Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket. Move the ON/OFF
switch (A) to the ON position; it will light up to indicate
that the appliance is switched on.
Turn the thermostat knob, clockwise, beyond the «O»
(STOP) position.
The appliance will start to operate.
To stop the appliance, move the ON/OFF switch (A) to
the OFF position.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can be
increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by
rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or
reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher settings.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping
in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:
room temperature;
how often the door is opened;
the quantity of food stored;
location of appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to
position «O».

Fast freezing
To start fast-freezing food, press switch (D).
Warning light (C)
Warning light (C) lights up when the temperature inside the freezer compartment has increased to a value
which jeopardizes the long-term storage 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,
it is normal for this light to remain on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct
storage.
17
Freezing fresh food
To fast freeze food, if the appliance has been out of
operation, allow it to run on the fast freeze setting for
at least three hours before loading the food. If, however, the appliance is already in operation, set it to run
on the fast freeze setting for at least 24 hours before
loading the food.
Place the food to be frozen in the upper compartment
of the freezer as this is the coldest part.
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;
only freeze 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;
on the inner door or special card (if supplied) you will
find sketches of various animals and food types together with the recommended storage time (in
months) from the time of freezing;
do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in
the freezing compartment as they may burst.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let
the appliance run for at least three hours on the fast
freeze setting before putting the products in the compartment.
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
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.
Important
If there is a power failure when food is in the
freezer, do not open the door of the freezer compartment.
The frozen food will not be affected if the power
cut is of short duration (a temperature increase of
the frozen food shortens its safe storage period)
and the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is
recommended that the food should be used within
a short time.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room
temperature, depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for
the production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer
compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays
from the freezer.
18
Defrosting
In the freezer, frost should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness
of the frost exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
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 defrosting process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as
follows:
move the ON/OFF switch to OFF or pull out the plug
from the wall socket;
remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a very cool place;
leave the door open;
when defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly;
keep the scraper for future use;
move the ON/OFF switch to ON or replace the plug in
the power socket.
Set the appliance to run on fast freeze; after 3 hours,
set the switch back to normal operation.
Important:
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
19
MAINTENANCE
If the appliance is not functioning properly, check that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;
there is an electricity supply (find out by plugging in
another appliance);
the thermostat knob is in the correct position.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact the nearest service
centre.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you
apply for it you specify the model and serial
number of your appliance which can be found on
the guarantee certificate or on the rating plate located inside the appliance, on the bottom lefthand side of the refrigerator compartment.
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Periodic cleaning
Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
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.
