Switching on
1. Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2. Turn the temperature regulator
clockwise to a medium setting.
The Power indicator light and the Alarm
light will light up.
Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the
Temperature regulator to the "O" position.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated.
1. Turn the Temperature regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum
coldness.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
A medium setting is generally the most
suitable. However, the exact setting
should be chosen keeping in mind that
the temperature inside the appliance
depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
If the ambient temperature is high or
the appliance is fully loaded, and the
appliance is set to the lowest
temperatures, it may run continuously
causing frost to form on the rear wall.
In this case the regulator knob must be
set to a higher temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and therefore
reduced energy consumption.
FastFreeze function
To activate the FastFreeze function, press
the FastFreeze switch.
The FastFreeze light will light up.

OPERATION
High temperature alarm
Temperature increase in the freezer
compartment (for example due to an earlier
power failure or door is open) is indicated
by alarm light flashing.
When normal conditions are restored the
alarm light will stop flashing.

OPERATION
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
Initial power on
CAUTION!
Before inserting the power plug in to
the outlet and switching on the cabinet
for the first time, leave the appliance
standing upright for at least 4 hours.
This will assure a sufficient amount of
time for the oil to return to the
compressor. Otherwise the
compressor or electronic components
may sustain damage.
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
2 hours with the FastFreeze function turned
on. The freezer drawers ensure that it is
quick and easy to find the food package
you want. If large quantities of food are to
be stored, remove all drawers except for
the bottom drawer which needs to be in
place to provide good air circulation. On all
shelves it is possible to place food that
protrude until 15 mm from the door.
WARNING!
In the event of accidental defrosting,
for example due to a power failure, if
the power has been off for longer that
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).
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze small amount of fresh foods it is
not necessary to change the present
setting.
To freeze fresh food activate the
FastFreeze function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in the
freezer compartment.
Place the food to be frozen in the two top
compartments.
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.
When the freezing process is completed,
return to the required temperature (see
"FastFreeze Function").
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.
Removal of freezing baskets
and glass shelves from the
freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to
prevent their accidental removal or falling
out. At the time of its removal from the
freezer, pull the basket towards yourself
and, upon reaching the end point, remove
the basket by tilting its front upwards.
