be frozen directly on the evaporator. In case of
freezing smaller food volumes you do not need
to remove the drawer.
If the Freezer Switch is accidentally left on,
the freezer will not be damaged, but energy
will be wasted.
First use
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash
the interior and all internal accessories with luke-
warm water and some neutral soap so as to re-
move the typical smell of a brand-new product,
then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the finish.
Daily use
Freezing fresh food
The freezer (top) compartment is suitable for freez-
ing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen
food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the fast freeze func-
tion.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen
in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate , a label
located on the inside of the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this
period do not add other food to be frozen.
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 at least 2 hours on the higher
settings.
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting,
for example due to a power failure, if the power has
been off for longer than 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).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used,
can be thawed at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, di-
rectly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will
take longer.
Care and cleaning
Caution! Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by authorized
technicians.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm
water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are clean and free from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly
perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will damage the surface
and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compres-
sor at the back of the appliance with a brush or a
vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save electricity
consumption.
Important! Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain
chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics
used in this appliance. For this reason it is recom-
mended that the outer casing of this appliance is
only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-
up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the
mains supply.
Defrosting the freezer
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.
Important! About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set
the Temperature Rregulator toward higher
settings , in order to build up sufficient chill reserve
for the interruption in operation.
