1SafetyWarnings

ENGLISH

WheredoIstart?

Before turning on:

✔ Remove base from packaging.

Remove wedges and tapes from the

internal components.

✔Clean your product inside with a

soft cloth or sponge, lukewarm

water and mild soap.

✔ Do not use sharp objects, alcohol,

flammable products or abrasive

cleaners. They can damage the

painting of your freezer and/or

refrigerant circuit.

✔Do not place nor use electrical

apparatuses within the product.

Important:

✔Never connect your freezer to

double or triple extension

cords together with another

appliance in the same wall

outlet. Do not use an extension

cord. That may overload power

supply, impairing the

operation of your

freezer, and

resulting in

fire accidents.

Use an exclusive

wall outlet only.

✔In case of voltage oscillation,

install an automatic voltage

stabilizer with power output of

at least 1000W between the

freezer and the wall outlet.

✔If the power supply cord is

damaged, it must be replaced

by one of the same type or by

a special set provided by the

manufacturer or its authorized

technical service.

INSTALLING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move

and install the freezer.

Failure to do so can result in back

or other injury.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Connect the ground wire to an

effective ground.

Do not remove ground wire.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these

instructions can result in death,

fire or electrical shock.

✔Check if the voltage

supplied is the same

as that on the tag

attached near the

plug. The freezer

shall be connected to

a good wall outlet.

Power supply of your residence:

The electric wires of your residence

shall be of copper and have minimum

sections of 2.5mm2.

Ground wire (grounding):

For your safety, properly connect the

freezer ground wire (green wire

behind the product). Improper

connection of the ground

ENGLISH

Location:

The freezer shall neither be installed

near heat sources (stove, heater etc.)

nor in a location where it is exposed to

direct sunlight.

Installation in an

inadequate location

impairs the operation

of the freezer and

increases power

consumption.

How to build in:

Consider the following minimum

distances to assure good air

circulation:

✔10 cm

at the sides.

✔10 cm

at the back.

✔15 cm at the top.

By doing so you will ensure the good

performance of the product.

You will also prevent your freezer

components from touching walls, other

products or furniture avoiding

unpleasant noise.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials such

as gasoline away from freezer.

Failure to do so can result in

death, explosion, or fire.

Important:

✔ To facilitate the closing of

door, turn the stabilizing feet a

little further, slightly tilting the

product backwards.

Door reversal:

Your freezer leaves factory opening to

the left. In case you wish the doors to

open to the right, call a service agent

or your dealer to avoid the risk of

accidents. Door reversal is not

covered by the warranty. This service

will be charged.

Fire Hazard

Never place lit candles or similar

products (oil lamp) on top of the

freezer.

Failure to follow this instruction

can result in life or fire risk.

Leveling feet:

Place the freezer in its

final position. Turn the

stabilizing feet

located in the front of

the product so that

they touch the floor,

leveling the product.

Heating on the sides:

✔Heating of some external areas

of the freezer is normal. That

happens to avoid the formation

of moisture. However, under

critical conditions of room

temperature and humidity,

moisture may be observed. Dry

the product with a soft cloth.

wire may result in electrical shock or

other injuries. If the installation site is

not provided with grounding, check

with a reliable electrician to provide it.

3UsingtheFreezer

The internal

temperature of you

freezer can be set to

better meet food

preservation

conditions according

to the room

temperature of your house.

HOW TO OPERATE THE

FREEZING CONTROL The freezing control of your freezer

leaves factory set to medium.

To adjust the control, do follow the

table below.

To adjust the internal temperature,

rotate the freezing control knob to the

desired settings.

ENGLISH

✔Food shall be stored in adequate

packages like plastic bags or

containers with hermetic lids.

This procedure avoids

the removal of natural

humidity from the

food, preserving

quality.

✔When storing food in

the freezer, prepare small portions to

allow faster freezing and the entire

use of each portion.

✔Do not place hot foods inside the

freezer. Allow them to cool to room

temperature. That helps

saving power

consumption, and

assures the good

operation of the

product.

✔Try to open the door

only as long as it takes to place and

remove food.You will be reducing

power consumption and improving

the performance of your freezer.

✔Allow at least 1 minute before

opening the freezer door.

The internal vacuum makes opening

of the door difficult immediately

after it has been closed.

STORING FOOD

Important:

✔It is recommended to operate

the freezer for at least 2 hours

before storing food or beverages

in it. That time is necessary for

temperature to stabilize inside

the product.

✔Once defrosted, foods should

not be refrozen as they might

lose their natural characteristics.

✔Liquids increase in volume

when frozen. Take care when

storing bottles or other closed

containers in the freezer.

They may brake.

✔Do not store toxic products in

your freezer as they may

contaminate foods.

✔Each freezer is able to freeze a

maximum amount of food at every

24 hours. Avoid exceeding the

freezing capacity of your product.

See “Technical Characteristics”

(pg. 10).

✔Always observe the expiration date

of frozen food, indicated by the

manufacturer.

✔When opening the door, it is

normal for the lower drawer, basket

fronts and the door of the fast

freezing compartment of your

freezer to fog up due to the entry of

hot air.

Using the shelf (removable):

To store a bigger amounts of food or

large foods, remove the

baskets and shelves.

ENGLISH

FreezerComponents

Fast freezing is an effective way to

preserve the natural characteristics of

food. When fast freezing, the ice

crystallization phase - that takes place

between 0°C and -5°C

- is faster which

minimizes the loss of

water in the food and

preserves its natural

constitution.

Food freezes gradually.

✔Your freezer is provided with a

compartment ideal to speed up the

freezing of foods.

✔For a faster freezing, place food in

this compartment and press the fast

freezing key in the control panel.

The yellow light in the panel will go

on, indicating that the fast freezing

function is actuated.

This function does not turn off

automatically.

FAST FREEZING Important:

✔We recommend to turn the

fast freezing function off after

26 hours.

✔These models of freezers are

provided with a

plastic complement

on the right-hand-

side of the second

shelf. Under normal

usage conditions,

there will be no ice

formation in this

area.

✔In case you wish to interrupt the

fast freezing function, at any time

press the key that actuates this

function.

✔See freezing capacity in “Technical

Characteristics” (pg. 10).
