INSTALLATION GB If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to replace an older appliance having a spring lock (latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make that spring lock unusable before you discard the old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death-trap for a child.

USE GB This freezer 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. The control panel (Fig. 6) max ALARM SUPER A BC min ON D E Fig. 6 A. Temperature alarm light B. Quick-freezing indicator light C. N/S knob D. Function indicator light E. Thermostat knob Operation Fast freezing Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Internal thermometer Fig. 7 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. °C Blue: normal Red: alarm Freezing food 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.
Rules to observe when freezing foods All products to be frozen must be fresh and of excellent quality. Each freezing package must be adjusted to the family’s consumption quantity in order to be used just once. Small-sized freezing packages allow a more rapid and uniform freezing. Do not forget that once frozen foods have thawed out, they spoil rapidly. Low-fat content foods are better conserved in the freezer than those with higher fat content.
Frozen food storage Thawing out frozen foods When the freezer is being turned on for the first time, or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the N/S knob to the Quick-freezing position and then wait at least two hours before introducing the food to be conserved. You may then return the knob to the «N» position. This two-hour waiting period may be avoided if the freezer has already been in operation.
Defrosting Scrape away the frost with the plastic scraper provided with the freezer when this layer arrives to approximately 4 mm in height. For this operation, you do not need to unplug the freezer or remove all frozen foods. Whenever the layer of frost exceeds 4 mm in thickness, you must proceed to a complete defrosting.
MAINTENANCE Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation. GB Periods of non-operation When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions: Warning This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
