Start-up and use  
Starting the appliance  
• Placing large amounts of fresh food in the freezer  
may temporarily increase the temperature inside the  
appliance (this is indicated when the red ALARM  
light illuminates). This situation, as it is only  
GB  
! 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.  
temporary, does not adversely affect the storage  
conditions of food that is already frozen.  
In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the  
freezer compartment, you may remove the bins  
(except the lowest bin) and place the food directly  
onto the evaporator plates.  
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the red  
ALARM and green POWER indicator lights illuminate  
(the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob must not be  
on ).  
2. Press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing): the  
SUPER FREEZE indicator light will illuminate.  
3. When the indicator light switches off, press the  
SUPER FREEZE button. The freezer is now ready to  
be used.  
If the top drawer is not  
used DO NOT store  
food beyond the line  
embossed in the  
interior of the freezer

indicator  
cabinet wall. This  
indicates the load limit.  
Food beyond this line  
will limit the air  
circulation and affect  
the performance of the  
freezer.  
Using the freezer to its full potential  
• Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to adjust the  
temperature.  
1 = warmest  
MAX = coldest  
! Do not open the door during freezing.  
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).  
! 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.  
! Warning Indicator Light. When this red warning light  
comes on for a prolonged period of time, it means that  
the freezer is not functioning properly and the  
temperature is rising too much. (Call your Service  
Centre)  
This warning light might come on for a brief period  
when:  
a) the door is left open for an extended period of time  
(when the freezer is being loaded or unloaded).  
b) the SUPER FREEZE button has been pressed.  
• 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 (the corresponding yellow  
indicator light illuminates), place the food inside and  
close the door. After 24 hours press the SUPER  
FREEZE button.  
In these two cases, the fact that the warning light  
comes on does not indicate that the freezer is  
malfunctioning or there is a defect.  
- for large quantities which are greater than the  
maximum load indicated on the data plate, hold down  
the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button. After 24  
hours place the food inside thr freezer and close the  
door. After another 24 hours press the SUPER FREEZE  
button.

Precautions and tips  
! The appliance was designed and manufactured in  
compliance with international safety standards. The  
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and  
must be read carefully.  
Disposal  
GB  
• Observe local environmental standards when  
disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.  
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires  
that old household electrical appliances must not be  
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste  
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately  
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the  
materials they contain and reduce the impact on  
human health and the environment. The crossed out  
“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of  
your obligation, that when you dispose of the  
This appliance complies with the following  
Community Directives:  
- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and  
subsequent amendments;  
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic  
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;  
- 2002/96/CE..  
General safety  
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside  
the home and is not intended for commercial or  
industrial use.  
• The appliance must be used to store and freeze food  
products by adults only and according to the  
instructions in this manual.  
appliance it must be separately collected.  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal  
of their old appliance.  
Respecting and conserving the environment  
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in  
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the  
appliance exposed to rain and storms.  
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet  
or moist hands and feet.  
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated  
room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight  
and do not place it near heat sources.  
• WARNING: do not damage the refrigerant circuit.  
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could  
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.  
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug  
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.  
• Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off  
the appliance and disconnect it from the electrical  
supply. It is not sufficient to set the temperature  
adjustment knobs on (appliance off) to eliminate all  
electrical contact.  
• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances  
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.  
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may  
cause injury or further malfunctioning of the  
appliance.  
• Do not use any sharp or pointed utensils or electrical  
equipment - other than the type recommended by the  
manufacturer - inside the frozen food storage  
compartments.  
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer  
into your mouth.  
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons  
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or  
lack of experience and knowledge unless they have  
been given supervision or instruction concerning use  
of the appliance by a person responsible for their  
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that  
they do not play with the appliance.  
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or  
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve  
energy.  
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food:  
cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved  
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will  
work continuously.  
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The  
internal temperature will increase and force the  
compressor to work harder and will consume more  
energy.  
• Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance).  
A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food  
products more difficult and results in increased  
energy consumption.  
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to  
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air  
from escaping (see Maintenance).  
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It  
can become a choking or suffocation hazard.
