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 temperature.

MIN = warmest 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 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 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 GB 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).

•In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin (if exists), which has an adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the supplied rack.

!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.

ICE tray

The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided).

1.Pull out the tray by pushing it up. Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided.

2.Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray).

3.Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each mould fills with water (see diagram).

4.Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back.

5.When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out through the opening.
