Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
! Warning Indicator Light. When this red warning light
comes on for a prolonged period of time, it means that the
freezer is not functioning properly and the temperature is
rising too much. (Call your Service Centre)
GB
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation
instructions (see Installation).
This warning light might come on for a brief period when:
a) the door is left open for an extended period of time
(when the freezer is being loaded or unloaded).
b) the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is turned to the
“Super” setting.
In these two cases, the fact that the warning light comes on
does not indicate that the freezer is malfunctioning or there
is a defect.
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the
compartments and accessories well with lukewarm
water and bicarbonate.
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the red
ALARM and green POWER indicator lights illuminate (the
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob must not be on “ ”).
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the
“Super” position: the yellow SUPER FREEZE indicator
light will illuminate.
Ice3 ice tray
3. When the red indicator light switches off, turn the
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium
position. The freezer is now ready to be used.
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the
freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no
longer comes into contact with the food placed inside
the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of
the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the
hole after filling with water is also provided).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up.
Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with
water through the opening provided.
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX
WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes
from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to
melt and empty the tray).
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments
each mould fills with water (see diagram).
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the
tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding
housing and allowing it to drop in again.
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time
approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard
surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes
come loose and take them out through the opening.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the
temperature (see Description).
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already
been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten
(within 24 hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into
contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food
must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE
compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C and
guarantees rapid freezing.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which
are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they
could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen each day
is indicated on the data plate, which is located inside the
freezer (for example: 4 kg per 24 hours).
• To freeze food (if the freezer is already in operation):
- For small quantities measuring less than half of the value
indicated on the data plate, turn the TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT knob to the SUPER (rapid freezing) position
(the corresponding yellow indicator light will illuminate),
place the food inside and close the door. After 24 hours,
once the freezing process is complete, turn the knob back
to its normal operating position.
MAX
WATER LEVEL
- For large quantities measuring over half of the maximum
value indicated on the data plate, turn the TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT knob to the SUPER position 24 hours before
placing the food you wish to freeze inside. After another 24
hours, once the freezing process is complete, turn the knob
back to its normal operating position.
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, 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.

Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
Defrosting the appliance
GB
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
! Follow the instructions below.
Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any
tools or electrical devices other than the scraper
provided, you may damage the refrigeration circuit.
1. set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL Knob on
2. pull the plug out of the socket
Remove frost regularly using the special scraper
provided. If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is
necessary to defrost manually:
Cleaning the appliance
1. The day before, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
knob to the SUPER position (the yellow SUPERFREEZE
indicator light will illuminate) to further cool the food.
• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber
seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been
soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or
neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products,
bleach or ammonia.
2. After 24 hours, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
knob to , which will switch the refrigerator off.
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm
water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry
them carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can
be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum
cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be
switched off and the plug must be pulled out before
cleaning the appliance.
3. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in
another freezer or in a cool place.
4. Leave the door open until the frost has melted
completely. This can be made easier by placing
containers with lukewarm water in the freezer
compartment..
5. Certain appliances are
fitted with the DRAIN
SYSTEM to lead the water
outside. Let the water flow
into a container (see
diagram).
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials
which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free
refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food
must always be covered or sealed properly.
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended
period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors
open.
6. Clean and dry the
freezer compartment
carefully before switching
the appliance on again.
7. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal
storage conditions have been restored, before
placing food in the freezer compartment.

Precautions and tips
! The appliance was designed and manufactured in
compliance with international safety standards. The
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and
must be read carefully.
Disposal
GB
• Observe local environmental standards when
disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the
materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment. The crossed out
“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of
your obligation, that when you dispose of the
appliance it must be separately collected.
This appliance complies with the following
Community Directives:
- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and
subsequent amendments;
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;
- 2002/96/CE..
General safety
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal
of their old appliance.
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the
home and is not intended for commercial or industrial
use.
• The appliance must be used to store and freeze food
products by adults only and according to the
instructions in this manual.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated
room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight
and do not place it near heat sources.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or
moist hands and feet.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve
energy.
• WARNING: do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food:
cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will
work continuously.
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
• Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the
appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It
is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs
on (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The
internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energy.
• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may
cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance.
• Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance).
A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food
products more difficult and results in increased
energy consumption.
• WARNING: do not use electrical or machanical devices
or tools other than the special scraper provided inside
the compartments.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air
from escaping (see Maintenance).
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into
your mouth.
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play
with the appliance. Under no circumstance should they
be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang from the door.
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It
can become a choking or suffocation hazard.
