INSTALLATION
If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to replace an
older appliance having a spring lock on the door or lid, be sure
to make that spring lock unusable before you discard the old
appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death-trap for a
child.
Location
Place the appliance as far away as possible from
sources of heat, e.g. radiators, heaters, direct
sunlight, etc..
The best results are achieved with a room
temperature ranging from +18°C to +38°C
(class ST) or from +18°C to +43°C (class T). The
class of your appliance is shown on its rating plate.
Make sure that there is nothing at the back, at the
top and at the bottom of the appliance to obstruct
air circulation.
For more efficient operation of the appliance the
minimum distance between the top of the appliance
and other overhanging kitchen furniture, if any,
should be at least 100 mm (Fig. 1/A).
The best solution is shown in Fig. 1/B (without
overhanging kitchen furniture).
The appliance sides may also be in contact with the
kitchen furniture, provided that air can circulate
freely round the back and top.
One or more adjustable feet mounted on the base of
the appliance make it possible to set it perfectly
level.

Power connection
Before plugging the appliance into the mains
socket, check that the voltage and frequency
indicated on the appliance’s rating plate are the
same as those provided by your home power supply.
A 6% fluctuation above or below rated voltage is
acceptable.
For operation at different voltages, a suitable
transformer should be used.
Make sure the plug and the socket are compatible so
that no adaptors need to be used. If necessary,
replace the socket with a suitable one.
The appliance MUST be connected to an efficient earth or
ground tap.
The supply-lead plug in fact incorporates a special earth
or ground contact for this purpose. If by any chance the
sockets of your domestic wiring system are not earthed,
the appliance must be connected to a separate earth or
ground wire by a qualified electrician, in accordance
with existing safety regulations.
The manufacturer declines to accept any liability if this
accident-prevention procedure is not followed.
This appliance complies with the relevant UNI
standards and with E.E.C. Directive No. 87/308 of
02.06.87 relative to radio interference suppression.

Starting-up and temperature regulation
Insert the plug into the nearest wall socket, pilot
light (C) will light up to show that the appliance is
working.
Turn the thermostat knob (A) clockwise to a
medium setting (temperature warning light (E) will
come on).
To safely store frozen and deep-frozen foods, the
inner temperature of the freezer must be –18
°
C or
colder.
Wait until the temperature warning light (E) goes
out, thus showing that the proper temperature has
been reached.
However if the appliance is operating in
unfavourable room conditions such as poor
ventilation, high ambient temperature and frequent
door openings, it might be necessary to select a
more suitable setting.
Freezer operation can be stopped by turning the
thermostat knob to position «
O
».
Fast freezing
For fast freezing, turn the N/S knob (B) (Fig. 4) to
position «S». The fast freeze light (D) will come on.
Temperature warning light (E) (Fig. 4)
This light warns when the temperature inside the
freezer compartment has increased to a point at
which safe storage of food can no longer be
guaranteed.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time
or when food is placed in the compartment for
freezing, this light remains on until the temperature
has reached the level required for correct storage.

Freezing fresh foods
To fast-freeze foods when the appliance has not
been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on
the fast-freeze setting for at least three hours
before putting the food to be frozen in the
compartment.
If however the appliance is already in operation, it
should run on the fast-freeze setting for at least 24
hours before the food is put in the freezer.
During fast freezing the compressor works
continuously, using the maximum cooling power.
Keep the knob on the same setting for 24 hours
after loading the food to be frozen, and then reset
the knob to the position for storage of deep frozen
foods.
It is necessary to consider the freezing capacity of
the appliance, that is the maximum amount of food
that can be frozen in 24 hours; this capacity is 20 kg.
Place packages of deep frozen foods as shown in
Fig. 5.
Fig. 5
Place the food to be frozen in the upper
compartments, so that they do not come in contact
with already frozen foods, as their higher
temperature might increase the temperature of
frozen foods.
At the end of the freezing period, place the frozen
food in other compartments in order to leave room
for freezing more food.

Rules for freezing fresh food
Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned
foods.
Split them into small portions to speed up freezing
and avoid having to thaw more food than you
require.
It is in fact important to remember that once food
has thawed out, it deteriorates fast.
Another point to remember is that lean foods keep
better and longer than fatty foods. Salt too reduces
storage time.
Wrap the food in foil or polythene film, ensuring
that the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is
well sealed.
Never put fizzy drinks in the freezer as they might
well burst.
In addition, never put hot foods or liquids in the
freezer compartment and take care not to fill
recipients up to the brim if they are covered with a
lid.
Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezing compartment, can cause frost
burns.
It is a good idea to mark packs so that you can keep
a check on storage periods.
Never open the freezer door or introduce new foods
if the freezer is on fast freeze operation.
Important
If accidental thawing occurs – due to a power cut for
example – food must be used up very quickly or else
cooked immediately and refrozen. If, however, the
power failure is relatively brief (from 6 to 8 hours)
and the freezer compartment is packed full, the
frozen food will not suffer any damage.
Note
A special card is located in the holder on the inner
door of the freezer compartment. On the upper part
it shows pictures of different types of food followed
by a figure. These figures indicate the maximum
storage time, in months, for each type of food.
Storage of deep frozen foods
When the freezer is started up for the first time, or
after an idle period, turn the N/S knob to the fast
freeze setting described above, and wait at least
two hours before loading the food to be stored.
Then, turn the knob back to the storage position.
If the freezer is already in operation, there is no
need to wait.

Useful hints
Alway check the date shown on deep frozen foods
on sale and eat them before the expiry date.
Do not open the door too often and leave it open
only as long as necessary; the temperature increase
in fact reduces the food storage life.
Make sure all packages are in good condition,
otherwise foods might deteriorate.
If the packages show signs of humidity or have
swollen, the foods may not have been properly
stored, so that the product has lost its original
quality.
When deep frozen foods are bought, always use a
thermal bag; they should always be bought last of
all. Wrap them in newspaper sheets and store them
in the freezer as soon as you get home. Check the
product carefully when you buy it, as unfrozen foods
cannot be frozen again and must be eaten within 24
hours.
Thawing
Before being used, deep-frozen and frozen food can
be thawed out either in the refrigerator or at room
temperature, depending on the time available for
this operation.
Small pieces of food can be cooked straight out of
the freezer, without any intermediate thawing
operation. In this case, cooking time will be longer
than in the case of thawed food.
Defrosting
The freezer compartment, will become
progressively covered with frost. This should be
removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch
off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried
out and it is advisable to carry out this operation
when the appliance is empty.
To carry out complete defrosting of the ( )
freezer compartment proceed as follows:
Remove the ice-cube trays and the frozen foods and
wrap them in several sheets of newspaper or, even
better, in thermally insulated containers.
Turn the thermostat knob to the «
O
» position or
unplug the appliance.
Leave the door open.
Insert the plastic scraper in the appropriate seating
at the bottom centre, as shown in Fig. 6, place a
basin underneath to collect the defrost water.
Fig. 6
When defrosting is completed dry the interior
thoroughly.
Keep the scraper for future use.
Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the desired
position or replace the plug in the socket. After
allowing the appliance to run for two hours on the
fast-freeze setting, it is ready for storing frozen
food again.
Important
Never use knives or metal objects to scrape away
the accumulated frost.
Remember that an increase in the surface
temperature of already-frozen foods may
significantly decrease their storage life.
Making ice cubes
The freezer may be fitted with one or more trays for
making ice cubes for the whole family. Fill the trays
with water up to 3/4 of their capacity and place
them in the fast freeze compartment; if the water in
your area contains many mineral salts (especially
lime), use natural mineral water to make ice cubes.
The ice cubes can be detached from the tray by
simply twisting it; never use metal tools to remove
the trays from the freezer.

MAINTENANCE
Internal cleaning
During complete defrosting, wash the inside linings
of the freezer with lukewarm water and sodium
bicarbonate; finally, dry thoroughly.
External cleaning
Wash the cabinet surfaces with lukewarm water
and soap; from time to time use a product for
polishing the outside components.
Remove dust from the condenser at the back of the
freezer with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner;
excessive dust may, in fact, jeopardize the correct
operation of the appliance.
Long idle periods
Whenever the freezer is not used for some time
unplug, empty and clean it. The door should be kept
ajar all the time the freezer is not used.
IF THE APPLIANCE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY
Before calling the dealer for technical assistance,
and in order to avoid unnecessary calls, check that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;
there is an electricity supply;
the thermostat knob is in the correct position.
If the appliance seems too noisy, check that the
sides are not touching furniture that can transmit or
amplify noise or vibration.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact the nearest
service centre.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you
apply for it you specify the model & serial number
of your appliance, which can be found on the rating
plate.
