DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE

This freezer is equipped with Never-Defrost technology which avoids having to defrost the product.
The humidity absorbing device prevents the formation of frost and reduces its build-up on the walls, to ensure
optimum operation.

Operation of the device depends much on room conditions (humidity and temperature).
Assuming the product is opened

on average

once a day, proper operation is guaranteed if the humidity in the room

where the product is installed does not exceed the following values:

at 20 °C max. relative humidity: 80%
at 25 °C max. relative humidity: 65%
at 32 °C max. relative humidity: 50%

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

REPLACING ABSORBER MATERIAL

When replacing the bags:

The estimated life of the humidity absorber is approx. 6 months.
This time refers to standard use of the product, and can therefore vary according to:

• Room conditions (temperature and humidity).

• Amount of food normally present in the product.

• Frequency of door opening.

• Freezing frequency.
This, however, does not modify the instructions for correct use and operation of the freezer and the absorber

device.
Make sure to promptly replace the depleted bags in order to prevent excessive build-up of frost.

Operations for replacing the bags:

The product does not have to be switched off during the following operations.

NB:

1. Remove the absorber device from the freezer and close the product.

2. Open the bag-holder container and remove the used bags (see the section “Installing the device”).

3. Replace the used bags with new ones just taken from the protective covering.

4. Refit the absorber device inside the product and close the same.

INSTALLING THE DEVICE

Timer installation:

• Activate the timer by pressing the cap on the top part (

fig. 2

).

• Insert it in the special seat (

fig. 3

).

Once activated, make sure to keep the timer constantly inside the product in operation, to guarantee a correct
indication of the time elapsed.
Indication of the time elapsed can vary according to the temperature: correct indication of the 6 months refers to

-18 °C (the temperature inside the freezer).

Considering that in normal use of the product the temperature inside can vary, the accuracy of the indication of time
elapsed is 6 months +/- 20 days.

USE

Food can be arranged anywhere in the product or in the baskets provided, making sure not to obstruct the
openings on the absorber device.

The absorber device prevents frost forming on the walls of the product and on the food contained in it; however,
frost may form in the following cases:

• After the product is switched on the first time.

• As a result of the introduction of hot food for freezing or considerable quantities of already-frozen food.

• As a result of prolonged and frequent opening of the door.

• If the product is used in a particularly hot or humid place.

This phenomenon does not indicate malfunctioning of the product, in particular regarding correct
preservation of the food, which is in any case guaranteed.

The device will eventually reabsorb the frost formed.
