1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the red

ALARM and green POWER indicator lights illuminate

• Placing large amounts of fresh food in the freezer
	GB
may temporarily increase the temperature inside the
appliance (this is indicated when the red ALARM
light illuminates). This situation, as it is only
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.

	(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.

Load limit

indicator

If the top drawer is not used DO NOT store food beyond the line embossed in the interior of the freezer cabinet wall. This indicates the load limit. Food beyond this line will limit the air circulation and affect the performance of the freezer.

1 = warmest MAX = coldest

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 (the corresponding yellow indicator light illuminates), place the food inside and close the door. After 24 hours press the SUPER FREEZE button.

-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.

!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.

!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.

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.
