Plaats Het apparaat moet ver van hittebronnen, zoals radiatoren, boilers, direct zonlicht enz., vandaan worden geïnstal- leerd. Zorg er voor dat lucht vrij kan circuleren aan de achterkant van de kast. Als het apparaat onder een muur met een afdakje wordt geplaatst, moet de minimale af- stand tussen de bovenkant van de kast en de muur ten minste 100 mm bedragen om optimale prestaties te ga- randeren. Voor de beste prestatie kunt u het apparaat echter beter niet onder een afdakje zetten. De afstelbare voetjes aan de onderkant van het apparaat garanderen een nauwkeurig horizontale uitlijning. Als de kast in een hoek is geplaatst en de zijkant bevat scharnieren die naar de muur wijzen, moet de afstand tussen de muur en de kast ten minste 10 mm zijn om de deur ver genoeg open te krijgen zodat de planken verwij- derd kunnen worden.Waarschuwing! Het moet mogelijk zijn het apparaat van de hoofd- stroomtoevoer af te halen; de stekker moet daarom na installatie gemakkelijk toe- gankelijk zijn. min.100 mm 15 mm 15 mm Omkeerbaarheid van de deur Belangrijk! Om de volgende handelingen uit te voeren, raden we aan dat dit wordt gedaan met de hulp van een tweede persoon die de deuren van het apparaat stevig vasthoudt tijdens de werkzaamheden. Om de draairichting van de deur te veranderen, gaat u als volgt te werk: 1. Trek de stekker uit het stopcontact. 2. Kantel het apparaat voor- zichtig naar achteren zodat de compressor de vloer niet kan raken. 3. Schroef beide stelvoetjes los. 4. Draai de schroeven van het onderste deurscharnier los. 5. Verwijder de deur van het apparaat door deze iets om- laag te trekken. 6. Schroef de bovenste deurscharnierpen los en monteer deze aan de andere kant. 7. Installeer de deur van het apparaat op de bovenste deurscharnierpen. 8. Verwijder het onderste scharnier. Verplaats de deurscharnierpen in de richting van de pijl. 9. Draai de schroef los en monteer deze aan de andere kant. 10. Installeer het onderste scharnier aan de tegen- overgestelde kant waarbij u de stand van de deur onge- wijzigd laat. 11. Monteer de ene schroef op de plaats die is vrijge- komen aan de andere kant evenals de stelvoetjes (2 stuks)12. Verwijder en monteer het handvat 1) op de tegen- overliggende kant. 13. Zet het apparaat op zijn plaats, zet het waterpas, wacht minstens vier uur en steek dan de stekker in het stopcontact. 1) indien nodig Controleer goed en verzeker u ervan dat:• alle schroeven zijn aangehaald, 11

• de deur goed open en dicht gaat. Als de omgevingstemperatuur laag is (bijv. in de winter), kan het zijn dat de pakking niet precies op de kast past. Wacht in dat geval tot de pakking op natuurlijke wijze passend wordt. Als u bovenstaande handelingen liever niet zelf uitvoert, neem dan contact op met de dichtstbijzijnde Klantenser- vice.

Control panel 12345 1Green On/Off Indicator Light 2Temperature Regulator and On/Off Switch 3Yellow Fast Freeze Indicator Light 4Acoustic Signal Stop and Fast Freeze Switch 5Red Alarm Indicator Light Switching on 1. Allow the appliance to stand for 4 hrs after installa- tion. 2. Insert the plug into the wall socket. 3. Turn the Temperature Regulator clockwise to a tem- perature lower than > position. 4. The Green On/Off Indicator Light will light up and Red Alarm Indicator Light will blink. 5. The lighting up of the Green On/Off Indicator Light means that the appliance is switched on. 6. The blinking of the Red Alarm Indicator Light means an improper temperature in the freezing compart- ment. In addition, an intermittent sound can be heard, which can be stopped by pressing the Acoustic Signal Stop and Fast Freeze Switch once. 7. When switching on the freezer for the first time, the Red Alarm Indicator Light will blink until the internal temperature has reached a level required for the safe conservation of frozen food. Switching off 1. To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature Reg- ulator to the O position. 2. To disconnect the appliance from the power discon- nect the mains plug from the wall socket. Temperature regulation The temperature within the appliance is controlled by the Temperature Regulator situated on the control panel. To operate the appliance, proceed as follows: • turn the Temperature Regulator toward lower settings to obtain the minimum coldness. • turn the Temperature Regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness. A medium setting is generally the most suitable. However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends on: • room temperature • how often the door is opened • the quantity of food stored • the location of the appliance. Red Alarm Indicator Light Under normal operating conditions, the internal temper- ature of the freezer will ensure the long-term conservation of the stored food. When such temperature rises above a certain level (-12 °C), the appliance will trigger an acoustic and light alarm. The light alarm is a blink red light (Red Alarm Indicator Light), while the acoustic alarm is an intermittent sound. 15

You can stop the acoustic alarm by pressing the Acoustic Signal Stop Switch once. When switching on the freezer for the first time, the Red Alarm Indicator Light will blink until the internal temperature has reached a level required for the safe con- servation of frozen food. Fast Freeze function If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen: 1. Press the Fast Freeze Switch for 2-3 seconds to ac- tivate the fast-freeze function 6-24 hours before plac- ing the fresh food in the freezer, the Yellow Fast Freeze Indicator Light will illuminate. The compressor will now run continuously, to ensure that the fresh food is frozen as quickly as possible. 2. It is possible to deactivate the function at any time by pressing the Fast Freeze Switch for 2-3 seconds. 3. Place the foods in the freezing compartments (the second and third boxes), for maximum freezing per- formance remove the freezer tray and drawers (if the drawer is foreseen) and then place the foods to be frozen directly on the evaporator. In case of freezing smaller food volumes do not need to remove the freezer tray and drawers. 4. Once the food is completely frozen (it may take up to 24 hours) you can manually switch off the fast-freeze function by pressing the Fast Freeze Switch for 2- 3 seconds and the Yellow Fast Freeze Indicator light will also go out. 5. Move frozen food from the freezing compartments into the other three compartments (storing compart- ments) to make room for another freezing. If the Fast Freeze Switch is accidentally left on, the fast-freeze function will be automatically switched off 48 hours later. The Yellow Fast Freeze Indicator light will also go out. First use Cleaning the interior Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior 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 freezer compartments (the second and the third box- es) are suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time. To freeze fresh food activate the fast freeze function. 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. The freezing tray can be used for freezing small fruits (raspberry, strawberry, currant, etc.). Place a thin layer of the unpacked fruits in the tray. Once they are frozen, the fruits can be packed, sorted and placed in the storing compartments. Storage of frozen food When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings. 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. 16

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 refrigerant is being pumped around and you will hear a whirring sound and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is correct. • The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenom- enon. 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 freezing To help you make the most of the freezing 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 thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs; • prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subse- quently to thaw only the quantity required; • wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages 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 after removal from the freezer compartment, 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 transferred 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 rapidly and cannot be refrozen. • Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer. Care and cleaning Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation. This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians. Periodic cleaning The equipment has to be cleaned regularly: • 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. Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/ or cables inside the cabinet. Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour. Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the ap- pliance and save electricity consumption. Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling system. Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chem- icals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this ap- pliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer 17

casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added. After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply. Defrosting the freezer A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top compartment. Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm. Important! About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the Temperature Regulator toward higher settings , in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation. To remove the frost, follow the instructions below: 1. Switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. 2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place. Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods. 3. Leave the door open and insert the plastic scraper in the appropriate seating at the bottom centre, placing a basin underneath to collect the defrost water. In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm water in the freez- er compartment. In ad- dition, remove pieces of ice that break away be- fore defrosting is com- plete. 4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor- oughly and keep the scraper for future use. 5. Switch on the appliance. 6. Turn the Temperature Regulator to the > position and leave to run for at least 4 hours in quick freeze mode. 7. After 4 hours reload the previously removed food into the compartments. Warning! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life. Periods of non-operation When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions: 1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply 2. remove all food 3. defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories 4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells. Important! If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure. What to do if… Warning! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do the troubleshooting that is not in this manual. Important! There are some sounds during normal use (compressor, refrigerant circulation).Important! The appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being no current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit. 18
