(class N); +10°C and +32°C (class SN). The
class f y ur appliance is sh wn n its rating
plate.
Warning: when the ambient temperature is n t
included within the range indicated f r the class
f this appliance, the f ll wing instructi ns must
be bserved: when the ambient temperature
dr ps bel w the minimum level, the st rage
temperature in the freezer c mpartment cann t

8. reassemble the middle hinge n the pp site
side;
9. reassemble the l wer d r;
10. using a 10 mm spanner, unscrew the hinge pin
(E) and reassemble it n the pp site side f the
hinge;
11. reassemble the l wer hinge (E) n the pp site
side, using the screws previ usly rem ved. Slide
the h le c ver (F) ut f the ventilati n grille (D)
by pushing it in the directi n f the arr w and
reassemble it n the pp site side;
12. refit the ventilati n grille (D), clipping it int
place.
13. Unscrew the handles. Re½t them n the
pp site side.
T line up the d rs, it is p ssible t adjust the

Warning:
After having reversed the opening direction of
the doors check that all the screws are properly
tightened and that the magnetic seal adheres to
the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is c ld (i.e.
in Winter), the gasket may n t fit perfectly t the
cabinet. In that case, wait f r the natural fitting f the
gasket r accelerate this pr cess by heating up the

Conservation of deep-frozen food
At the time f startup r after a peri d ut f acti n,
place the f d in the appliance after having run it f r
at least tw h urs in Acti n Freeze m de, then take
it ut f this m de.
Important
In the event of accidental thawing, for example
through interruption to the power supply, if the
length of the period of interruption is higher than
the value indicated in the technical data table
under the heading "recovery period", it will be
necessary to consume the food rapidly or to
cook it immediately and refreeze it (once it has
cooled down).
Freezing fresh food
The secti n is suitable f r freezing fresh
f d and f r l ng-term c nservati n f fr zen and
deep-fr zen f d.
F r freezing fresh f d, activate the Acti n freeze
functi n at least 24 h urs in advance.
Place the f d t be fr zen in the t p secti n as it is
the c ldest p int.
M. Alarm warning light
N. Alarm disarming button
An abn rmal rise in the temperature f the freezer
secti n (e.g. electrical p wer failure) is indicated by
warning light (M) flashing, and by an audible signal.
When c nditi ns return t n rmal, the audible signal will
switch ff, while the alarm warning light c ntinues t
flash.
If the alarm butt n (N) is pressed, the indicat r (H)
displays f r a few sec nds the warmest temperature
reached in the secti n. The audible signal, if s unding,
will switch ff.
Startup and temperature
adjustment
• Insert the plug in the mains s cket. Press butt n
(G). The freezer secti n is n w running.The
freezer secti n is set t a temperature f -18°C.
This temperature will be reached in several
h urs.
• As s n as the freezer is running, the indicat r
(H) displays the current temperature in the
freezer, the alarm warning light (M) flashes and
the audible signal is activated.
• Press the alarm butt n (N)
• The audible signal switches ff, while the alarm
warning light (M) c ntinues t flash until the set
temperature is reached.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with ne r m re trays
f r the pr ducti n f ice-cubes. Fill these trays with
water, then put them in the freezer c mpartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
Thawing
Deep-fr zen r fr zen f d, pri r t being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerat r c mpartment r at
