Start-up and use
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.
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the red
ALARM and green POWER indicator lights illuminate (the
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob must not be on ).
2. When the red indicator light switches off, turn the
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium position.
The freezer is now ready to be used.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the
temperature (see Description).
• 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 where the temperature drops below -18°C and
guarantees rapid freezing.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which
are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because
they could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen each day
is indicated on the data plate, which is located inside the
freezer (for example: 4 kg per 24 hours).
• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer
compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest
bin) and place the food directly onto the evaporator plates.
! 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.
! Warning Indicator Light. When this red warning light comes
on for a prolonged period of time, it means that the freezer is
not functioning properly and the temperature is rising too much.
(Call your Service Centre).
This warning light might come on for a brief period when:
a) the door is left open for an extended period of time (when
the freezer is being loaded or unloaded).
In these two cases, the fact that the warning light comes on
does not indicate that the freezer is malfunctioning or there is a
defect.
Ice
3
ice tray*
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer
drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer
comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer
compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during
filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with
water is also provided).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up. Check that the tray is
completely empty and fill it with water through the opening
provided.
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER
LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes from
dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and
empty the tray).
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each
mould fills with water (see diagram).
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray
back, placing the top part in the corresponding housing and
allowing it to drop in again.
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8
hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the
outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out
through the opening.

set on medium power. The appliance must be switched
off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the
