Setting Up Your Appliance
Once the appliance has been connected to the power source, the green C and red B lights will turn on. Turn the fast freeze
switch (E) to the Super setting (the yellow D light will turn on).
When the red LED B turns off, set the freezer switch E to the first setting (yellow LED OFF): you may now use your appliance.
NOTICE
Use average temperature settings to ensure optimum performance and to save energy.

Tips on Freezing
-Remember that you should never refreeze products you have allowed to thaw, even if only partially. Once thawed, cook the food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or refreeze it
-Consult a specialized manual when packaging foods for freezing.
-For the best storage and thawing, remember to freeze small portions. This will ensure rapid and uniform freezing. Mark package with a description of the contents and the date it was frozen.
-Never freeze more food than that allowed by the maximum freezing capacity indicated on the data plate which is located on the back of the freezer.
-Turn the E switch to the setting (the yellow D light will
come on).
-To freeze food, make sure that the red light is off. Then
turn the fast freeze switch (E) to the setting (Super).
Then place the food to be frozen into the freezer, making sure that it is placed, to the furthest extent possible, in di- rect contact with the side walls of the deepest part of the freezer and not in contact with food that has already been frozen. It should be kept in mind, in fact, that proper stor- age depends on the speed at which the food is frozen. For this reason, we recommend that the switch be turned to
the setting 24 hours before the food to be frozen is placed inside the freezer.
- Avoid opening the freezer door during the freezing proc- ess.
-Placing substantial amounts of fresh food in the appliance may temporarily raise the temperature within the freezer (the red light will turn on). Since this is a temporary situation, it will not compromise the storage of the food that has already been frozen.
-When foods are frozen, normally after about 24 hours, always remember to return the fast freezing switch “E” to its original position (yellow light “C” OFF) since this will save energy.
Attention: Do not forget to change the temperature set- ting if you want to avoid useless wastes of energy.
-In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature
inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 20 hours.
-Do not place full bottles in the freezer because liquids increase in volume when they freeze and this could cause the bottles to burst.
Storage
For best storage of
Follow the instructions on the packages of frozen foods scrupu- lously. If none are provided, do not store the food for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.
When purchasing frozen foods, make sure that they have been stored at the proper temperature and that the package is properly sealed. When purchasing frozen foods, it is best to transport them in appropriate containers to keep them cold and then place them in the freezer immediately.
If the package is damp on the outside or is abnormally swollen, it is likely that the package was stored at an inadequate tempera- ture and the food has deteriorated.
