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.

1.Plug the appliance in and make sure the GREEN and RED indicator lights are illuminated (press the ON/ OFF switch so it is in the - position).

2.Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the Super position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated).

3.When the red indicator light switches off, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium position. The freezer is now ready to be used.

Using the freezer to its full potential

•Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to adjust the temperature.

1 = warmest 4 = 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 food, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the Super position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated). Place the food you wish to freeze in the top compartment, making sure it does not come into contact with any items which are already frozen. After 24 hours, once the freezing process is complete, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated).

! Remember to carry out this last step in order.

•Placing large amounts of fresh food in the freezer may temporarily increase the temperature inside the appliance (this is indicated when the RED indicator 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
	GB
freezer compartment, you may remove the bins
(except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE
ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature)
and place the food directly onto the evaporator
plates.

•To freeze a lower amount of food than that indicated on the data plate, position the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to SUPER (yellow indicator light on) and introduce the foodstuffs into the upper compartment.

After 24 hours, once the freezing process is complete, reposition the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium position (yellow indicator light off).

To freeze the same amount of food as that indicated on the data plate, position the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to SUPER (yellow indicator light on) 24 hours prior to introducing the foodstuffs to be frozen; introduce the foodstuffs then wait a further 24 hours before re-positioning the knob to the normal operation position.

!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.

!RED Indicator Light. When this red 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) when the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is set to the Super position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated).

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.
