4. DAILY USE

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

4.1 Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run to freeze fresh food quickly, we suggest activating FROSTMATIC function for proper food storage.

To activate this function press the temperature key repeatedly until the LED indicator next to FROSTMATIC icon lights up. LED indicator of the currently set temperature illuminates.

This function stops automatically after 52 hours. When the function deactivates, the previous temperature setting is restored.

You can deactivate this function at any time by pressing the temperature key and choosing a new temperature setting.

3.7 High temperature alarm

An increase in the temperature in the appliance (for example due to an earlier power failure or opening of the door) activates the high temperature alarm. The LED indicator of the currently set temperature flashes.

When normal conditions are restored, the high temperature alarm deactivates. You can switch off this alarm by pressing the temperature key.

at least 2 hours with the FROSTMATIC function turned on. The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick and easy to find the food package you want. If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers except for the bottom drawer which needs to be in place to provide good air circulation. On

all shelves it is possible to place food that protrude until 15 mm from the door.

WARNING!

In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooling).

4.2 Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.

To freeze small amount of fresh food it is not necessary to change the present setting.

5. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dried thoroughly.

CAUTION!

Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish.

5.2 Periodic cleaning

CAUTION!

Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

To freeze fresh food activate the FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.

Place the food to be frozen in the two top compartments.

The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.

The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

When the freezing process is complete, return to the required temperature (see "FROSTMATIC Function").

4.3 Cold accumulators

The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator which increases storage time in the event of a power cut or breakdown.

CAUTION!

Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

CAUTION!

When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

1. Clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.

5.3 Defrosting the freezer

CAUTION!

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.

About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set a lower temperature, in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.

A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top compartment.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out electrical plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.

WARNING!

Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING
