BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Your new appliance is designed to be used in the household and similar applications such as:
-kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments
-farm houses
-by clients in hotels, motels, residences, bed &
breakfasts.
The product must only be used to store frozen food, to freeze fresh food and to make ice.
Regulations require the appliance to be 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 door closes perfectly, with the gasket remaining intact. Any damage must be reported to your retailer 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 and electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified technician, according to 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.
INSTALLATION
• Unpack the appliance.
•Remove the 4 spacers inserted between the door and the appliance. (Fig 3)
•Make sure the defrost water drain plug (if provided) is correctly positioned (E).
•For optimum operation and to avoid damage when the lid is opened, maintain a distance of at least 7 cm from the front wall and 7 cm at the sides. (Fig 4)
•Fit the accessories (if provided).
SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCE
•Plug in the appliance.
•The green LED lights up ("Optimum").
•The blu LED lights up ("Green Intelligence").
•The red LED flashes to indicate that the temperature inside the appliance is not yet sufficiently low for food storage. The red LED will normally switch off within the first six hours after the appliance is switched on.
•Place food inside the product only when the red LED has switched off.
•The blue LED, "Green Intelligence" (2), stays on until the set temperature is reached.
Note: Thanks to the efficient lid seal, the appliance lid will not re-open easily immediately after closing. Wait a few minutes before re-opening the lid of the appliance.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Use the key (4) to select the desired temperature.
To adjust the internal temperature, proceed as follows:
•Repeatedly press the key (4). Each time the key is pressed, the set temperature is updated, displaying the "Optimum", "Min" and "Max" values in succession.
•Select "Max" for a colder storage temperature.
•With partial loads "Min" is recommended: this setting will optimize energy consumption.
Note: The settings will be saved in the memory even if a power cut occurs. The time needed for the temperature inside the freezer to reach the set value, can vary depending on climatic conditions and the set temperature itself.
"GREEN INTELLIGENCE" FUNCTION
This function will activate automatically in the following cases:
•door opening
This function activates every time the opening of the door changes the internal temperature of the appliance. The function remains active for the time needed to reinstate optimum operating conditions.
•storing food inside the freezer
This function activates every time significant quantities of food are introduced. It remains active for the time needed to reinstate optimum freezing conditions of the food introduced, ensuring the best compromise between the quality of the freezing process and energy consumption.
Note: The duration of the "Green Intelligence" function is set automatically, and may vary depending on the way the product is used.
FREEZING FOOD
Preparation of fresh food for freezing
•Before 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 of prime quality in order to obtain high quality frozen food.
•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 appliance:
A)- foods to be frozen,
B)- foods already frozen.
•Avoid placing foods to be frozen in direct contact with food already frozen.
•For best and fastest freezing, foods should be split into small portions; this will also be useful when the frozen items are to be used.
•If minimum quantities of food are introduced (up to 1/4 of the maximum freezing power stated on the rating plate), the operation of the appliance will be controlled automatically by the "Green Intelligence" function without any need for intervention from the user.
•When freezing higher quantities of food, up to the maximum freezing capacity of the appliance, indicated on the rating plated, proceed as follows:
1. At least 24 hours before storing fresh foods inside the product for freezing, activate the fast freezing function by pressing (4) for approximately 3 seconds. The green LEDS (3) flash in sequence.
2. Introduce the food to freeze inside the appliance, and keep the door of the appliance closed for 24
hours. After this period the food will be frozen. The fast freezing function can be deactivated manually by pressing (4).
If the fast freeze function is not manually deactivated, it will be automatically deactivated by the appliance after 50 hours.
FOOD STORAGE
Refer to the table on the appliance. Classification of frozen foods
Load and classify the frozen foods; it is advisable to indicate the storage date on the packs, to ensure consumption before the expiry dates listed in months in fig. 6 for each type of food.
Advice for storing frozen food
When buying frozen food, make sure that:
•The packaging is intact (food in damaged containers may have deteriorated). If a package is swollen or has damp patches, the product may not have been stored in optimum conditions and therefore undergone partial defrosting.
•When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and carry them in a thermally insulated bag.
•On arriving home, immediately place the frozen food in the appliance.
•Avoid or minimise temperature variations. Observe the expiry date on the packaging.
•Always follow the storage instructions on frozen food packages.
Note:
•Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. Once cooked, the food can be refrozen.
•In case of a prolonged power failure:
Do not open the appliance door, except to place ice packs (if provided) over the frozen foods on the right and left side of the appliance. This will slow down the rise in temperature.
PRECAUTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
•During installation, make sure the appliance does not damage the power cable.
•Do not store glass containers with liquids inside the product as they may break.
