Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

Tips on Freezing
- Remember that you should never refreeze products you
have allowed to thaw, even if only partially. Once thawed,
cook the food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or refreeze
it
- Consult a specialized manual when packaging foods for
freezing.
- For the best storage and thawing, remember to freeze
small portions. This will ensure rapid and uniform freezing.
Mark package with a description of the contents and the
date it was frozen.
- Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data plate
on the inside of the freezer.
- Turn the "A" knob to the Super setting (the yellow "C"
light will come on).
- Place the fresh food that is being frozen into the top
compartments (G), making sure not to place them near food
that has already been frozen, but preferably in contact with
the cooling surfaces. In fact, proper food storage depends
on the speed at which the fresh food is frozen. For this
reason, we suggest that the temperature knob be placed
on the Super setting 24 hours before fresh food is placed
in the appliance to be frozen.
- During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of
the freezer.
- Placing substantial amounts of fresh food in the appliance
may temporarily raise the temperature within the freezer
(the red light will turn on). Since this is a temporary situation,
it will not compromise the storage of the food that has
already been frozen.
- After 24 hours have passed and the fresh food has been
frozen, turn the "A" knob back to one of the normal
settings.
Attention: Do not forget to change the temperature setting
if you want to avoid useless wastes of energy.
- 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 20 hours.
- Do not place full bottles in the freezer because liquids
increase in volume when they freeze and this could cause
the bottles to burst.
- Fill the ice cube trays three-quarters of the way full.

Once the appliance is connected to the mains, the green
"B" and the red "D" lights will come on. Turn the "A" knob
to the Super setting (the yellow "C" light will come on).
When the red "D" light turns off, turn the "A" knob to a
setting between 2 and 3.
At this point, the freezer is ready for use.
Storage
For best storage of fresh-frozen and frozen foods, do not set the
thermostat knob below 1, regardless of the ambient temperature
of the room where the freezer is installed. For ambient temperatures
of up to 25°-27°C, the thermostat knob should be set between 1
and 2, while for temperatures up to 32°C the setting should be
between 2 and 3.
Follow the instructions on the packages of frozen foods scrupulously.
If none are provided, do not store the food for more than 3 months
from the date of purchase.
When purchasing frozen foods, make sure that they have been
stored at the proper temperature and that the package is properly
sealed. When purchasing frozen foods, it is best to transport them
in appropriate containers to keep them cold and then place them
in the freezer immediately.
If the package is damp on the outside or is abnormally swollen, it
is likely that the package was stored at an inadequate temperature
and the food has deteriorated.
Cold accumulator "H"
This freezer is provided with a fixed cold accumulator
positioned inside the appliance.
This component is used to increase food preservation time
in case of power failure.
