INSTALLATION

• Please refer to the chapter “BEFORE USING THE
APPLIANCE”.

• Unpack the appliance.

Ensure that the defrosting water drainage plug (if provided)
is correctly positioned (4).

• For best operation of the appliance and in order to avoid
damage when the lid is opened, leave a space of at least 7
cm from the rear wall and 7 cm at the sides.

• Fit the accessories (if provided).

• Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1.

Thermostat: it can be used to adjust the internal
temperature of the appliance.

2. Red LED (if provided): Indicates that the appliance

temperature is not suciently low.

3. Green LED (if provided): indicates that the appliance is on.

4. Yellow/orange illuminated button (if provided):

activates/deactivates the fast freeze function.

IMPORTANT: when using the product as a cooler please
check that the fast freeze function is not activated in order
to avoid bottle cracking.

The exact conguration of the controls may vary according
to the model.

Switching on the appliance

• The appliance is factory set for optimum freezer operation
at a temperature of -18°C.

• Plug in the appliance.

• The green LED lights up (if provided).

• Also the red LED (if provided) will switch on because the
temperature inside the appliance is not yet suciently low
for food storage. The red LED will normally switch o within
the rst six hours after the appliance is switched on.

• After connecting the appliance to the mains supply and
when the optimal temperature has been reached, ensure
that the fast freeze button is not pressed (the yellow LED, if
provided, is o ).

• Place food inside the product only when the red LED (if
provided) has switched o .

Note: As the seal is tight, the appliance lid cannot be
reopened immediately after closing. Wait a few minutes before
re-opening the lid of the appliance.

Temperature Adjustment

Use the thermostat to select the ideal storage temperature.
This product could be used both as freezer and as cooler.

CO Small

•

To use the product as freezer set thermostat in position
“freezer”. In this case the product must be used to store
frozen food, to freeze fresh food and to make ice.

Internal temperature could be set between -14°C and

-22°C (depending on the environmental conditions, this

1

range may vary slightly)

• To use the product as cooler set thermostat in position
“cooler”. In this case the product must be used to store fresh
food and beverages.

Internal temperature could be set between 0°C and
+6°C (depending on the environmental conditions, this

range may vary slightly)

• To turn o the product set thermostat in OFF position.

In this case the product is already connected to power
supply.

COOLER USE

IMPORTANT: when using the product as a cooler please
check that the fast freeze function is not activated in order
to avoid bottle cracking.

WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS NOT IN USE

Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply, then
empty, defrost (if necessary) and clean it. Leave the door
open, so that air can circulate inside the compartments. This
will prevent the formation of mould and bad odours and an
oxidation (blackening) of internal walls.

Before switching from freezer use to cooler use please:

1. check that frozen food is not present inside the cavity to

avoid unwanted food defrosting.

2. defrost and clean the product to avoid water stagnation on
the bottom.

Note: In the case of high levels of humidity, it is possible that
inside the appliance condensation may form on both the walls
and the bottom of the compartment. This is absolutely natural
and does not jeopardise the operation of the appliance in any
way.

FREEZER USE

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE

Before putting frozen food inside the cavity please check
that the product is set as freezer (see “Temperature
adjustment” paragraph) and red light doesn’t light up.

BEFORE SWITCHING FROM COOLER USE TO FREEZER
USE PLEASE CHECK THAT FOOD OR BOTTLES ARE NOT
PRESENT INSIDE THE CAVITY TO AVOID UNWANTED
FOOD FROSTING OR BOTTLE CRACKING.

Refer to the table on the appliance (if provided).
Classication of frozen foods

Put the frozen products into the appliance and classify them;
the storage date should be indicated on the packs, to allow use
within expiry dates.

In this case, we recommend closing any liquid lled containers
(e.g.: sauce pans full of stock), wrapping foods with a high
liquid content (e.g.: vegetables).

IMPORTANT: when using the product as a cooler please
check that the fast freeze function is not activated in order
to avoid bottle cracking.

Advice for storing frozen food

When purchasing frozen food products:

• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged packaging may have deteriorated).
If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not
have been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting
may have already begun.

• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.

• Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the
appliance.

• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.
Respect the best-before date on the package.

• Always observe the storage information on the package.

Note:
Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately.
Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has
thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.
If there is a long power failure:

• Do not open the appliance lid except to place ice packs
(if provided) over the frozen foods on the right and
left of the appliance. This will slow down the rise in
temperature.
