BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE • 1. After unpacking the appliance, make sure it is not damaged and that the door closes properly. Any damage must be reported to the dealer within 24 hours of delivery of the appliance. 2. Wait at least two hours before switching the appliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient. 3.
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS SAFETY • Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance. • Do not store or use petrol, flammable liquids or gas in the vicinity of this or other electrical appliances. The fumes can cause fires or explosions. • Do not use mechanical, electric or chemical means other than those recommended by the Manufacturer to speed up the defrost process.
Notes: • Do not block the air outlet area (on the back wall) with food products. • If the freezer is provided with a flap, it is possible to maximize the storage volume by removing the flap (by bending it). • All shelves, flaps and pull-out baskets are removable. • • • The internal temperatures of the appliance may be affected by the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, as well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors.
BLACK OUT ALARM After a power blackout, your product is designed to automatically monitor the temperature in the freezer when electricity is resupplied. If the temperature in the freezer rises above freezing level, the Black Out indicator turns on, the Alarm indicator blinks and the acoustical alarm sounds when electricity is resupplied. To reset the alarm press the Stop Alarm button just once.
• Incompatibility with the “Shock Freeze” function To guarantee optimal performance, the “Shock Freeze” and “Fast Freeze” functions cannot be used at the same time. Therefore, if the “Fast Freeze” function has been already engaged, it has to be disengaged first to activate the “Shock Freeze” function (and vice-versa). 7. The “Shock Freeze” function is automatically deactivated 4-5 hours after its activation: the indicator switches off and the fans are deactivated.
STORE FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE TIPS FOR FREEZING AND STORING FRESH FOOD • Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food. • Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order to obtain high quality frozen food.
TWIST ICE MAKER* HOW TO MAKE ICE CUBES You can remove the complete Twist Ice Maker (press and hold (1) the leveler on the left and push it (2) towards you) or you can just remove the ice cube tray by pulling it (3) towards you. HOW TO TAKE ICE CUBES 1. Make sure that the storage bin is in place under the ice tray. If not, slide into place. 2. Twist one of levers firmly in the clockwise direction until the tray twists slightly. The ice cubes fall into the storage bin.
RECOMANDATION IN CASE OF NO USE OF THE APPLIANCE 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. Short vacation There is no need to disconnect the appliance from the power supply if you will be away for less than three weeks. Use up perishable food, freeze other food. Note: Bear in mind that a full appliance will stay cold longer than a partially filled one.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply. Periodically clean the appliance with a cloth and a solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent specifically for refrigerator interiors. Never use detergents or abrasives. Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Before contacting After-sales Service… Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind. Noises coming from your appliances are normal since it has a number of fans and engines to regulate performances that switch on and off automatically. Some of the functional noises can be reduced through: - Levelling the appliance and installing it on an even surface. - Separating and avoiding contact between the appliance and furniture.
If the appliance temperature is too high: • • • • • Are the appliance controls correctly set? Has a large amount of food been added to the appliance? Check that the door is not opened too often. Check that the door close properly. Make sure that air flow vents inside the compartment are not blocked, as this prevents the circulation of cold air. If there is moisture build-up: • Make sure that air flow vents inside the compartment are not blocked, as this prevents the circulation of air.
AFTER-SALES SERVICE Before contacting After-Sales Service: Switch the appliance on again to see if the problem has been solved. If it has not, disconnect the appliance from the power supply and wait for about an hour before switching on again. If, after performing the checks described in the Troubleshooting Guide and switching the appliance on again, your appliance still does not work properly, contact the After-sales Service, explain the problem.
