should be retained with the appliance for future

reference. Should the appliance be sold or trans-

ferred to another owner, or should you move

house and leave the appliance, always ensure that

the book is supplied with the appliance in order

that the new owner can be acquainted with the

functioning of the appliance and the relevant

warnings.

These warnings are provided in the interest of

safety. You must read them carefully before

installing or using the appliance.

ª This appliance is designed to be operated by

adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper

with the controls or play with the appliance.

ª Any electrical work required to install this appliance

should be carried out by a qualiﬁed electrician or

competent person.

ª This appliance should be serviced by an authorized

Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts

should be used.

ª It is dangerous to alter the speciﬁcations or modify

this appliance in any way.

ª Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance

does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

ª The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed

to be used speciﬁcally for the storage of edible food-

stuffs only.

ª Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been

thawed out.

ª Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should

be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

ª There are working parts in this appliance which

heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate

ventilation as a failure to do this will result in

component failure and possible food loss. See

installation instructions.

ª Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wher-

ever possible the back of the appliance should be

against a wall.

ª Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried

out, be sure to switch off and unplug the appliance.

ª If the appliance is transported horizontally, it is

possible that the oil contained in the compressor

ﬂows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait

at least two hours before connecting the appliance

to allow the oil to ﬂow back in the compressor.

ª The inner lining of the appliance consists of chan-

nels through which the refrigerant passes. If these

should be punctured this would damage the appli-

ance beyond repair and cause food loss. DO NOT

USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or

ice. Frost may be removed by using the scraper

provided. Under no circumstances should solid ice

be forced off the liner. Solid ice should be allowed

to thaw when defrosting the appliance. See defrost

instructions.

ª Do not place carbonated or ﬁzzy drinks in the

freezer as it creates pressure on the container,

which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage

to the appliance.

ª This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when

moving it.

ª Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed

straight from the appliance.

ª Under no circumstances should you attempt to

repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by

serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local Service

Centre, and always insist on genuine spare parts.

ª This appliance does not contain gasses which

could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrig-

erant circuit or insulation materials; it must never-

theless be disposed off in a proper manner, in

accordance with regulations for protection of the

environment.

INSTALLATION

If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is

to replace an older appliance having a spring lock

(latch) 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 sun-

light, etc..

The best results are achieved with a room temperature

ranging from +16°C to +32°C.

Make sure that there is nothing at the back, at the top

and at the bottom of the appliance to obstruct air cir-

culation.

For a 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.

One or more adjustable feet mounted on the base of

the appliance make it possible to set it perfectly level.

Electrical connection

Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and fre-

quency shown on the serial number plate correspond

to your domestic power supply.

Voltage can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage.

For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized

auto-transformer must be used.

The appliance must be earthed.

The power supply cable plug is provided with a con-

tact for this purpose.

If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed,

connect the appliance to a separate earth in compli-

ance with current regulations, consulting a specialist

technician.

The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if the

above safety precautions are not observed.

This appliance complies with EEC directive

number 87/308 of 2/6/87 relative to radio inter-

ference suppression.

This appliance complies with the following

E.E.C. Directives:

- 73/23 EEC of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and

subsequent modiﬁcations;

- 89/336 EEC of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibil-

ity Directive) and subsequent modiﬁcations.

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the ﬁrst time, wash the

interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm wa-

ter and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical

smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these

will damage the ﬁnish.

Changing the opening direction of the

door

Unplug the freezer before performing the following

operations:

Remove the ventilation grid (C-Fig. 1).

Unscrew the bottom hinge (D-Fig. 1).

Remove the door from the upper pivot (A-Fig. 2).

Remove the pivot from the upper hinge (B), then

mount it on the opposite side.

Re-assemble the door.

Screw down the bottom hinge (D-Fig. 1) on the oppo-

site side by using the screws previously removed.

Detach the plug (E-Fig. 1) from the ventilation grid (C).

To do this, press it in the direction of the arrow.

Introduce the plug into the hole left free on the oppo-

site side.

Re-assemble the ventilation grid.

Take off the handle cover (see Fig. 3), reverse the di-

rection of the handle.

The unused opening direction is concealed by plastic

plugs. Therefore, these plugs are to be mounted on

the holes left free.

Aligning the worktop of the appliance with

the kitchen furniture

The appliance worktop is aligned with the door.

It can however be easily aligned to the kitchen furni-

ture by proceeding as follows:

unscrew the screws on the upper hinges that fasten

the worktop to the appliance.

Starting-up and temperature regulation

Insert the plug into the wall socket, the pilot light (C)

will light up to show that the appliance is working.

Turn knob (A) beyond the «O» position.

To safely store frozen and deep-frozen foods, the in-

ner temperature of the freezer must be at least –18°C

or colder.

Therefore, we suggest you turn the knob (A) to a me-

dium setting.

The temperature inside the freezer is automatically ad-

justed to ensure safe storage of the food.

However if the appliance works 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.

Turn knob (A) to the higher positions to obtain lower

temperatures and, conversely, to the lower positions if

a less cold temperature is required.

Freezer operation can be halted by turning knob (A) to

position «O».

Quick freezing

Slide switch (B) (Fig. 7) upwards.

The pilot lamp (E) will then light up.

Warning light (D-Fig. 7)

This light warns when the temperature inside the

freezer has increased so much as to jeopardize the

preservation of food.

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 of fresh foods

To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not

been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the

quick-freeze setting for at least three hours before

putting the food to be frozen in the compartment.

If instead the appliance is already in operation, it

should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24

hours before the foods are put in the freezer. Once the

foods have been placed in the freezer, the freezing op-

eration can be considered to be complete 24 hours

later.

Once freezing is complete, the freezer should be reset

for normal storage use.

Food to be frozen has to be placed in the top drawer.

The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24

hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be

found on the bottom left-hand side.

You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity

of foods than the maximum indicated on the appli-

ance’s rating plate.

To help you get the best out of the freezing process,

here are a few hints:

Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned

foods.

It is in fact important to remember that once the foods

have thawed out, they deteriorate fast.

Another point to remember is that lean foods keep

better and longer than fatty foods. Salt too reduces

storage time.

Wrap the foods in foil or polythene ﬁlm, ensuring that

the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well

sealed.

In this way, by avoiding contact with air, the colour ﬂa-

vour and nutritional value of the foods remain intact.

During the freezing process, do not add further foods

for freezing and do not open the freezer door.

The foods for freezing should not be placed in contact

with already frozen foods, but put in the top drawer.

This will stop the temperature of already frozen foods

from rising.

Never put ﬁzzy drinks in the freezer as they might well

burst.

In addition, never put hot foods or liquids in the freez-

er and take care not to ﬁll recipients up to the brim if

they are covered with a lid.

It is a good idea to mark the packs – or the cards on

the sliding drawers if your model has them – with the

date on which freezing started so that you can keep a

check on storage periods.

If accidental thawing occurs – due to a power cut for

example – the foods 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 is packed full, the frozen foods will not suf-

fer any damage.

On the inner freezer door you will ﬁnd schematic

drawings of foods and animals indicating maximum

storage time (in months) possible from the time of

freezing.

Storage of commercially frozen food

To get the best out of your freezer, in the case of stor-

age of commercially frozen food you should ensure

that:

the products have been correctly stored by the retail-

er;

that there is only a very short time between when you

purchase the products and when you put them in the

freezer;

you do not store products for longer than the time

speciﬁed by the food manufacturer.

In addition, if the freezer has been out of use for some

time, before putting the products in the compartment

let the freezer run for at least two hours on the quick-

freeze setting. After this, reset the freezer for normal

storage use.

Avoid opening the door too frequently and when you

do open it, leave it open only for as long as is strictly

necessary.

A word of warning about ice lollies: they should not be

eaten straight out of the freezer as this might cause

cold burns.

If there happens to be a power failure do not open the

freezer door. If the freezer is completely full, frozen

products will not be affected. Otherwise they should

be used up very quickly.

Positioning the cold accumulator

Pull out the bottom drawer.

Remove the cold accumulator (A-Fig. 8) which is

placed on the ﬂoor of the compartment for safety rea-

sons during transport.

Put it in the top drawer (B-Fig. 8): this is its correct po-

sition when the appliance is in operation.

Fig. 8

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, such as hamburgers, cutlets

chips, and ﬁsh ﬁngers, for example, can be cooked

straight out of the freezer, without any intermediate

thawing operation.

Clearly, cooking time will be marginally longer than in

the case of thawed food.

Ice cube trays

The appliance includes one tray for producing ice

cubes. This tray should be ﬁlled with drinkable water

and repositioned inside the freezer. Do not use metal

tools to remove the tray when it is stuck-frozen inside

the compartment.

MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any maintenance operation, al-

ways disconnect the plug from the wall socket.

Defrosting

The frost should be removed with the special plastic

scraper provided, whenever the thickness exceeds 4

mm. During this operation it is not necessary to cut-off

the power or to remove the food from the freezer.

Do not use metal tools to remove frost so as to

avoid seriously damaging the appliance.

If a thick layer of ice is formed it will be necessary to

carry out complete defrosting as following:

set the knob (A) to «

» position or unplug the appli-

ance from the mains socket;

wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper and

place the food packages in a cool place;

remove all the drawers from the appliance, except the

bottom drawer. This drawer has a closed bottom: pull

it out slightly so that it can collect the defrosting water.

To speed up defrosting, a container ﬁlled with hot -

not boiling - water may be placed inside the appli-

ance. Do not use heating devices, such as electric

ﬁres for example.

When defrosting is completed, empty the drawer and

dry the interior thoroughly.

Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the desired position or

replace the plug in the socket. After letting the appli-

ance to run for two or three hours on the quick-freeze

setting, it is ready again for storing frozen food.

Periodical cleaning

Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm wa-

ter and sodium bicarbonate.

Clean cabinet outer surfaces with a silicone-wax

spray.

The condenser and compressor should be cleaned

using a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This latter opera-

tion will maintain the appliance’s excellent standards

of performance and save energy.

Idle periods

During periods when the appliance is not used, you

should take the following precautions:

remove the plug from the wall socket;

remove all food from the appliance;

defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;

leave the door slightly open, thus letting air circulate

and preventing the formation of mould and unpleasant

smells.

SOMETHING NOT WORKING

If the appliance is not functioning properly check that:

the plug is ﬁrmly in the wall socket and the mains

power switch is on;there is no power failure;

the control knob is in the right position.

Furthermore:

if the appliance seems too noisy check that the sides

are not touching furniture that can transmit or amplify

a noise or a vibration. Also, check that the piping of

the refrigerant system does not vibrate.

If your appliance is still not working properly after

making the above checks, contact your local dealer or

the nearest service center.

To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you ap-

ply for it you specify the model and serial number of

your appliance which can be found inside the appli-

ance at the bottom on the left hand side.
