Overview of the appliance
A
Recommended ambient temperature range
Respect the climatic classes indicated in the product information on the appliance's name-
plate. You can use this to check the recommended temperature range of the room where the
appliance is located:
- SN:Between 10 and 32°C
- N:Between 16 and 32°C
- ST:Between 16 and 38°C
- T:Between 16 and 43°C
A multi-class appliance can handle the lowest and highest temperature of all classes covered.
Using the appliance outside the recommended temperature range will lead to inferior performance
and premature ageing.
Temperature control adjustment
For optimal use and to save energy, adjust the temperature control(s) of the appliance according
to the ambient temperature of the room, in which it is being used, and respect the climate class.
Refer to the product sheet to find out the climatic class associated with the minimum and
maximum recommended ambient temperatures for the appliance as well as the temperature
setting recommended for storing food under optimal conditions.
The ambient temperatures in °C are given as a rough guide.
The set positions can be affected by the location of the appliance in the room, how often the
door is opened or the load of food inside.
The temperature control may need to be changed to compensate for these factors.
Examples of locations:
- Unheated room in winter like a garage in a cold region.
- Kitchen/lounge area with normal heating.
- Room that is not air-conditioned in summer in a hot region.
Thermostat setting for ambient T°C : NORMAL ≈ +24°C (± 4°C) Normal
Thermostat setting for ambient T°C : COLD ≈ +16°C (± 4°C) Normal
Thermostat setting for ambient T°C : HOT ≈ +32°C (± 4°C) Normal

Daily use
Freezing fresh food
• The freezing compartment is used to freeze fresh food and to keep food frozen and deep-
frozen for a long period of time.
• Place the fresh food that you wish to freeze in the lower compartment.
• The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the nameplate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours; do not add any other food to be frozen during this
period.
Storing deep-frozen food
• When you use the appliance for the first time or after a period of disuse, leave the appliance
to run for at least 2 hours on the highest settings before placing food in the compartment.
• Important ! In case of accidental defrosting (e.g. if the power has been cut for a period longer
than the one indicated in the “Technical Characteristics” table in the “Autonomy” section),
defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after
cooking).
Defrosting
• Frozen or deep-frozen food can be defrosted in the refrigeration compartment or at room
temperature, depending on the time available, before they are used.
• Small amounts or pieces of food can be cooked from frozen as soon as they are taken out
of the freezer. In this case, they will take longer to cook.
Ice cubes
• This appliance may come with one or more ice trays.

Useful advice and tips
Advice for freezing
Here is some important advice to help you to optimise the freezing process:
• The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the nameplate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. Additional food products should not be added during
this period.
• You should only freeze fresh, perfectly clean, high-quality food products.
• Prepare small portions so that they can freeze through quickly; this give you the option of
only defrosting the quantity that you need.
• Wrap food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the parcels are airtight.
• To avoid increasing the temperature of frozen products, do not allow fresh food to come into
contact with food which is already frozen.
• Food which is low in fat and lean meat keeps better and for longer periods than fatty foods.
Salt reduces the storage time of food.
• Sorbets can sometimes cause burns to the skin and tongue if consumed straight from the
freezer compartment.
• The labelling of packages is important. Take note of the date of freezing indicated on the
product and its packaging and respect the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.
Advice for storage of frozen food
To optimise the performance of this appliance, you should:
• make sure that the deep-frozen product has been stored appropriately by the seller;
• be sure that the frozen product was transferred from the store to the freezer within the
shortest possible period of time;
• Do not open the door too often and do not leave it open for longer than necessary.
• Defrosted food products quickly deteriorate and should not be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.
• For hygiene reasons, the interior of the appliance including interior accessories should be
cleaned regularly.

• Remove food from the freezer. Cover and store in a cool place.
• Clean the appliance and interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. After washing,

completely defrosted following the instructions below:
− disconnect the plug from the socket;
− remove all the food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store in a cool place;
− hold the door open and place a container underneath the appliance to collect the defrosting
water;
− dry the interior thoroughly when defrosting is complete;
