BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Your new appliance is designed exclusively for domestic
use and for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and
making ice cubes.

Regulations require that the appliance is earthed.
The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to
persons or animals and for damage to property
resulting from failure to observe the above
procedures and reminders.

1. After unpacking, make sure that the appliance is

undamaged and that the lid closes perfectly tight. Any
damage must be reported to your dealer within 24
hours after delivery of the appliance.

2. Wait at least two hours before switching the

appliance on in order to ensure the refrigerant circuit
is fully efficient.

3. Installation of the appliance and electrical connections

must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and
local safety regulations.

4. Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.

• Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply,
ensure that the voltage corresponds to that given on
the rating plate located on the rear of the appliance.

• Electrical connections must be made in

accordance with local regulations.

FREEZING FOOD
Preparing fresh food for freezing

• Wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film,
air and water-tight plastic bags, polyethylene
containers with lids, provided they are suitable for
freezing foods.

• Food must be fresh, mature and prime quality.

• Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen
as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original
nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavour.

• Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the
appliance.

Freezing fresh food

• Place foods to be frozen in direct contact with the
walls of the appliance:

A) - food to be frozen,
B) - food already frozen.

• Avoid placing foods to be frozen in direct contact with
food already frozen.

• For better and faster freezing, foods should be split
into small portions; this will also be useful when the
frozen items are to be used.

1. At least 24 hours before

storing fresh food in the
appliance, activate fast
freezing ("Shopping") by
repeatedly pressing button
(4) until both green indicator
lights (3) flash.

2. Place the food to be frozen
inside the appliance and
keep the lid closed for 24
hours. Food will be fully
frozen after this period of
time.

The fast freezing function ("Shopping") can be
deactivated by pressing button (4) and selecting a
different temperature setting.

If the function is not deactivated manually, the appliance
automatically deactivates the function after 50 hours,
restoring the last setting selected (which was active for
at least 1 minute) before the "Shopping" setting was
selected.
