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 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).

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 yellow 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 GB freezing SUPER FREEZE button until the corresponding indicator light begins to flash. After 24 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).

!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.
