Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks
etc.), in the freezer compartment.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer, can possibly result
in a low temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasions or "frost/freezer burns".
If there is a power failure during the storage of
frozen food, do not open the door during the
whole time of the power failure. If the freezer
is fully loaded, the frozen food will not be
affected if the power cut is of short duration;
otherwise, it is recommended to consume the
food within a very short time.
Internal thermometer
This indicates the internal temperature of the freez-
er. 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.
Thawing
Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in
the fridge or at room temperature depending on the
time available. Small food items may even be
cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take
longer. Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw
accidentally should either be eaten as soon as pos-
sible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is
uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it
can be cooked and then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
Ice making
Fill each compartment of the ice tray 3/4full with
water and place it in the freezer. To release the ice
cubes, twist the tray along its length. Never use a
sharp instrument to remove ice from the tray.

.
The fast-freezing push button can be released as
soon as the warning light is off.
Open door acoustic alarm
This appliance also incorporates an alarm which
sounds if the door is left open for more than 60 sec-
onds. The signal will be stopped when the door is
closed again.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 18 kg of
fresh food.
Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast-freeze
switch

24 hours before you want to freeze your
fresh food, the yellow light
➄
illuminates. This time
can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food
to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the
food to be frozen in the two top compartments of the
freezer as this is the coldest part; if freezing only a
small amount of food, always use the top compart-
ment.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) press the fast freeze switch to deac-
tivate the fast freeze mode; the yellow light
➄
goes
off.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other com-
partments, so that the top compartments can be
used for a further freezing operation.
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned
foodstuffs.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is
already frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer
door remains closed.
Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
we strongly recommend that you make sure that the
commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately
stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that
these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food-
store to the consumer in the shortest possible time (a
temperature increase of the frozen food could short-
en its storage period).
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period
indicated by the producer of the food.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
