INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

DIAGRAM OF THE APPLIANCE (Fig. 1)

A. Handle.

B. Safety lock (if provided).

C. Gasket.

D. Separator (if provided).

E. Defrost water drain plug.

DIAGRAM OF THE CONTROL PANEL (Fig. 2)

1. Red light: when ashing, indicates an alarm condition

(see paragraph “TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE”).

2. Blue light: The function “6th Sense” is automatically

activated and does not need to be selected by the user,

therefore the blue LED (2) “Sense” always remains

on. For more technical details, refer to paragraph “6th

Sense function”.

3. Green lights: indicate that the product is running and

the temperature has been set.

4. Set temperature button: to adjust the set temperature

and to activate/deactivate fast freeze procedures.

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

• Plug in the appliance.

• The green LED lights up (“Normal”).

• The blue LED lights up (“Sense”).

• The red LED ashes to indicate that 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.

• Place food inside the product only when the red LED 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 key (4) to select the desired temperature.

To adjust the internal temperature, proceed as follows:

• Repeatedly press the key (4). Each time the key is

pressed, the set temperature is updated, displaying the

“Normal”, “Eco” and “Max” values in succession.

• Select “Max” for a colder storage temperature.

• With partial loads “Eco” is recommended: this setting will

optimize energy consumption.

The green indicator lamps (3) indicate the selected setting

according to the following diagram:

Eco: least cold temperature (left

indicator lamp lit).

Normal: intermediate temperature

(right indicator lamp lit).

Max.: extra low temperature (both

indicator lamps lit).

Shopping: Fast Freezing (both

indicator lamps lit).

See section “Freezing fresh food”.

Note: The settings will be saved in the memory even if a

power cut occurs. The time needed for the temperature

inside the freezer to reach the set value, can vary

depending on climatic conditions and the set temperature

itself.

‘6TH SENSE’ FUNCTION

The “6th Sense” function is always active to control the

internal temperature of the appliance and guarantee the

optimum conditions.

It automatically intervenes in the following cases:

• door opening

This function activates every time the opening of the

door changes the internal temperature of the appliance.

The function remains active for the time needed to

reinstate optimum operating conditions.

• storing food inside the freezer

This function activates every time signicant quantities

of food are introduced. It remains active for the time

needed to reinstate optimum freezing conditions of

the food introduced, ensuring the best compromise

between the quality of the freezing process and energy

consumption.

Note: The duration of the “6th Sense” function is set

automatically, and may vary depending on the way the

product is used.

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.

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.

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.
