Branchement électrique
Contrôlez, avant de brancher l’appareil, que le
voltage et la fréquence indiqués sur la plaque
signalétique correspondent à ceux de votre réseau.
Tolérance admise: ±6%.
Pour l’adaptation de l’appareil à des voltages
différents, l’adjonction d’un autotransformateur d’une
puissance adéquate est indispensable.
Il faut absolument brancher l'appareil à une prise
de terre qui marche.
C'est pour cela que la prise du câble d'alimentation
est munie d'un contact prévu exprès. Si la prise de
courant du réseau domestique n'est pas branchée à
la terre, branchez l'appareil à une prise de terre à
part, conformément aux normes en vigueur, en vous
adressant à un technicien spécialisé.
Le fabricant décline toute responsabilité, si cette
norme de prévention des accidents n'est pas
respectée.

Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment
press the ambient switch at least 12 hours before.
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.
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.
If the freezer has already been working for some
time, press the ambient switch at least 12 hours
before introducing the food into the freezer in order
to ensure better freezing results.
Place the food to be frozen on the upper
compartment.
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 deterio-
rates rapidly.
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains 2 cold accumulators which
increase storage times in the event of a power cut or
breakdown.
For security reasons, during the transport of the
appliance, the cold accumulators are located in the
lower drawer.
The correct location of the accumulators is inside the
upper drawer, on top of the stored food.
