Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation
instructions (
see Installation ).
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the
compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water
and bicarbonate.
! The appliance is fitted with an electronic motor
control system. The compressor motor will start
approximately 8 minutes after the appliance is first
switched on,or after any power interruptions. (e.g.
power failures)
1. Insert the plug into the socket and make sure that
the green POWER indicator light illuminates (the
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob must be in the
OFF position).
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an
average value and press the SUPER FREEZE button
(rapid freezing): the SUPER FREEZE indicator light
will illuminate. It will switch off once the freezer has
reached its optimal temperature. At this point food
may be placed inside the appliance.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to adjust the
temperature.
MIN = warmest
MAX = coldest
is the optimal temperature for energy saving levels.
We recommend, however, a medium position.
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has
already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked
and eaten (within 24 hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into
contact with food that has already been defrosted.
Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and
STORAGE compartment.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and
which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer
because they could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties
located within the freezer (for example: Kg/24h: 4).
• To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):
- for small quantities which are less than those indicated
on the data plate, press the rapid freezing SUPER
FREEZE button (corresponding indicator light
illuminates), insert the food and close the door. The
function is disabled automatically after 24 hours or
when optimal temperatures have been reached
(indicator light goes out);
- for large quantities which are greater than the
maximum load indicated on the data plate, hold down
the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button until the
corresponding indicator light begins to flash. After 24
hours the indicator light stops flashing and remains on
constantly. Place the food inside the freezer and close
the door. After another 24 hours, the function will be
disabled automatically (indicator light goes out).
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the
freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature
inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for
at least 9 -14 hours.
