Jotta tämän kodinkoneen toiminta ja turvallinen käyttö olisi jatkuvasti taattu:
- Vikojen sattuessa on käännyttävä yksinomaan tuottajan valtuuttaman huollon
puoleen
- Korjauksissa on vaadittava aina tehtaan omien varaosien käyttöä
Safety - a good habit to get into.

Organisation in charge of waste disposal.
Installation
To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to
reduce energy consumption, it is important that the
appliance is installed correctly.
Ventilation
The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than
perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the
appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with
an opening (window or French window) that provide the
appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important
that the room not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the
grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.
For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must leave a
space of at least 10 cm between the sides of the appliance
and any adjacent cabinets/walls.
Away from Heat
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly
exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.
Electrical Connection and Earthing
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure
that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located on
the back part of the freezer, corresponds to the mains voltage in your home and that the socket is fitted with a standard earthing wire in accordance with safety standards for
46/90 systems. If the socket is not fitted with an earthing
wire, the manufacturer will not be held liability for any damages and or injuries arising out of the use of the appliance.
Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.
Position the appliance in such a way that you can access
the socket where it is plugged in.
Insufficient power?
The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum
power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating
plate
located on the back part of the freezer
.

A Closer Look
Temperature Adjustment Knob
A
This knob makes it possible to adjust the internal temperature of the freezer with the following settings:
- Stop: the freezer is off;
- 1: Freezer is on low;
- 4: Freezer is on high;
By turning the knob from setting "1" to setting "4"
allows you to lower the temperature.
Warning Light
B
When this red warning light comes on for a prolonged
period of time, it means that the freezer is not functioning properly and the temperature is rising too
much. (Call your Service Centre)
This warning light might come on for a brief period
when the door is left open for an extended period of
time (when the freezer is being loaded or unloaded).
Power Supply Indicator Light
C
The green light will come on and stay on while the
appliance is connected to the mains and is operating normally.
Fast Freeze Indicator Light
D
This yellow indicator light will come on when the
freezing switch E is on the setting.
The freezing switch
E
When in position (yellow light "D" lit), allows
the compressor to function continuously in order to
reach the low temperatures necessary for the rapid
freezing of fresh food. When the appliance is
running normally, this switch should be the first
setting (opposite “”)

performance and to save energy.
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance
Tips on Freezing
- Remember that you should never refreeze products you
have allowed to thaw, even if only partially. Once thawed,
cook the food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or refreeze
it
- Consult a specialized manual when packaging foods
for freezing.
- For the best storage and thawing, remember to freeze
small portions. This will ensure rapid and uniform freezing.
Mark package with a description of the contents and the
date it was frozen.
-
Never freeze more food than that allowed by the maximum
freezing capacity indicated on the data plate which is located
on the back of the freezer.
- Turn the E switch to the setting (the yellow D light will
come on).
- To freeze food, make sure that the red light is off. Then
turn the fast freeze switch (E) to the setting (Super).
Then place the food to be frozen into the freezer, making
sure that it is placed, to the furthest extent possible, in direct contact with the side walls of the deepest part of the
freezer and not in contact with food that has already been
frozen. It should be kept in mind, in fact, that proper storage depends on the speed at which the food is frozen. For
this reason, we recommend that the switch be turned to
the setting 24 hours before the food to be frozen is
placed inside the freezer.
- Avoid opening the freezer door during the freezing process.
- Placing substantial amounts of fresh food in the appliance
may temporarily raise the temperature within the freezer
(the red light will turn on). Since this is a temporary situation,
it will not compromise the storage of the food that has
already been frozen.
- When foods are frozen, normally after about 24 hours,
always remember to return the fast freezing switch “E” to
its original position (yellow light “C” OFF) since this will save
energy.
Attention: Do not forget to change the temperature setting if you want to avoid useless wastes of energy.
- In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open
the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature
inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at
least 20 hours.
- Do not place full bottles in the freezer because liquids
increase in volume when they freeze and this could cause
the bottles to burst.
Storage
For best storage of fresh-frozen and frozen foods, do not set the
thermostat knob below 1, regardless of the ambient temperature
of the room where the freezer is installed. For ambient temperatures of up to 25°-27°C, the thermostat knob should be set between 1 and 2, while for temperatures up to 32°C the setting
should be between 2 and 3.
Follow the instructions on the packages of frozen foods scrupulously. If none are provided, do not store the food for more than 3
months from the date of purchase.
When purchasing frozen foods, make sure that they have been
stored at the proper temperature and that the package is properly
sealed. When purchasing frozen foods, it is best to transport them
in appropriate containers to keep them cold and then place them
in the freezer immediately.
If the package is damp on the outside or is abnormally swollen, it
is likely that the package was stored at an inadequate temperature and the food has deteriorated.

Energy Saving Tips
- Install the Appliance Correctly
This means that the appliance should be installed away from
sources of heat or direct sunlight, in a well ventilated room.
- Correct Temperature Settings
Set the freezer temperature knob to one of the medium
settings. Very low temperatures will not only consume a great
deal of energy, but will neither improve nor lengthen the
storage life of the food.
- Shut the Doors
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary - every
time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. In
order to restore the correct temperature, the motor will have
to run and consume energy.
- Check the Door Seals
Keep the seals clean and pliable so that they fit closely against
the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
- Avoid Frost Buildup
Remember to check the sides of the freezer for frost. When
the frost becomes too thick, defrost the freezer immediately
(See, "Caring for Your Appliance").
Caring for Your Appliance
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug orturning
off the general switch in your home).
Defrosting
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.
It is a good idea to remove the frost buildup from the inside
of the appliance from time to time.
Make sure not to use pointed metal objects to do so as this
could result in piercing the refrigeration circuits, causing irreparable damage to the appliance. Use the plastic scraper
provided with the freezer.
It is a good idea to remove the frost buildup from the inside
of the appliance from time to time.
To defrost the freezer completely (which should be done
once or twice a year), disconnect the appliance from the
power supply and leave the door open until all the frost has
melted.
To speed up defrosting, one or more pots of warm water
can be placed inside the appliance.
While defrosting the freezer, it is a good idea to wrap the
food taken from the freezer in several layers of paper and
place it in a cool place. Since the temperature of the frozen
food will inevitably rise, it is best to consume it quickly as its
storage life will have been shortened.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The inside of the freezer should be cleaned on a periodic
basis after it has been defrosted. Only use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appliance. Do not use abrasive cleaning products, detergents or soap. After the inside
has been cleaned, rinse well with clean water and dry carefully.
Once the appliance has been cleaned, turn on the appliance, following the instructions in "Setting Up Your Appliance."
When not in use
Should the unit not be used for a long period of time (for
example during the summer holidays), disconnect the plug
from the mains and leave the door open to avoid the formation of mould and unpleasant odours after completing the
defrosting and cleaning operations.

Troubleshooting
The Green Light is Off
Have you checked if:
••
• there is power to the unit?
••
••
• the main power switch to the house is on?
••
The Red Alarm Light is Always On
Have you checked if:
••
• the door is closed properly and the seal is still OK?
••
••
• the door is being opened too often?
••
••
• the temperature knob is on the right setting?
••
••
• there is too much frost buildup?
••
The Motor Runs Constantly
Have you checked if:
••
