USING FOR THE FIRST TIME Plug in the appliance. A beep may be emitted by some models, to indicate that the temperature alarm has intervened: press the button to switch off acoustic alarms. Note: After turning the appliance on, you must wait for 4-5 hours for the correct storage temperature to be reached for a normally filled appliance.
WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS NOT USED Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, empty it, defrost it (if necessary) and clean it. Keep the doors slightly ajar to let air circulate inside. By doing this, you avoid the development of mould and bad odours. POWER FAILURE In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your electricity supply company and ask how long it is going to last. Note: Bear in mind that a full appliance will stay cold longer than a partially filled one.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT The freezer compartment allows for the storage of frozen food (for the period indicated on the packaging) and the freezing of fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is written on the rating plate. Arrange the fresh food in the freezing area inside the freezer compartment (see Quick Guide), leaving enough space around the food packages to allow air to circulate freely. It is advisable that you do not re-freeze food that has partially defrosted.
STOP FROST SYSTEM (depending on the model) The STOP FROST SYSTEM (available depending on the model) facilitates the defrost procedure for the freezer compartment. The STOP FROST accessory (figure 1) is designed to collect some of the frost that forms in the freezer compartment and it is easy to remove and clean, therefore reducing the time needed to defrost the inside of the freezer compartment. To remove the frost on the STOP FROST accessory follow the cleaning procedure demonstrated below.
SHOCK FREEZE (depending on the model) The “Shock Freeze” compartment is specifically designed to freeze up to 2 kg of fresh food extremely quickly. The ultra-fast “Shock Freeze” function minimizes the formation of ice crystals inside the food as it freezes, thus ensuring it is of the best possible quality when defrosted prior to consumption. When the “Shock Freeze” function is not active, the compartment can be used as normal for traditional freezing or for the storage of already frozen foods.
HOW TO REMOVE DRAWERS FROM METALLIC RAILS (depending on model). 1 “Click” 2 “Click” TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICE • the type and serial number of the appliance (written on the rating plate) • the Service number (if available) (the number that is after the word SERVICE on the rating plate placed inside the appliance) Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service: Restart the appliance to check if the problem has been solved.
