INSTALLATION
• Refer to chapter “Before using the appliance”.
• Unpack the appliance.
• Remove the 4 protection pieces inserted between lid
and appliance (Fig 3).
• Warning: two of the four protection pieces must be
fitted in the seat of the condenser plastic supports,
located at the rear of the product (Fig. 3).
This is necessary to ensure the correct distance from the
wall.
• Ensure that the defrosting water drainage plug (if
provided) is correctly positioned (4).
• For best operation of the appliance and in order to
avoid damage when the lid is opened, leave a space of at
least 7 cm from the rear wall and 7 cm at the sides.
• Fit the accessories (if provided).
• Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.
DIAGRAM OF THE CONTROL PANEL (Fig. 2)
a. Red LED: when flashing, it indicates that an alarm condition
is present see TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE"
b. Green LEDS: they indicate that the appliance is in
operation, and the temperature has been set as follows:
b1 less cold temperature (right light on), use this setting
with partial loads will optimize energy consumption.
b2 middle temperature (center light on)
b3 very cold temperature (left light on)
ALL Green LEDs ON: FAST FREEZING function is active;
see the section “freezing fresh food”.
c. Temperature setting button: to adjust the set
temperature and to activate/deactivate the fast freezing
operations.
To select the desired temperature, repeatedly press the
setting button (3): each time the button is pressed, the set
temperature is updated.
To activate/deactivate fast freezing function, pressing for
approximately 3 seconds: all green LEDs flash
simultaneously 3 times and then remain lit.
Note:
The settings will be saved in the memory even if a power
cut occurs. The time needed for the temperature inside the
freezer to reach the set value, can vary depending on
climatic conditions and the set temperature itself.
Switching on the appliance
• Plug in the appliance.
• The green LED lights up (middle temperature).
• The red LED flashes to indicate that the temperature
inside the appliance is not yet sufficiently low for food
storage. The red LED will normally switch off within the
first six hours after the appliance is switched on.
• Place food inside the product only when the red LED
has switched off.
Note: As the seal is tight, the appliance lid cannot be
reopened immediately after closing. Wait a few minutes
before re-opening the lid of the appliance.
FREEZING FOOD
Preparation of fresh food for freezing
• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: Aluminium
foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags,
polyethylene containers with lids, provided they are
suitable for freezing foods.
• Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in
order to obtain high quality frozen food.
• Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen
as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original
nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavour.
• Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the
appliance.
Freezing fresh food
• Place foods to be frozen in direct contact with the walls
of appliance (Fig. 4)
A) - foods to be frozen,
B) - foods already frozen.
• Avoid placing foods to be frozen in direct contact with
food already frozen.
• For best and fastest freezing, foods should be split into
small portions; this will also be useful when the frozen
items are to be used.
1. At least 24 hours before storing fresh foods inside the
product for freezing, activate the fast freezing function by
pressing button c for approximately 3 seconds. All green
LEDs (b) comes on.
2. Introduce the food to freeze inside the appliance, and
keep the door of the appliance closed for 24 hours. After
this period the food will be frozen. The fast freezing

function can be deactivated pressing button c for
approximately 3 seconds.
If the fast freeze function is not manually deactivated, it
will be automatically deactivated by the appliance after
50 hours.
FOOD STORAGE
Refer to the table on the appliance.
Classification of frozen foods
Put the frozen products into the appliance and classify
them; the storage date should be indicated on the packs,
to allow use within expiry dates listed in months in Fig. 5
for each type of food.
Advice for storing frozen food
When purchasing frozen food products:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food
in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the
package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have
been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may
have already begun.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
• Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in
the appliance.
• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the
minimum Respect the best-before date on the package.
• Always observe the storage information on the package.
Note:
Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately.
Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has
thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.
If there is a long power failure:
• Do not open the appliance lid except to place ice packs
(if provided) over the frozen foods on the right and left
of the appliance. This will slow down the rise in
temperature.
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of
ice on the walls reaches 5-6 mm.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply.
• Remove the packs of food from the appliance and wrap
them close together in newspaper and store in a very
cool place or thermally insulated bag.
• Leave the appliance lid open.
• Remove the internal defrost water drain plug
(depending on model) (Fig. 6).
• Remove the external defrost water drain plug
(depending on model) and reposition it as shown in the
figure 6.
• Place a bowl beneath the drainage channel to collect
the residual water. If available, use the divider (Fig. 6).
• Speed up defrosting by using a spatula to detach the ice
from the appliance walls.
• Remove the ice from the bottom of the appliance.
• In order to avoid permanent damage to the appliance
interior, do not use pointed or sharp metal instruments
for removing the ice.
• Do not use abrasive products or heat up the interior
artificially.
• Dry the interior of the appliance thoroughly.
• On completion of the defrosting, refit the plug.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Remove the ice from the upper edge (see the
Troubleshooting Guide).
• Clean the inside after defrosting, using a sponge
dampened with warm water and/or mild detergent.
• Clean the side motor cooling grille (depending on
model).
• Remove dust from the condenser on the rear of the
appliance.
Before carrying out maintenance, unplug the appliance.
Do not use abrasive products, scourers or stain-
removers (e.g. acetone, trichloroethylene) to clean the
appliance.
To obtain the best results from your appliance, carry out
cleaning and maintenance at least once a year.
CHANGING THE LID LIGHT BULB (if provided)
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply.
• Remove the diffuser by following the sequence of steps
shown in the figure 7.
• Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with an identical
bulb of the same wattage and voltage.
• Refit the diffuser and plug in the appliance.
