Start-up and use  
GB  
! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This  
alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal  
operation, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the  
OFF position and then turn it back to the desired value. To  
disconnect the appliance, follow point 1 and 2.  
Starting the appliance  
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation  
instructions (see Installation).  
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and  
accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.  
! The appliance comes with a motor protection control system  
which makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes after  
being switched on. The compressor also starts each time the  
power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily  
(blackout).  
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.  
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be  
removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set  
on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and  
the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance.  
1. Insert the plug into the socket and make sure that the green  
POWER indicator light illuminates (the TEMPERATURE  
ADJUSTMENT knob must be in the OFF position).  
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an average  
value and press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing):  
the SUPER FREEZE indicator light  
will illuminate. It will  
switch off once the freezer has reached its optimal temperature.  
At this point food may be placed inside the appliance.  
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.  
Using the freezer to its full potential  
• Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to adjust the  
temperature.  
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period  
of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.  
MIN = warmest  
MAX = coldest  
is the optimal temperature for energy saving levels.  
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.  
Precautions and tips  
! 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.  
• 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 (if the freezer is already operating):  
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;  
- for small quantities which are less than those indicated on the  
data plate, press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button  
- 2002/96/CE.  
(corresponding indicator light  
illuminates), insert the food  
General safety  
and close the door. The function is disabled automatically after  
24 hours or when optimal temperatures have been reached  
(indicator light goes out);  
- for large quantities which are greater than the maximum load  
indicated on the data plate, hold down the rapid freezing  
SUPER FREEZE button until the corresponding indicator light  
begins to flash. After 24 hours the indicator light stops flashing  
and remains on constantly. Place the food inside the freezer  
and close the door. After another 24 hours, the function will be  
disabled automatically (indicator light goes out).  
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the  
home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.  
• The appliance must be used to store and freeze food products  
by adults only and according to the instructions in this manual.  
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in  
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the  
appliance exposed to rain and storms.  
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or moist  
hands and feet.  
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could cause  
skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.  
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the  
mains socket, do not pull on the cable.  
• Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the  
appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It is not  
sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on OFF  
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.  
• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances should  
you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried  
out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or further  
malfunctioning of the appliance.  
! 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.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including  
children) with reduced physical, sensory or lack of experience  
and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or  
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person  
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to  
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

remains illuminated  
• 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.  
• The door has been opened too frequently.  
• The TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob is not in the correct  
position.  
The motor runs continuously.  
• The SUPER FREEZE button has been pressed: the yellow  
FAST FREEZE indicator light is on (see Description).  
• The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.  
• The outside ambient temperature is very high.  
The appliance makes a lot of noise.  
• The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (see  
Installation).  
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.  
• 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.  
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.  
The green POWER indicator light  
• The appliance is not operating correctly. Contact the Technical  
Assistance Centre.  
is flashing.  
• 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).  
Troubleshooting  
If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see  
Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.  
The green POWER indicator light  
does not illuminate.  
• 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 motor does not start.  
• The appliance comes with a motor protection control (see  
Start-up and use).  
The ALARM indicator light  
is illuminated and the  
buzzer sounds at regular intervals.  
a) The temperature in the freezer is too high. Check the quality of  
the food products and dispose if necessary.
