INSTALLATION

• Refer to chapter “Before using the appliance”.

• Unpack the appliance.

• Remove the 4 protection pieces inserted between

lid and appliance.

1. Red LED: when flashing, it indicates that an alarm
condition is present (see “TROUBLESHOOTING
GUIDE”)

2. Blue LED: the function “6th Sense” is automatically
activated and does not need to be selected by the user,
therefore the blue LED (2) “Sense” always remains
on. For more technical details, refer to paragraph
“6th Sense function”.

3. Green LEDs: they indicate that the appliance is in
operation, and the temperature has been set.

4. Temperature setting button: to adjust the set
temperature and to activate/deactivate the fast freezing
operations.

Switching on the appliance

• Plug in the appliance.

• The green LED lights up (“Normal”).

• The blue LED lights up (“Sense”).

• 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.

Note:

As the seal is tight, the appliance lid cannot be reopened
immediately after closing. Wait a few minutes before
re-opening the lid of the appliance.

• Ensure that the defrosting water drainage plug (if provided)
is correctly positioned (D).

• For best operation of the appliance and in order to avoid
damage when the lid is opened, leave a space of at least
7 cm from the rear wall and 7 cm at the sides.

• Fit the accessories (if provided).

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
“Normal”, “Eco” and “Max” values in succession.

• Select “ Max” for a colder storage temperature.

• With partial loads “Eco” is recommended: this setting will
optimise energy consumption.

The green indicator lamps (3) indicate the selected setting
according to the following diagram:

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.

Eco: least cold temperature (left
indicator lamp lit).
Normal: intermediate temperature
(right indicator lamp lit).
Max.: extra low temperature (both
indicator lamps lit).
Shopping: Fast Freezing (both
indicator lamps lit). See section
“Freezing fresh food”.

6th Sense” Function

The “6th Sense” function is always active to control the
internal temperature of the appliance and guarantee the
optimum conditions.
It automatically intervenes 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.

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.

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 “6th Sense” 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:

• 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 “6th Sense” function is set
automatically, and may vary depending on the way the
product is used.

• 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.

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.
