of the basket to insert it into the freezer. Once you are over the end points, push the baskets back in their position.

The appliance is equipped with shelf stops to secure the shelves.
The shelves must be lifted up (1) on each side and than pulled outwards (2).
The glass shelves equipped with expander rollers are secured with locking pins.

6. HINTS AND TIPS

To remove them, loose the locking pin on each side on the expander roller. If necessary, use a screwdriver.
Afterwards pull out both locking pins (1) and pull the glass shelf outwards (2).

6.1 Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off.

6.2 Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

6.3 Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:
• 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;
• 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;
• 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.
6.4 Hints for storage of frozen
food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

7. CARE AND CLEANING

ENGLISH
• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;
• 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.

Some functional problems might occur for some types of models when operating outside of that range. The correct operation can only be guaranteed within the specified temperature range. If you have any doubts regarding where to install the appliance, please turn to the vendor, to our customer service or to the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

9.2 Location

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet. To ensure best performance, if the appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance between the top of the cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 100 mm . Ideally, however, the appliance should not be positioned below overhanging wall units. Accurate levelling is ensured by one or more adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet.

9.3 Levelling

Accurate levelling prevents the vibration and noise of the appliance during operation.
To adjust the heigh of the appliance loosen or tighten the two adjustable front feet.

9.4 Rear spacers

You can find the two spacers in the bag with documentation.
1. Release the screw.
2.
Engage the spacer below the screw.
3. Turn the spacer to the right position.
4. Tighten again the screws.

9.5 Electrical connection

• Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to your domestic power supply.
• The appliance must be earthed. The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact for this purpose. If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed, connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance with current regulations, consulting a qualified electrician.

3. Remove the plinth.
4. Remove the cap (A) and position it on
the opposite side .
5. Unscrew the lower hinge (C) and the washers (B).
6. Position the pin and the washers on the opposite side.
Do a final check to make sure that:
• All screws are tightened.
• The magnetic seal adheres to the cabinet.
• The door opens and closes correctly.
If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket. In case you do not want to carry out the above mentioned operations, contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre. The Authorised Service specialist will carry out the reversibility of the doors at your cost.
