Upright units are large capacity domestic appliances for freezing, storing and refrigerating any types of food.
The load-bearing STRUCTURE has been fabricated in steel panels which have been treated and electrostati­cally painted to resist mistreatment and to ensure that its “new” look remains unaltered over time.
The INSULATION MATERIALS have been specially selected to ensure that the INTERNAL temperature remains constant and to provide maximum storage space.
The internal STORAGE SPACE has been designed to store any type of food thanks to the easily removable shelves.

REMOVING THE TRANSPORT PROTECTION DEVICES
Check that the appliance is undamaged. The retailer must be informed of any damage to the
appliance within 24 hours of delivery. 1 Remove the protection from the door gasket. The protection is used to protect the gasket during
transport.
The protection must be removed in order to ensure
that the door seal functions correctly.
To remove the protection, lightly pull one end while
rotating it outwards.
2 Remove the glass shelf locking devices. These plastic elements prevent the shelves from
moving during transport.
To remove the shelf locking devices, proceed as
follows:
a) Grasp the plastic locking device and rotate it until

When installing the appliance, remember the following:
A Do not install it near to sources of heat such as heat-
ers, radiators, cookers, etc. or in direct sunlight.
B Make sure that during the automatic defrost, any
water on the back wall of the compartment runs into the drain channel.
C After the appliance has been placed in its fi nal posi-
tion, leave it for about an hour before connecting it to the power supply.
D Make sure that the appliance is working properly before
placing any food in it.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Check that the mains voltage complies with that indicated on the rating plate located on the bottom left of the freezer compartment. If the mains socket does not have an earth connection or if the plug is not suitable for the mains supply system, refer to a qualifi ed electrician. Do not use adapters or extension leads, as these may overheat and burn.
Warning: this appliance must be earthed
If the appliance has been fi tted with a non-rewirable plug of the incorrect type for the mains socket, cut off the plug and fi t a new one. The removed plug must be thrown away. Inserting an unsuitable plug into a 13 Amp socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. When a non rewirable plug or rewirable 13 Amp (BS1363) plug is used, it must be fi tted with a 15 Amp ASTA approved (BS1362) fuse. If any other type of plug is used it must be wired as follows. Connect the GREEN & YELLOW wire to the earth terminal marked with the letter “E” or earth symbol, yellow. Connect the BLUE wire to the neutral terminal marked with the letter “N” or coloured black. Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the live terminal marked with the letter “L” or coloured red.

START-UP AND CONTROL OF REFRIGERATOR COM­PARTMENT
On insertion of the plug in the mains socket, if the green led (S2) (minimum position) does not light, this means that the appliance is switched off.
To start up the appliance, press button T1 for at least
0.5 seconds. To interrupt operation, press T1 for at least 4 seconds.
On power-up, operation is indicated by illumination of

• Keep all liquids in closed containers.
The NO-FROST system guarantees a constant
temperature and a more rapid freezing capacity. The humidity-free, forced air circulation tends to dry food up quickly and for this reason we advise keeping all food in closed containers.
Note:
• The distance between the shelves and the rear internal
wall of the refrigerator ensures that air circulates freely.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall
of the refrigerator compartment.
• Do not place food that is still warm into the compart-
ments.

NOTE
To optimise the use of space inside the freezer without altering any of its operational characteristics, the 3 upper drawers can be removed, keeping only the bot­tom drawer.
IMPORTANT
- Any food showing signs of thawing must not, under any circumstances, be refrozen.
- Do not store frozen food for longer periods that that recommended.
FREEZER DEFROSTING
The freezer defrosting function is fully automatic and does not require any user intervention.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
NEVER place ice cubes in the mouth or eat ice-lollies that have just been taken out of the freezer, as these can cause ice burns. DO NOT place sealed containers containing liquids such as soft-drinks or similar in the freezer. Hot foods and drinks must be allowed to cool before being placed in the freezer.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
It is impossible to accurately predict the effective stor­age period for frozen food in that this varies consider­ably according to the nature of the food itself. To be safe, always follow the instructions reported on the packaging of frozen food products.
ICE-CUBE PRODUCTION
Fill the ice-tray 3/4 full with water. Place it in the sliding drawer (where fi tted) in the freezer compartment.
GENERAL ADVICE:
Make sure that the packaging is intact and that there are
no damp marks or swelling, in that these indicate that the frozen product may already have deteriorated. Any food that has started to thaw out must not under any circumstances be re-frozen. Do not store frozen foods for longer than the recom­mended time period.

PACKING FRESH PRODUCTS FOR FREEZING
This freezer has two separate compartments.
- Upper drawer “A” is used for freezing fresh food.
- The two lower drawers are reserved exclusively for storing frozen products.
For optimum freezing, activate the quick-freeze function (SUPER) at least 3 hours beforehand.
Only freeze prime quality hermetically sealed products to avoid loss of taste or drying out. Apply a label to each pack, indicating the content and date of freezing. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance’s rating plate (8kg/24h).
Do not place food in the freezer in contact with already frozen products. This will prevent the food from in­creasing in temperature. In this respect, it is important to transfer frozen food from compartment “A” to the lower drawers.
GB

If a power cut should occur, try to establish its dura­tion.
If the forecast is less than 12 hours, leave the food in the freezer and keep the door closed.
If the power cut lasts for longer than 12 hours and part of the food starts to thaw out, this should be consumed as soon as possible.
