Some of the freezing baskets have a limit
stop to prevent their accidental removal
or falling out. At the time of its removal
from the freezer, pull the basket towards
yourself and, upon reaching the end
point, remove the basket by tilting its
front upwards
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift
the front of the basket to insert it into the
freezer.
Once you are over the end points, push
the basket back in their position.

							HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a
bubbling sound when the refrigerant is
pumped through the coils or tubing.
This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrig-
erant is being pumped around and you
will hear a whirring sound and a pulsat-
ing noise from the compressor. This is
correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a
sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not
dangerous physical phenomenon. This
is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or
switches off, you will hear a faint "click"
of the temperature regulator. This is
correct.
HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run con-
tinuously, causing frost or ice on the
evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warmer
settings to allow automatic defrosting
and so a saving in electricity consump-
tion.
To obtain the best performance:
• do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary
• do not remove the cold accumulators
from the freezer basket.
HINTS FOR FREEZING
To help you make the most of the freez-
ing process, here are some important
hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which
can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the
rating plate;• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be
added during this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thor-
oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to ena-
ble it to be rapidly and completely fro-
zen and to make it possible subse-
quently to thaw only the quantity re-
quired;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the pack-
ages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the
latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life
of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately af-
ter removal from the freezer compart-
ment, can possibly cause the skin to be
freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in
date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.
HINTS FOR STORAGE OF
FROZEN FOOD
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by
the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans-
ferred from the foodstore to the freezer
in the shortest possible time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary;
• once defrosted, food deteriorates rap-
idly and cannot be refrozen;
• do not exceed the storage period indi-
cated by the food manufacturer.

							CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal ac-
cessories with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap so as to remove the typical
smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage
the finish.
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before car-
rying out any maintenance opera-
tion.
This appliance contains hydrocar-
bons in its cooling unit; mainte-
nance and recharging must there-
fore only be carried out by author-
ized technicians.
PERIODIC CLEANING
The equipment has to be cleaned regular-
ly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the
cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed clean-
ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a strong
odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damagethe plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer
casing of this appliance is only cleaned
with warm water with a little washing-up
liquid added.
DEFROSTING
Your appliance is frost free. This means
that there is no buildup of frost when it is
in operation, neither on the internal walls
nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the contin-
uous circulation of cold air inside the
compartment, driven by an automatically
controlled fan.

							TROUBLESHOOTING
During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often
occur, which does not require calling a
technician out. In the following chart infor-
mation is given about them to avoid un-
necessary charges on service.
The operation of the appliance
goes with certain sounds (com-
pressor and circulating sound).
This not means a trouble, but a
normal operation.
The appliance operates discontin-
uously, so the stopping of com-
pressor does not mean being no
current. That is why you must not
touch the electrical parts of the
appliance before breaking the cir-
cuit.

							INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Read the "Safety Information"
carefully for your safety and cor-
rect operation of the appliance
before installing the appliance.
POSITIONING
Install this appliance at a location where
the ambient temperature corresponds to
the climate class indicated on the rating
plate of the appliance:
Cli-
mate
classAmbient temperature
SN+10°C to + 32°C
N+16°C to + 32°C
ST+16°C to + 38°C
T+16°C to + 43°C
LOCATION
AB
100 mm
min 20 mm
The appliance should be installed well
away from sources of heat such as radia-
tors, boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure
that air can circulate freely around the
back of the cabinet. To ensure best per-
formance, if the appliance is positioned
below an overhanging wall unit, the mini-
mum distance between the top of the
cabinet and the wall unit must be at least
100 mm . Ideally, however, the appliance
should not be positioned below over-
hanging wall units. Accurate levelling is
ensured by one or more adjustable feet at
the base of the cabinet.
WARNING!
It must be possible to disconnect
the appliance from the mains
power supply; the plug must
therefore be easily accessible af-
ter installation.

the terminal either marked with the
letter “N“ or coloured black.
3.Connect the wire coloured brown to
the terminal either marked with the
“L“ or coloured red.
4.Check that no cut, or stray strands of
wire is present and the cord clamp D
is secure over the outer sheath.
5.Make sure the electricity supply volt-
age is the same as that indicated on
the appliance rating plate.
6.Switch on the appliance.
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp
plug fitted B. In the event of having to
change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13
amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must
be used.

amp socket is a serious safety
(shock) hazard. Ensure that it is
disposed of safely.
