correct temperature to be reached
before placing food inside.
The power indicator light will light up.
3. Adjust the Temperature Regulator
according to the quantity of the stored
foods.
Switching off
Turn the Temperature regulator to the
OFF position.
Temperature regulation
The temperature within the appliance is
controlled by the Temperature Regulator
situated on the control panel.

To operate the appliance, proceed as
follows:
• to obtain the minimum coldness, turn
the Temperature Regulator toward
lower settings.
• to obtain the maximum coldness. turn
the Temperature Regulator toward
higher settings.
In case of freezing less food
volumes, the Half Loaded
setting is the most suitable. In
case of freezing much food
volumes, the Full Loaded
setting is the most suitable.
High temperature alarm
An increase in the temperature in the
freezer (for example due to a power
failure) is indicated by switching on of the
Alarm light .
During the alarm phase, don't place food
inside the freezer.

DAILY USE
WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rating plate (refer to "Technical data").
The freezing process lasts 24 hours:
during this period do not add other food to
be frozen.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
24 hours Temperature Regulator to the
Full Loaded position.
CAUTION! 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).
Opening and closing the lid
CAUTION! Never pull the
handle with immense force.
As the lid is equipped with a tightly closing
seal, it is not easy to reopen it shortly after
closing (due to the vacuum formed inside).
Wait for few minutes before reopening the
appliance.
The vacuum valve will help you to open
the lid.
Security lock
The freezer is equipped with a special lock
in order to avoid accidental locking. The
lock is designed in such manner that you
can turn the key and thus close the lid
6
only if you previously push the key into the
lock.
1. To lock the freezer, push the key into
the lock gently and turn the key
clockwise towards the symbol .
2. To open the freezer, push the key into
the lock gently and turn the key
counter-clockwise towards the symbol
.
Spare keys are available at the
local Authorised Service
Centre.
WARNING! Keep the keys well
away from children.
Make sure to remove the key
from the lock before you
discard the old appliance.
Freezing Calendar
The symbols show different types of
frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in
months for the appropriate types of frozen
goods. Whether the upper or lower value
of the indicated storage time is valid
depends on the quality of the foods and
treating before freezing.
Storage baskets
Hang the baskets on the upper edge of
the freezer (A) or place them inside the
freezer (B). Turn and fix the handles for
these two positions as shown in the
picture.

HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which
can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on
the rating plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours.
No further food to be frozen should be
added during this period.
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs.
• Prepare food in small portions to
enable it to be rapidly and completely
frozen and to make it possible
subsequently to thaw only the quantity
required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the
packages are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen, thus
7
avoiding a rise in temperature of the
latter.
• Lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life
of food.
• Water ices, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer
compartment, can possibly cause the
skin to be freeze burnt.
• It is advisable to show the freezing in
date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by
the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the store to the freezer
in the shortest possible time;
• not open the lid frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates
rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, the interior and all internal
accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap to
remove the typical smell of a brand-new
product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION! Do not use
detergents, abrasive powders,
chlorine or oil-based cleaners
as they will damage the finish.
Periodic cleaning
CAUTION! Unplug the
appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
Do not use detergents,
abrasive products, highly
perfumed cleaning products or
wax polishes to clean the inner
side of the appliance.
Prevent damage to the cooling
system.
There is no need to clean the
compressor area.
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Regularly clean the appliance and the
accessories with warm water and
neutral soap.
Clean the lid seal carefully.
3. Fully dry the appliance.
4. Connect the mains plug to the mains
socket.
5. Switch on the appliance.
Defrosting the freezer
CAUTION! Never use sharp
metal tools to scrape off frost
as you could damage the
appliance. Do not use a
mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than
those recommended by the
manufacturer. A temperature
rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 10-15 mm.
The amount of frost on the walls of the
appliance will be increased by the high
level of the outer environment humidity
8
and if the frozen food is not wrapped
properly.
The best time to defrost the freezer when
it contains no or only a little food.
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.
3. Leave the lid open , remove the plug
from the defrost water drain and collect
all defrost water on a tray.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the
interior thoroughly and refit the plug.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain
the maximum coldness and run the
appliance for two or three hours using
this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food
into the compartment.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Switch off the appliance and
disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
2. Remove all food
3. Defrost and clean the appliance and all
accessories.
4. Leave the lid open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on,
ask somebody to check it once
in a while to prevent the food
inside from spoiling in case of a
power failure.
