Safety a good habit to get into  
ATTENTION  
6. Do not touch the internal cooling elements, especially if your  
hands are wet, since you could burn or hurt yourself. Do not  
eat ice cubes straight out of the freezer.  
7. Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from  
the electricity (by pulling out the plug orturning off the general  
switch in your home).  
8. Before disposing of your old appliance, remember to break  
or remove the lock as a safety measure to protect children who  
might lock themselves inside the appliance when playing.  
9. If your appliance is not operating properly, before calling your  
after-sales service read the chapter on “Trouble Shooting” which  
might help you resolve the problem. Do not attempt to repair  
the fault by intervening on the internal components.  
10. If the power supply cord must be replaced, please contact  
one of our Customer Service Centers. In some cases, the con-  
nections are made using special terminals and in others a spe-  
cial tool must be used to access the connections.  
11. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment for  
food storage, if these are not those recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
12. At the end of the functional life of your appliance –  
containing cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam and perhaps  
gas R600a (isobutane) in the refrigeration circuit – the latter  
should made safe before being sent to the dump. For this  
operation, please contact your dealer or the Local Organisation  
in charge of waste disposal.  
Read your handbook carefully since it contains instructions  
which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of  
your appliance.  
Your freezer is built to International standards (EN60) and  
has been awarded the European approval mark (IMQ) for  
compliance to UK electrical safety requirements. It also meets  
the EC standards on the prevention and elimination of radio  
interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).  
1. This appliance is designed to be used indoors and under  
no circumstances should it be installed outside.  
2. The appliance should be used only by adults exclusively for  
storing foodstuffs in compliance with the instructions provided  
in the handbook. Under no circumstances should children be  
allowed to operate, or tamper with, this product.  
3. For electrical safety, do not attempt to operate this appli-  
ance with wet hands or feet.  
4. Do not operate this appliance connected to an extension  
lead. If a longer supply cable is required, this must be replaced  
with one of the same specifications in compliance with the  
current electrical regulations. This operation should be carried  
out by a qualified person. Ensure that the cable is not trapped  
or damaged during the installation.  
5. Never pull the cable or the appliance to remove the plug  
from the socket.  
Installation  
socket is not fitted with an earthing wire, the manufacturer  
will not be held liability for any damages and or injuries aris-  
ing out of the use of the appliance. Do not use multiple  
sockets or adapters.  
To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to  
reduce energy consumption, it is important that the  
appliance is installed correctly.  
Ventilation  
Position the appliance in such a way that you can access  
the socket where it is plugged in.  
The compressor and condenser generate heat and, there-  
fore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than  
perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the  
appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with  
an opening (window or French window) that provide the  
appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important  
that the room not be too humid.  
Insufficient power?  
The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum  
power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating  
plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper.  
Before making the electrical connection ...  
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the  
grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.  
After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the verti-  
cal upright position and wait at least 3 hours before insert-  
ing the plug into the socket in order to ensure that it func-  
tions properly.  
Away from Heat  
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly  
exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.  
For English Market only  
Electrical Connection and Earthing  
The appliance is fitted with a continental 2-èin plug for fac-  
tory testing. Before installation the plug should be cut off.  
The appliance is designed to be installed in a switched spur  
outlet fused at 13 Ampere. If the installation requires a 13  
Ampere plug type to be fitted it should be conform to BSI  
1363.  
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure  
that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located within  
the freezer, corresponds to the mains voltage in your home  
and that the socket is fitted with a standard earthing wire in  
accordance with safety standards for 46/90 systems. If the

Using your freezer  
- In the case of power failure or breakdown, 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.  
- Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they could  
explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids increase  
in volume when frozen).  
Freezing  
- Remember that you should never re-freeze products you  
have allowed to thaw, even if only partially: cook the food,  
then either eat (within 24 hours) or re-freeze it.  
- In order to freeze fresh foods, the switch must be turned  
to the left (the yellow light will come on). Then introduce  
the food to be frozen into the top compartment, placing  
them - to the furthest extent possible - in direct contact  
with the cooling plate and away from any frozen food being  
stored.  
Proper freezing depends on the speed at which food is fro-  
zen. For this reason, we recommend that the switch be  
turned to the freeze setting (the yellow light will come on)  
24 hours before the food to be frozen is placed in the  
freezer. This operation is necessary for large quanti-  
ties of food (up to the maximum capacity indicated on  
the data plate).  
- Fill the ice trays so that they are no more than 3/4 full.  
Preservation of Foodstuffs  
To preserve frozen and deep-frozen foods well, never set  
the thermostat below 1, no matter what the room tempe-  
rature is.  
For room temperatures from 25°C to 27°C the knob should  
be set between 1 and 2 while for room temperatures of up  
to 32°C, set between 2 and 3.  
- Do not open the freezer door during freezing.  
- If a large amount of food is introduced for freezing at one  
time, the freezer temperature may momentarily increase  
inside the compartment (red light on). Since this is just a  
transient situation, the foods already stored in the freezer  
will not be harmed.  
- After 24 hours have passed and the food has been frozen,  
turn the freezer switch back to the normal setting (the yel-  
low light will turn off).  
Important: .Remember to carry out this last step in order  
to save energy.  
- For the best conservation and defrosting, remember to  
freeze small portions; this will ensure rapid and uniform  
freezing. Mark the freezing date and description of the  
contents on the package, as shown in the table.  
The maximum storage times for frozen foods are indicated  
in the tables “Guide for using the freezer.  
Always follow the instructions on the packages of deep  
frozen foods carefully and if there are no instructions  
neverkeep the food for more than 3 months from the date  
of purchase.  
When buying deep-frozen foods, ensure that they have been  
stored at appropriate temperatures and that the wrapping  
is intact.  
To keep the quality of the deep-frozen food unlatered,  
transfer it to special containers and then place it inside the  
storage compartment as soon as possible.  
If a packing shows signs of moisture and abnormal swelling,  
it has probably been stored at the wrong temperature and  
the contents have been spoiled.

Caring for your appliance  
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance  
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug orturning  
off the general switch in your home).  
Cleaning and maintenance  
The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically with a solution  
of bicarbonate of soda and warm water. Never use abrasives,  
detergents or soaps; after washing, rinse with clean water  
and dry with care.  
Defrosting  
When these operations have been completed, turn on the  
green light and set the thermostat knob to the appropriate  
operating position.  
After 2 or 3 hours, the appliance will once again be ready  
for preserving frozen and deep-frozen foods.  
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.  
Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed  
up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec-  
ommended by the manufacturer.  
The frost should be removed from the walls of the appliance  
periodically.  
Never use sharp metal objects to remove frost because they  
could pierce the cooling circuit and damage the freezer  
beyong repair.  
Use the plastic scraper provided for this purpose.  
To defrost the appliance completely (this should be done  
once or twice a year), turn off the green light and leave the  
door open until the frost has completely thawed.  
A defrost water collection system is situated at the bottom  
of this appliance as shown in figire 1.  
To speed up defrosting, place one or more basins of warm  
water inside the appliance.  
When defrosting, remove the frozen food from the appliance,  
wrap it in newspaper and store in a cool place. Since the rise  
in temperature will shorten the storage life of the food, it  
should be used as soon as possible.
