Installation  
Refer to chapter "Before using the appliance".  
Unpack the appliance.  
Remove the 4 protection pieces inserted between  
lid and appliance.  
Switching on the appliance  
GB  
The appliance is factory set for optimum operation  
at a temperature of -18°C.  
Plug in the appliance.  
Warning: two of the four protection pieces must  
be fitted in the seat of the condenser plastic  
supports, located at the rear of the product. This  
is necessary to ensure the correct distance from  
the wall.  
The green LED lights up (if provided).  
Also the red LED (if provided) will switch on  
because the temperature inside the appliance is  
not yet sufficiently low for food storage. The red  
LED will normally switch off within the first six  
hours after the appliance is switched on.  
After connecting the appliance to the mains  
supply and when the optimal temperature has  
been reached (this phase takes about 1 hour  
during which the lid will not open), ensure that  
the fast freeze button is not pressed (the yellow  
LED, if provided, is off).  
Place food inside the product only when the red  
LED (if provided) has switched off.  
Thanks to the efficient lid seal, the appliance lid  
will not re-open easily immediately after closing.  
Wait a few minutes before re-opening the lid of  
the appliance.  
Ensure that the defrosting water drainage plug (if  
provided) is correctly positioned (5).  
Temperature Adjustment  
Use the thermostat to select the ideal storage  
temperature.  
7or best operation of the appliance and in order to  
avoid damage when the lid is opened, leave a  
space of at least 7 cm from the rear wall and 7 cm  
at the sides.  
To adjust the internal temperature, proceed as  
follows:  
Turn the thermostat knob to 1 for a storage  
temperature that is less cold.  
7it the accessories (if provided).  
Turn the thermostat knob to 6 /  
storage temperature.

full original nutritional value, consistency, colour  
and flavour.  
reezing fresh food  
GB  
Place foods to be frozen in direct contact with the  
walls of appliance:  
A) - foods to be frozen,  
B) - foods already frozen.  
Always leave hot food to cool before placing in  
the appliance.  
Avoid placing foods to be frozen in direct contact  
with food already frozen.  
7or best and fastest freezing, foods should be  
split into small portions; this will also be useful  
when the frozen items are to be used.

GB  
Classification of frozen foods  
Once at home, place the frozen foods  
immediately in the appliance.  
Put the frozen products into the appliance and  
classify them; The storage date should be indicated  
on the packs, to allow use within expiry dates.  
Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the  
minimum.  
Respect the best-before date on the package.  
Always observe the storage information on the  
package.  
Advice for storing frozen food  
When purchasing frozen food products:  
Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen  
food in damaged packaging may have  
deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has  
damp patches, it may not have been stored under  
optimal conditions and defrosting may have  
already begun.  
Note:  
Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately.  
Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it  
has thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be  
refrozen. If there is a long power failure:  
Do not open the appliance lid except to place ice  
packs (if provided) over the frozen foods on the  
right and left of the appliance. This will slow down  
the rise in temperature.
