NOTICE

After transport stand the appliance upright and wait

at least 3 hours before plugging the appliance into the

mains to ensure proper performance.

Use average temperature settings to ensure optimum

performance and to save energy.

Once the appliance is connected to the mains, the green

"B" and the red "C" lights will come on. Turn the "A" knob

to the Super setting.

When the red "C" light turns off, turn the "A" knob to a

setting 3.

At this point, the freezer is ready for use.

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

- 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.

- Place the fresh food that is being frozen into the top com-

partment "D", 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.

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.
