SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE
___________________________________________
Before starting the appliance, follow the installation
instructions (see "Safety" and "Installation").
Once the appliance has been connected to the power
source, the green "C" and red "B" lights will turn on.
Activate the fast freeze function "Super" (if present) by
turning the "E" control to the position "Super" (the
yellow "D" (light will turn on).
When the red "B" light turn off, turning off the "Super"
(if present), the tellow "D" light will turn off and change
the setting by turning the temperature adjustment knob
"A", to the one of the medium settings. At this point the
freezer can be used.
The termostat should be adjusted for the different
types of use as shown in table above.
The instructions presented on the internal lid / conser-
vation time (months) are only applied for ≤ -18 °C / food
freezer and three-stars storage temperature.

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.
Tips on packaging
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. Never freeze more food than
that allowed by the maximum freezing capacity indicat-
ed on the data plate which is located on the back of the
freezer.
To freeze food, make sure that the red light is off. Then
place the food to be frozen into the freezer, making sure
that it is placed, to the furthest extent possible, in direct
contact with the side walls of the deepest part of the
freezer and not in contact with food that has already
been frozen. Proper storage depends on the speed at
which the food is frozen. For this reason, we recom-
mend that the switch should be turned to the "Super" E
(if present) setting 24 hours before the food to be
frozen is placed inside the freezer.
Avoid opening the freezer door during the freezing
process.
Placing substantial amounts of fresh food in the appli-
ance may temporarily raise the temperature within the
freezer (the red light may turn on). Since this is a
temporary situation, it will not compromise the storage
of the food that has already been frozen. 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 tempera-
ture inside the freezer, ensuring that the goods 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.
Tips on storage
For best storage of fresh-frozen and frozen foods, do
not set the thermostat knob below Min, 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
0 ≤ +8
for temperatures up to 32°C the setting should be
between 2 and 3.
-3 ≤ +3
Follow the instructions on the packages of frozen foods
scrupulously.
≤ -18
If none are provided, do not store the food for more
than 3 months from the date of purchase.

When purchasing frozen food, make sure that they have
been stored at the proper temperature and that the

package is properly sealed. When purchasing frozen
