inside compartment temperature.
The newly selected-temperature must be
reached after 24 hours.

Caution! During the stability period by
the first starting the temperature
displayed can not correspond to the
setting temperature.

Temperature indicator

During normal functioning the Temperature
indicator shows the temperature inside the
freezer.

Important! Difference between the
temperature displayed and temperature
setting is normal. Especially when:

• a new setting has recently been selected.

• the door has been left open for a long time.

inside the freezer (e.g. power cut) Alarm light
will start to flash and a buzzer will sound.
After the temperature has returned to nor­mal, the Alarm light will continue to flash, al­though the buzzer has stopped.
When the Alarm reset switch is pressed, the
warmest temperature reached in the com­partment flashes on the Temperature indica­tor .

First use

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accessories
with lukewarm water and some neutral soap
so as to remove the typical smell of a brand­new product, then dry thoroughly.

Daily use

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 fresh food activate the Super Frost
function at least 24 hours before placing the
foo d to be fro ze n i n the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the two
top compartments.
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.

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 on the higher settings.

Important! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for longer
than the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after
cooling).

If the power has been off for a long time, fro­zen food should be consumed as quickly as
possible, or cooked and then re-frozen.

Door open alarm

An acoustic alarm will sound when the door
is left open for around 80 seconds.
When normal conditions are restored (door
closed), the acoustic alarm will stop.
In any case, press the Alarm reset switch to
deactivate the acoustic alarm.

Important! Do not use detergents or abra­sive powders, as these will damage the fin­ish.

Freezing Calendar

The symbols 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 treating before
freezing.

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.

Cold accumulators

The freezer contains at least one cold accu­mulator which increases storage time in the
event of a power cut or breakdown.

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.

Helpful Hints and Tips

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;

• 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;

Important! Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the freezer.

• 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.

Hints for storage of frozen food

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.

Care and cleaning

Caution! Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance operation.

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

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with luke­warm water and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important! Do no t p ul l, m ov e o r d ama ge an y
pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as this will dam­age the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with
a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation
will improve the performance of the appli­ance and save electricity consumption.

Important! Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer cas­ing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.

Defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment of this model, on
the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This
means that there is no buildup of frost when
