Usin the freezer to its full potential
Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to adjust the
temperature (see Description).
Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has
alread been defrosted. These foods must be cooked
and eaten (within 24 hours).
Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into
contact with food that has alread been defrosted. Fresh
food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE
compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C
and guarantees rapid freezing.
Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and
which are corked or hermeticall sealed in the freezer
because the could break.

Fast Freeze position (the ellow FAST FREEZE
indicator light should be on).
2. Place the fresh food ou wish to freeze inside the upper
FREEZER and STORAGE compartment, making sure it
is not in contact with food that has alread been frozen
and, if possible, position it so that it is in direct contact
with the cooling shelves. Bear in mind that for food to
be frozen and stored in good condition, the freezing
process should take place quickl . For this reason, we
recommend that ou turn the knob to the Fast Freeze
position 24 hours before placing fresh food in the
freezer. This action is necessar when freezing large
quantities of food (up to the maximum amount indicated
on the data plate).
3. Placing large amounts of fresh food in the freezer ma
temporaril increase the temperature inside the
appliance (this is indicated when the red ALARM light
illuminates). This situation, as it is onl temporar , does
not adversel affect the storage conditions of food that
is alread frozen.
4. After 24 hours, once the freezing process is complete,
return the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to its
normal operating position.
! remember to readjust the temperature in order to avoid
wasting energ .

Follow the instructions given on the packaging of frozen
food carefull and consume the products within 3
months of the date the were bought.
When bu ing frozen food, ensure that it has been stored
at a suitable temperature and that the packaging is
intact. To maintain the qualit of frozen food, use
suitable bags or containers when transporting it and
place it inside the freezer as soon as possible.
If the packaging shows signs of moisture or unusual
swelling, it is likel that the product has been stored

In order to obtain a larger amount of space in the
freezer, ou can remove the central drawer, and place
the food directl onto the evaporator plate. Make sure
that, after having inserted the load, the door closes

! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the
freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside
the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9
-14 hours.
! WARNING Indicator Light. When this red WARNING light
comes on for a prolonged period of time, it means that the
freezer is not functioning properl and the temperature is
rising too much. (Call our Service Centre)
This warning light might come on for a brief period when:
a) the door is left open for an extended period of time
(when the freezer is being loaded or unloaded).
