Operation

Switching on

Insert the plug into the wall socket.

Turn the Temperature Regulator to "SUPER" position and leave to run for 4 hours to allow the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside.

Turn the Temperature Regulator to "NORMAL" position.

The Temperature Regulator is situated on the side of the cabinet.

Switching off

To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature Regulator to the "STOP" position.

First use

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the inte- rior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

Daily use

Freezing fresh food

The freezing (top) area is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time. To freeze fresh food turn the Temperature Regulator to "SUPER" position 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer.

Place the food on the freezing shelf and leave the Temper- ature Regulator in "SUPER" position for a further 24 hours.

The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate, a label located on the inside of the appliance.

The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

After 24 hours, return the Temperature Regulator to "NOR- MAL" position. The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. Place the frozen food in the storing (bottom) area to make room for another freezing.

If the Temperature Regulator is left in the "SUPER" position, the freezer will not be damaged, but energy

will be wasted.

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the freezer let the appliance run at least 4 hours with the Temperature Regulator to "SUPER" position.

Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooling).

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed at room temperature.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
