Use

¥The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

¥Best performance is obtained with ambient temperature between +18¡C and +43¡C (class T); +18¡C and +38¡C (class ST); +16¡C and +32¡C (class N); +10¡C and +32¡C (class SN). The class of your appliance is shown on its rating plate.

Warning: when the ambient temperature is not included within the range indicated for the class of this appliance, the following instructions must be observed: when the ambient temperature drops below the minimum level, the storage temperature in the freezer compartment cannot be guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use the food stored as soon as possible.

¥Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been thawed out.

¥ManufacturersÕ storage recommendations should be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

¥The inner lining of the appliance consists of channels through which the refrigerant passes. If these should be punctured this would damage the appliance beyond repair and cause food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Frost may be removed by using the scraper provided. Under no circumstances should solid ice be forced off the liner. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance. See defrost instructions.

Printed on recycled paper

¥Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer as it creates pressure on the container, which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the appliance. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged.

Installation

¥During normal operation, the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance heat up considerably. For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown in the relevant Figure.

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

¥Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

¥There are working parts in this product which heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. See installation instructions.

¥Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wherever possible the back of the product should be against a wall.

¥If the appliance has been transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.

Environment Protection

This appliance does not contain gasses which could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained from municipal authorities. The materials used on this appliance marked by the symbol are recicable.

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

USE OF THE FREEZER

This freezer compartment has been marked with the symbol , which means that it is suited to the freezing of fresh foods, the conservation of frozen foods and the production of ice-cubes.

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher settings.

However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:

¥room temperature;

¥how often the door is opened;

¥the quantity of food stored;

¥location of appliance.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

Important

Starting

Insert the power supply plug into the nearest wall socket (the function indicator light (E) will light up indicating that the freezer is receiving electrical input.)

Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the right to a medium setting (the temperature alarm light (D) will light up).

To turn off the freezer, turn the thermostat knob to the ÇOÈ position.

The refrigerator compartment will remain operating.

If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.

Quick-freezing

For quick-freezing, press the Super knob (B).

The quick-freezing indicator light (C) will then light up.

The temperature alarm light (D)

The temperature alarm light turns on automatically whenever the temperature within the freezer rises above a certain value which might endanger satisfactory long-term conservation.

It is perfectly normal for the temperature alarm light to remain lit up for a short time after the freezer is initially turned on. It will remain lit up until the optimum temperature for the conservation of frozen food is attained.

Internal thermometer

This indicates the internal temperature of the freezer. It may indicate a temperature above -18¡C when large quantities of food are placed inside for freezing or when the door is left open for a long time.

Blue: normal

Red: alarm

Freezing fresh food

The 4-star compartment is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen food, and for freezing fresh food. Do not exceed the storage times shown by the manufacturer on the commercially frozen food packets.

Set the freezer to quick-freezing operational status.

Wait at least 3 hours before introducing fresh foods into the freezer if it has only recently been turned on

If the freezer has already been working for some time, turn the respective knob to the thermostat knob with respect to the ÇSÈ position at least 24 hours before introducing the food into the freezer in order to ensure better freezing results.

Under normal circumstances, to freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the setting of the thermostat knob with respect to the normal running position.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in the freezing compartment as they may burst. Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezing compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.

Remember that, once thawed, frozen food deteriorates rapidly.

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run for at least two hours on the coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position.

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on cooling shelves.

Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where applicable).

Important

If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer compartment. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period).

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
