EN INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE DIAGRAM OF THE APPLIANCE (Fig. 1) 1. Lid handle. 2. Lock (if provided). 3. Seal. 4. Defrost water drain plug (depending on model). 5. Control panel. 6. Basket (depending on model). 7. Condenser (located at the rear). INSTALLATION • Refer to chapter “Before using the appliance”. • Unpack the appliance. • Remove the 4 protection pieces inserted between lid and appliance (Fig 3). • 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 (Fig. 3). This is necessary to ensure the correct distance from the wall. • Ensure that the defrosting water drainage plug (if provided) is correctly positioned (4). • For 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. • Fit the accessories (if provided). • Clean the inside of the appliance before using it. 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. Switching on the appliance • Plug in the appliance. • The green LED lights up (middle temperature). • The red LED flashes to indicate that 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. • Place food inside the product only when the red LED has switched off. 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. FREEZING FOOD Preparation of fresh food for freezing • Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: Aluminium foil, cling film, 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 DIAGRAM OF THE CONTROL PANEL (Fig. 2) as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original a.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE If the fast freeze function is not manually deactivated, it will be automatically deactivated by the appliance after 50 hours. FOOD STORAGE Refer to the table on the appliance. Classification of frozen foods 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 listed in months in Fig. 5 for each type of food. 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. • When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag. • Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the appliance. • Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum Respect the best-before date on the package. • Always observe the storage information on the package. 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. DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of ice on the walls reaches 5-6 mm. • Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. • Remove the packs of food from the appliance and wrap them close together in newspaper and store in a very cool place or thermally insulated bag. • Leave the appliance lid open. • Remove the internal defrost water drain plug (depending on model) (Fig. 6). • Remove the external defrost water drain plug (depending on model) and reposition it as shown in the figure 6. • Place a bowl beneath the drainage channel to collect the residual water. If available, use the divider (Fig. 6). • Speed up defrosting by using a spatula to detach the ice from the appliance walls. • Remove the ice from the bottom of the appliance. • In order to avoid permanent damage to the appliance interior, do not use pointed or sharp metal instruments for removing the ice. • Do not use abrasive products or heat up the interior artificially. • Dry the interior of the appliance thoroughly. • On completion of the defrosting, refit the plug. CARE AND MAINTENANCE • Remove the ice from the upper edge (see the Troubleshooting Guide). • Clean the inside after defrosting, using a sponge dampened with warm water and/or mild detergent. • Clean the side motor cooling grille (depending on model). • Remove dust from the condenser on the rear of the appliance. Before carrying out maintenance, unplug the appliance. Do not use abrasive products, scourers or stainremovers (e.g. acetone, trichloroethylene) to clean the appliance. To obtain the best results from your appliance, carry out cleaning and maintenance at least once a year. CHANGING THE LID LIGHT BULB (if provided) • Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. • Remove the diffuser by following the sequence of steps shown in the figure 7. • Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with an identical bulb of the same wattage and voltage. • Refit the diffuser and plug in the appliance. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1. The red LED flashes. • Is there a power failure? • Is a defrosting operation in progress? • Is the appliance lid properly closed? • Is the appliance placed near a heat source? • Are the ventilation grille and condenser clean? 2. All LEDs flash at the same time. • Contact the After-Sales Service. 3. The appliance is too noisy. • Is the appliance perfectly horizontal? • Is the appliance in contact with other furniture or objects that may cause vibrations? • Has the packaging been removed from under the appliance? INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Note: Gurgling noises from the refrigerating circuit after the compressor cuts out are perfectly normal. 4. All LEDs are off and the product is not working. • Is there a power failure? • Is the plug properly inserted in the socket? • Is the electric cable intact? 5. All LEDs are off and the product is working. • Contact the After-Sales Service. 6. The compressor runs continuously. • Have hot foods been put in the appliance? • Has the appliance lid been left open for a long time? • Is the appliance placed in a very warm room or near heat sources? • Has the fast freeze function been activated? (all Green LEDs ON) 7. Too much ice on the upper edge. • Are the defrost water drainage plugs correctly positioned? • Is the appliance lid properly closed? • Is the appliance lid seal damaged or deformed? (See chapter “Installation”) • Have the 4 protection pieces been removed? (See chapter “Installation”) 8. Formation of condensate on the external walls of the appliance. • It is normal for condensation to form under certain atmospheric conditions (humidity above 85%) or if the appliance is located in a damp or poorly ventilated room. The performance of the appliance is in no way affected. 9. The layer of ice on the internal walls of the appliance is not uniform. • This phenomenon is quite normal. AFTER-SALES SERVICE Before contacting After-Sales Service: 1. See if you can solve the problem yourself. 2. Switch the appliance on again to see if the problem has been solved. If it has not, disconnect the appliance from the power supply and wait for about an hour before switching on again. 3. If the problem persists after this course of action, contact After-Sales Service. Specify: • the nature of the fault • the model • the service number (the number after the word SERVICE on the rating plate on the rear of the appliance) • your full address • your telephone number and area code.
