inside the product is not low enough.

3. Green LED (if provided): when lit, indicates that the

appliance is running.

activates/deactivates the fast freeze function.

When lit, it indicates that the fast freeze function is active.

The fast freeze function automatically deactivates after

about 50 hours.

The exact conguration of the control panel may vary

according to the model.

INSTALLATION

• Unpack the appliance.

• Remove the 4 spacers inserted between the door

and the appliance. (Fig 3)

• Make sure the defrost water drain plug (if provided) is

correctly positioned (E).

• For optimum appliance operation and to avoid damage

when the door is opened, leave a space of at least 7 cm

from the rear wall and 7 cm at the sides. (Fig. 4)

• Fit the accessories (if provided).

• Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.

SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCE

• The appliance is factory set for optimum operation at a

temperature of -18°C.

• Plug in the appliance.

• 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

suciently low for food storage. The red LED will

normally switch o within the rst six hours after the

appliance is switched on.

• After connecting the appliance to the mains supply

and when the optimal temperature has been reached,

ensure that the fast freeze button is not pressed (the

yellow LED, if provided, is o).

• Place food inside the product only when the red LED

(if provided) has switched o.

Note: As the seal is tight, the appliance lid cannot be

reopened immediately after closing. Wait a few minutes

before re-opening the lid of the appliance.

This appliance features “skin condenser” technology:

the condensing unit is integrated into the walls of

the freezer. For this reason the side and front walls

of the product may become hot while the product

is running. This is entirely normal and also reduces

the risk of condensation forming in particularly

critical environmental conditions (see paragraph

“Troubleshooting guide”).

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

Use the thermostat to select the ideal storage temperature.

To adjust the internal temperature, proceed as follows:

• Turn the thermostat knob to 1 for a storage temperature

that is less cold.

• Turn the thermostat knob to 6 for a colder storage

temperature.

• For partial loads, or when the load indicator is below

the “e” symbol inside the appliance (if present), it is

advisable to move the thermostat to the lower position

(on “e”, if present on the thermostat scale)

FREEZING FOOD

Preparation of fresh food for freezing

• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium

foil, cling lm, air and water-tight plastic bags,

polyethylene containers with lids, provided they are

suitable for freezing foods.

• Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order

to obtain high quality frozen food.

• Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen

as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original

nutritional value, consistency, colour and avour.

• Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the

appliance.

Freezing fresh food

• Place foods to be frozen in direct contact with the walls

of appliance (Fig. 5):

A) - foods to be frozen,

B) - foods already frozen.

• Avoid placing foods to be frozen in direct contact with

food already frozen.

• For best and fastest freezing, foods should be split into

small portions; this will also be useful when the frozen

items are to be used.

1. At least 24 hours before storing fresh food in the

appliance, press the fast freeze button (4).

2. Place the food to be frozen and keep the lid of the

appliance closed for 24 hours. The fast freeze function

automatically deactivates after about 50 hours.

FOOD STORAGE

Refer to the table on the appliance.

Classication of frozen foods

Load and classify the frozen foods; it is advisable

to indicate the storage date on the packs, to ensure

consumption before the expiry dates listed in months in

Fig. 6 for each type of food.

Advice for storing frozen food

When buying frozen food, make sure that:

• The packaging is intact (food in damaged containers

may have deteriorated). If a package is swollen or has

damp patches, the product may not have been stored

in optimum conditions and therefore undergone partial

defrosting.

• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last

Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.

If I want my freezer to be colder, should I choose for a higher or lower setting? Verified

With most freezers a higher setting means the machine will cool harder. With a lower setting, the machine will cool less hard and the temperature in the freezer will be higher.

How often should I defrost my freezer? Verified

For optimal use of the freezer it is best to defrost it once every 3-6 months. Ice on the inside of the freezer reduces the available space and increases the use of energy. The thawing process can be accelerated by placing hot water in the drawer or placing bowls of hot water in the freezer.

What does NoFrost mean? Verified

Freezers that have NoFrost technology can keep the air in the freezer dry, resulting in less ice forming inside.

I bought a new freezer, can I turn it on immediately? Verified

No, the freezer needs to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it can be turned on. This is because the coolant liquid needs to settle.

How long does it take for my freezer to reach the set temperature after I turn it on? Verified

This depends on the size, age and model of the freezer. It may take several hours to 24 hours for the freezer to reach the set temperature. The process can be accelerated by placing non-perishable goods in the freezer.

The stars indicate the freezing capacity. 1 star indicates a freezing capacity down to -6ºC. This makes the freezer suitable for making ice cubes or storing previously frozen goods for up to two weeks. Fresh food cannot be frozen. 2 stars indicates a freezing capacity down to -12ºC. This makes the freezer suitable for storing previously frozen goods for up to two months. Fresh food cannot be frozen. 3 stars indicates a freezing capacity down to -18ºC.

De door of my freezer will not close properly, why is that? Verified

The two most common causes are that the freezer is not level and that the door seal is damaged or has food remains on it. Make sure the freezer is level and check the door seal. Replace the seal if neccesary.

There is mold on the rubber seals of my freezer, what should I do? Verified

The rubber seals are not actually inside the freezer and are therefore warmer. This allows bacteria to grow and mold to form. Clean the rubbers regularly to prevent this.
