Start-up and use  
- for large quantities which are greater than the maximum  
load indicated on the data plate, hold down the rapid  
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).  
Starting the appliance  
GB  
! 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).  
! 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.  
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);

Maintenance and care  
Switching the appliance off  
GB  
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to  
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:  
1. set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL Knob on OFF;  
2. pull the plug out of the socket.  
! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound.  
This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore  
normal operation, turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL  
knob to the OFF position and then turn it back to the  
desired value. To disconnect the appliance, follow point 1  
and 2.  
Cleaning the appliance  
• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber  
seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been  
soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or  
neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products,  
bleach or ammonia.  
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm  
water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry  
them carefully.  
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can  
be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum  
cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be  
switched off and the plug must be pulled out before  
cleaning the appliance.  
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours  
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials  
which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free  
refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food  
must always be covered or sealed properly.  
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended  
period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors  
open.

Precautions and tips  
! The appliance was designed and manufactured in  
Disposal  
GB  
compliance with international safety standards. The  
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and  
must be read carefully.  
• Observe local environmental standards when  
disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.  
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires  
that old household electrical appliances must not be  
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste  
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately  
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the  
materials they contain and reduce the impact on  
human health and the environment. The crossed out  
“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of  
your obligation, that when you dispose of the  
appliance it must be separately collected.  
This appliance complies with the following  
Community Directives:  
- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and  
subsequent amendments;  
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic  
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;  
- 2002/96/CE..  
General safety  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal  
of their old appliance.  
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the  
home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.  
• The appliance must be used to store and freeze food  
products by adults only and according to the  
instructions in this manual.  
Respecting and conserving the  
environment  
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in  
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the  
appliance exposed to rain and storms.  
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated  
room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight  
and do not place it near heat sources.  
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or  
moist hands and feet.  
• WARNING: do not damage the refrigerant circuit.  
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or  
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve  
energy.  
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements:  
this  
could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.  
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air  
must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly.  
If circulation is impeded, the compressor will work  
continuously.  
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug  
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.  
• Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the  
appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It is  
not sufficient to set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knobs  
on OFF (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.  
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The  
internal temperature will increase and force the  
compressor to work harder and will consume more  
energy.  
• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances  
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.  
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may  
cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance.  
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to  
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air  
from escaping (see Maintenance).  
• Do not use utensils other than the scraper provided, or  
electrical equipment which is not of the type specified by  
the manufacturer, inside the frozen food storage  
compartments.  
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into  
your mouth.  
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play  
with the appliance. Under no circumstance should they  
be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang from the door.  
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It  
can become a choking or suffocation hazard.
