Start-up and use

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.
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
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.
12
4 = coldest
•
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.
• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in
the 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.
! 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.
