3.4 Accessories
Visual and text descriptions in the
accessories section may vary according
to the model of your appliance.
3.4.1 Ice Tray
• Fill the ice tray with water and place in
the freezer compartment.
• After the water has completely frozen,
you can twist the tray as shown below to
remove the ice cubes.
3.4.2 The Plastic Scraper
After some time, frost will build up in certain
areas of the freezer. The frost
accumulated in the freezer
should be removed regularly.
Use the plastic scraper
provided, if necessary. Do not
use sharp metal objects for this
operation. They could puncture the
refrigerator circuit and cause irreparable
damage to the unit.
4 FOOD STORAGE
• The freezer is used for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food, and making ice
cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal
fresh food properly, that is the packaging
should be air tight and shouldn’t leak.
Special freezer bags, aluminum foil
polythene bags and plastic containers
are ideal.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen
food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into
portions that can be consumed in one
sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a
short period of time after defrosting
• Never place warm food in the freezer
compartment as it will thaw the frozen
food.
• Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions on food packaging when
storing frozen food. If no information is
provided food, should not be stored for
more than 3 months from the date of
purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure
that it has been stored under appropriate
conditions and that the packaging is not
damaged.
• Frozen food should be transported in
appropriate containers and placed in the
freezer as soon as possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the
packaging shows signs of humidity
and abnormal swelling. It is probable
that it has been stored at an unsuitable
temperature and that the contents have
deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends
on the room temperature, the thermostat
setting, how often the door is opened,
the type of food, and the length of time
required to transport the product from
the shop to your home. Always follow the
instructions printed on the packaging and
never exceed the maximum storage life
indicated.
EN - 14
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in
kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is
indicated on the appliance label.
• While freezing food; use the bottom
drawer.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer
door immediately after closing it, you
will find that it will not open easily. This
is normal. Once equilibrium has been
reached, the door will open easily.
Important note:
• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked
dishes (anise, basilica, watercress,
vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic,
onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black
pepper, etc.) changes and they assume
a strong taste when they are stored for a
long period of time. Therefore, add small
amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or
the desired spice should be added after
the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent
on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are
margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter.
Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in
plastic cups and other food should be
frozen in plastic folios or bags.

5 CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the unit from the power
supply before cleaning.
Do not wash your appliance by
pouring water on it.
Do not use abrasive products,
detergents or soaps for cleaning the
appliance. After washing, rinse with clean
water and dry carefully. When you have
finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the
mains supply with dry hands.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp
housing and other electrical components.
• The appliance should be cleaned
regularly using a solution of bicarbonate
of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately by
hand with soap and water. Do not wash
accessories in a dish washer.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at least
twice a year. This will help you to save on
energy costs and increase productivity.
The power supply must be
disconnected during cleaning.
5.1 Defrosting
Freezer defrosting process
• Small amounts of frost will accumulate
inside the freezer, depending on the
length of time the door may be left open
or the amount of moisture introduced.
It is essential to ensure that no frost or
ice is allowed to form in places where
it will affect the close fitting of the door
seal. This might allow air to penetrate the
cabinet, encouraging continuous running
of the compressor. Thin frost formation
is quite soft and can be removed with a
brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal
or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or
other means to accelerate the defrosting
process. Remove all dislodged frost from
the cabinet floor. It is not necessary to
switch off the appliance for the removal
of thin frost.
• For the removal of heavy ice deposits,
disconnect the appliance from the
mains supply, empty the contents into
cardboard boxes and wrap in thick
blankets or layers of paper to keep cool.
Defrosting will be most effective if carried
out when the freezer is nearly empty
and should be carried out as quickly
as possible to prevent an unnecessary
increase in the temperature of the
contents.
• Do not use metal or sharp scrapers,
mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process. An
increase in temperature of frozen food
during defrosting will shorten the storage
life. Keep contents well wrapped and cool
while defrosting is taking place.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a
sponge or a clean cloth.
• To accelerate the defrosting process,
place one or more bowls of warm water
EN - 17
in the freezer compartment.
• Examine the contents when replacing
them in the freezer and if some of the
packages have thawed out, they should
be eaten within 24hours, or be cooked
and re-frozen.
• After defrosting is complete, clean the
inside of the appliance with a solution
of warm water and a little bicarbonate
of soda, then dry thoroughly. Wash all
removable parts in the same way and
reassemble. Reconnect the appliance
to the mains supply and leave for 2 to
3 hours on setting number '3' before
introducing the food back into the freezer.
6 SHIPMENT AND
REPOSITIONING
6.1 Transportation and Changing
Positioning
• The original packaging and foam may be
kept for re-transportation (optional).
• Fasten your appliance with thick
packaging, bands or strong cords and
follow the instructions for transportation
on the packaging.
• Remove all movable parts (drawers,
Ice trays and so on) or fix them into the
appliance against shocks using bands
when re-positioning or transporting.
Always carry your appliance in the

7 BEFORE CALLING AFTER-
SALES SERVICE
If your freezer is not working properly,
there may be a minor problem. Check the
following.
The appliance does not operate
Check if:
• There is power
• The mains is connected
• The thermostat setting is on the “•”
position
• The socket is defective. To check this,
plug another working appliance into the
same socket.
The appliance performs poorly
Check if:
• The appliance is overloaded
• The appliance door is closed properly
• There is any dust on the condenser
• There is enough space near the rear and
side walls.
The appliance is noisy
The cooling gas which circulates in
the freezer circuit may make a slight
noise (bubbling sound) even when the
compressor is not running. Do not worry,
this is normal. If you hear a different sound,
check whether:
• The appliance is level
• Anything is touching the rear of the
appliance
• Objects in the appliance are vibrating.
Recommendations
• If the appliance is switched off or
unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before
plugging the appliance in or restarting
it in order to prevent damage to the
compressor.
• If you will not use your freezer for a long
time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it.
Clean your freezer according to chapter
cleaning and leave the door open to
prevent humidity and smell.
EN - 18
• If a problem persists after you have
followed all the above instructions,
please consult the nearest authorised
service centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is
designed for domestic use only. It is not
suitable for commercial or common use.
If the consumer uses the appliance in a
way that does not comply with this, we
emphasise that the manufacturer and
the dealer will not be responsible for any
repair and failure within the guarantee
period.
8 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well-
ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight
and not near a heat source (such as a
radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating
plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool
before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Drinks or other liquids should be
covered when inside the appliance. If
left uncovered, the humidity inside the
appliance will increase, therefore the
appliance uses more energy. Keeping
drinks and other liquids covered helps
preserve their smell and taste.
4. Avoid keeping the doors open for long
periods and opening the doors too
frequently as warm air will enter the
appliance and cause the compressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.
5. The door gasket must be clean and
pliable. In case of wear, replace the
gasket.
6. It is possible to store more food
by removing freezer shelf. Energy
consumption is declared with maximum
load and without freezer shelf.
