Operation
Switching on
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the Temperature Regulator to "SUPER" position and
leave to run for 4 hours to allow the correct temperature to
be reached before placing food inside.
Turn the Temperature Regulator to "NORMAL" position.
The Temperature Regulator is situated on the side of the
cabinet.
Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature Regulator
to the "STOP" position.
First use
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the inte-
rior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and
some neutral soap so as to remove 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 freezing (top) area is suitable for freezing fresh food
and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food turn the Temperature Regulator to
"SUPER" position 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in
the freezer.
Place the food on the freezing shelf and leave the Temper-
ature Regulator in "SUPER" position for a further 24
hours.
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.
After 24 hours, return the Temperature Regulator to "NOR-
MAL" position. The freezer will return to normal storage
temperature. Place the frozen food in the storing (bottom)
area to make room for another freezing.
If the Temperature Regulator is left in the "SUPER"
position, the freezer will not be damaged, but energy
will be wasted.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the freezer let the appliance run at
least 4 hours with the Temperature Regulator to "SUPER"
position.
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, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
