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 comes with a motor protection control
system which makes the compressor start approximately 8
minutes after being switched on. The compressor also
starts each time the power supply is cut off whether
voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
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

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 yellow 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.
