• Before switching on, place the appliance in
an upright position and wait at least three
hours without moving the appliance. This will
give the freezing circuit time to settle and
operate efficiently.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially
the interior, before use (see Cleaning and
Maintenance).
Warning: Installation of the appliance and
electrical connections must be carried out
by a qualified technician in accordance
with the installation manual and local
regulations.
• The procedure for installation the appliance
into the kitchen unit is given in the installation
section of this information booklet. This product
is only intended to be used in proper kitchen
units.
• The appliance must be connected with a
properly installed fused socket. Power supply
(AC) and voltage at the operating point must
comply with the details on the name plate of
the appliance (the name plate is located on the
inside-left of the appliance).
• Insert the plug into a socket with an efficient
ground connection. If the socket has no
ground contact or the plug does not match, we
suggest you to call an authorised electrician for

The freezer thermostat automatically regulates
the inside temperature of the compartments. By
rotating the knob from positions 1 to 5, colder
temperatures can be obtained. The “0” position
shows the thermostat is closed and no cooling
will be available.
Freezer Thermostat Setting;
0: The appliance is switched off.
1-2: For short-term storage of food in the freezer
compartment, set the knob between the
minimum and medium position.
3-4: For long-term storage of food in the
freezer compartment, set knob to the
medium position.
5: For freezing fresh food. The appliance will
run for colder temperatures.
SF: The compressor will start to run continuously
with maximum performance. The freezer
temperature will decrease and the appliance
will switch to the lowest temperature. Place
the food to be frozen quickly inside the
freezer, preferably in the middle drawers.
Once the food is frozen, you must set the
thermostat knob to the desired position.
Note 1: Observe that the orange lamp will light
when the compressor runs. Therefore, when SF
is active, the compressor will run continuously
and the lamp will light continuously.
Note 2: The ambient temperature (temperature
of the freshly stored food and how often the
door is opened) affects the temperature in
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. If
required, change the temperature setting.

Food storage in the appliance
• The freezer is used for freezing fresh foods and
for storing frozen foods for the period of time
indicated on the packaging, and for making ice
cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh
food properly - the packaging should be airtight
and should not leak. Special freezer bags,
aluminium foil (heavy grade; if in doubt double-
wrap), polythene bags, and plastic containers
are ideal.
• While freezing food, the maximum amount of
fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours
is indicated on the appliance label.
• For optimum appliance performance in
maximum freezing capacity, turn knob to the
fast freeze position when placing fresh food in
the freezer.
• After placing fresh food in the freezer, the 24
hours setting on the fast freeze function is
generally sufficient. After 24 hours, deactivate
the fast freeze function.
• Attention: in order to save energy, when
freezing small amounts of food the fast freeze
function can be deactivated.
• Do not allow fresh food to be frozen to come
into contact with already frozen food.
• Always mark the date and the content on the
pack and do not exceed the stated storage
time.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the
freezer compartment will maintain a sufficiently
low temperature for food storage. However,
avoid opening the freezer door in order to
slow down the temperature rise within the
freezer compartment.
• The maximum amount of fresh foods that
can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours
is indicated on the name plate (see Freezing
Capacity).
• Never place warm food in the freezer
compartment.
• When purchasing and storing frozen food
products, ensure that the packaging is not
damaged.
• Storage time and recommended temperature
for storing frozen food is indicated on the
packaging. For storing and usage, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. If no information is
provided, food should not be stored for more
than 3 months.
• Following purchase, place frozen food in the
freezer compartment as soon as possible.
• Once food is thawed it must not be refrozen;
you must cook it as quickly as possible for
consumption or freeze once again.
• When making ice cubes, fill the ice tray with
water and place in the freezer compartment.
After the water has completely turned into ice,
twist the tray to get the ice cubes out.
Storage: if you want to use the freezer’s
maximum net capacity, remove the drawers and

After a period of time, frost will build up in certain
areas in the freezer compartment. The frost,
accumulated in the freezer, should be removed
periodically using the ice scraper (if available).
To maintain the efficiency of the freezer, complete
defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer
exceeds 3-5mm.
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat
dial to position “5” to freeze the foods
completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be
wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in
a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature
will shorten their storage life. Remember to use
these foods within a relatively short period of
time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “0” and
switch off the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting.
Remove the defrosted water from the
compartment.
• If there is defrosted water on the freezer floor,
you can clear it away by using a sponge.
• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water
and a little detergent.
Never use abrasive products or aggressive
cleaning agents.
• Dry the inside of the unit, plug it into the mains,
and set the thermostat knob to position “5”.
After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the
desired position.
• Do not pour water over the appliance.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap
and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or
soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water
and dry carefully. When the cleaning
operations have been completed, reconnect
the plug with dry hands.
Warning: never use sharp metal tools for
this operation unless recommended by
the manufacturer, as they can damage
the freezing circuit.

up (use the defrost drain plug to clean the drain
hole).
IMPORTANT NOTES
• In case of a sudden power loss or
disconnecting reconnecting of the plug to the
electrical socket, the compressor’s protective
thermal element will be opened as the pressure
of the gas in the cooling system of your freezer
has not yet been balanced. 4 or 5 minutes
later, your freezer will start to operate; this is
normal.
