Installation
! efore placing your new appliance into operation
please read these operating instructions carefully.
They contain important information for safe use, for
installation and for care of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of
the appliance.
Positioning and connection
Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free
room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and
condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to
operate correctly and save energy.
3. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of
heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
Electrical connections
After the appliance has been transported, carefully
place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the electricity mains. efore inserting
the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following:
 The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant
with the law.
 The socket can withstand the maximum power of
the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate
located inside the freezer (e.g. 150 W).
 The voltage is in the range of values indicated on the
data plate located inside the freezer (e.g. 220-240V).
 The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance.
If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an
authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do
not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power
supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily
accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.

Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
! Before starting the appliance, follow the
installation instructions (see Installation).
! efore connecting the appliance, clean the
compartments and accessories well with lukewarm
water and bicarbonate.
1. Plug the appliance in and make sure the GREEN
and RED indicator lights are illuminated (press the
ON/OFF switch so it is in the - position).
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the
Super position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated).
3. When the red indicator light switches off, turn the
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium
position. The freezer is now ready to be used.
Using the freezer to its full potential
 Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to adjust
the temperature.
1 = warmest 4 = coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
 Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has
already 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 already been
defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top
FREEZER and STORAGE compartment.
 Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids,
and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the
freezer because they could break.
 The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily
is indicated on the plate containing the technical
properties located within the freezer (for example: Kg/
24h: 4).
 To freeze food, turn the TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT knob to the Super position (YELLOW
indicator light illuminated). Place the food you wish
to freeze in the top compartment, making sure it
does not come into contact with any items which
are already frozen. After 24 hours, once the
freezing process is complete, turn the
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium
position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated).
! Remember to carry out this last step in order.
 Placing large amounts of fresh food in the freezer
may temporarily increase the temperature inside
the appliance (this is indicated when the RED
indicator light illuminates). This situation, as it is
only temporary, does not adversely affect the
storage conditions of food that is already frozen.
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! 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.
! RED Indicator Light. When this red light comes on for
a prolonged period of time, it means that the freezer is
not functioning properly and the temperature is rising
too much. (Call your 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).
b) when the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is set
to the Super position (YELLOW indicator light
illuminated).
In these two cases, the fact that the warning light
comes on does not indicate that the freezer is
malfunctioning or there is a defect.

Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
1. Switch the appliance off (press the ON/OFF switch
so that it is in the o position and the GREEN
indicator light is off);
2. pull the plug out of the socket.
Cleaning the appliance
 The external and internal parts, as well as the
rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that
has been soaked in lukewarm water and
bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use
solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.
 The removable accessories may be soaked in
warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse
and dry them carefully.
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
 The appliance is manufactured with hygienic
materials which are odour free. In order to maintain
an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the
formation of stains, food must always be covered or
sealed properly.
 If you want to switch the appliance off for an
extended period of time, clean the inside and leave
the doors open.
Defrosting the appliance
! Follow the instructions below.
Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to
defrost the appliance as these may damage the
refrigeration circuit beyond repair.
If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary
to defrost manually:
1. The previous day, turn the TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT knob to the Super position (YELLOW
indicator light illuminated) in order to cool the food
down even more.
2. Switching the appliance off.
3. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in
another freezer or in a cool place.
4. Leave the door open until the frost has melted
completely. This can be made easier by placing
containers with lukewarm water in the freezer
compartment..
5. Certain appliances
are fitted with the DRAIN
SYSTEM to lead the
water outside. Let the
water flow into a
container (see diagram).
5. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully
before switching the appliance on again.
6. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal
storage conditions have been restored, before
placing food in the freezer compartment.

Precautions and tips
Disposal
 Observe local environmental standards when
disposing packaging material for recycling
purposes.
 The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),
requires that old household electrical appliances
must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted
municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the
recovery and recycling of the materials they contain
and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment. The crossed out wheeled bin
symbol on the product reminds you of your
obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance
it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local
authority or retailer for information
concerning the correct disposal of their old
appliance.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
 Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated
room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight
and do not place it near heat sources.
 Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods
or opening the door too frequently in order to
conserve energy.
 Do not fill the appliance with too much food:
cold air must circulate freely for food to be
preserved properly. If circulation is impeded, the
compressor will work continuously.
 Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator.
The internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energy.
 Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see
Maintenance). A thick layer of ice makes cold
transference to food products more difficult and
results in increased energy consumption.
 Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold
air from escaping (see Maintenance).
! The appliance was designed and manufactured in
compliance with international safety standards. The
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and
must be read carefully.
This appliance complies with the following
Community Directives:
- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and
subsequent amendments;
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;
- 2002/96/CE..

Troubleshooting
If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.
Malfunctions:
The green GREEN indicator light
does not illuminate.
The RED indicator light remains
illuminated constantly.
The motor runs continuously.
The appliance makes a lot of noise.
The RED indicator light is illuminated
for brief periods of time
Possible causes / Solutions:
 The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far
enough to make contact, or there is no power in the house.
 The door is not closed properly or has been open continuously.
 The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position.
 The YELLOW indicator light is on (see Description).
 The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.
 The outside ambient temperature is very high.
 The thickness of the frost exceeds 2-3 mm (see Maintenance).
 The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (see
Installation).
 The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate and
make noise.
 The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor
is off. This is not a defect, it is normal.
 A large amount of non-frozen food has been placed inside, causing
the temperature inside the freezer to rise temporarily. As this is a
short-term situation, it does not adversely affect the storage conditions
of food that has already been frozen.
 The door has been left open for a long time (when placing food inside
or taking it out). In this case, the illumination of this light is not an
indicator of any freezer fault/problem.
 The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is set to the Super position
(YELLOW indicator light illuminated). In this case, the illumination of
this light is not an indicator of any freezer fault/problem.
