Starting  
It is perfectly normal for the temperature alarm light  
to remain lit up for a short time after the freezer is  
initially turned on.  
It will remain lit up until the optimum temperature for  
the conservation of frozen food is attained.  
Insert the power supply plug into the nearest wall  
socket (the function indicator light (D) will light up  
indicating that the freezer is receiving electrical  
input).  
Turn the thermostat knob (E) to the right to a medium  
setting (the temperature alarm light (A) will light up).  
For the satisfactory conservation of frozen foods, the  
freezer’s internal temperature must be lower than  
–18°C.  
Wait until the temperature alarm light (A) turns off  
when the optimum temperature has been reached.  
Thermostat settings may be modified according to the  
surrounding room temperature, the location of the  
freezer and the frequency of door openings, etc.  
To turn off the freezer, turn the thermostat knob to the  
«O» position.

Freezing food  
Rules to observe when freezing  
foods  
Set the freezer to quick-freezing operational status.  
Wait at least 3 hours before introducing fresh foods  
into the freezer if it has only recently been turned on.  
All products to be frozen must be fresh and of excellent  
quality.  
Each freezing package must be adjusted to the family’s  
consumption quantity in order to be used just once.  
Small-sized freezing packages allow a more rapid and  
uniform freezing.  
Do not forget that once frozen foods have thawed out,  
they spoil rapidly.  
If the freezer has already been working for some time,  
turn the respective knob to the «S» position at least 24  
hours before introducing the food into the freezer in  
order to ensure better freezing results. This period of  
time may be shortened according to the quantity of  
food.  
Low-fat content foods are better conserved in the freezer  
than those with higher fat content. Salt (whenever  
present) reduces the duration of satisfactory  
conservation.  
Foods to be frozen must be enclosed in air-tight sacks or  
containers especially indicated for this purpose.  
Close these sacks or containers tightly to eliminate all  
air.  
Never place bottles or cans of carbonated beverages in  
the freezer. These might explode.  
Never introduce hot foods or liquids.  
Never fill the freezing sacks or containers with covers to  
the brim.  
Do not consume certain products (popsicles, etc.)  
immediately after removing them from the freezer,  
because their extremely low temperature might cause  
burns.  
When quick-freezing is being performed, the  
compressor works continuously, employing all of its  
refrigerating power to the maximum.  
Keep the knob as it is for another 24 hours after the  
introduction of the food into the freezer and then  
return the knob to the «N» position.  
Bear in mind the freezing capacity of your freezer;  
that is, the maximum quantity of food that may be  
frozen in 24 hours.  
This freezing capacity is 22 kg.  
Distribute the packages as shown in Figure 7.  
Arrange the foods to be frozen in the upper  
compartments.  
When the necessary freezing time has elapsed,  
distribute the newly-frozen foods into the drawers to  
free the compartments for new foods to be frozen.  
Indicate the freezing date on every sack or container as a  
means of controlling conservation times.  
Never open the freezer door or introduce new foods to  
be frozen whenever a Quick-freezing phase is already in  
progress.

A special card is located in the holder on the inner door  
of the freezer compartment. On the upper part it shows  
pictures of different types of food followed by a figure.  
These figures indicate the maximum storage time, in  
months, for each type of food.

Important  
When electrical current happens to be cut off, the  
freezer door must not be opened. If the power failure  
is short (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer is full, there  
is no risk that the food will spoil.  
If the power failure lasts longer, the food must be  
consumed as rapidly as possible, or otherwise cooked  
and re-frozen again.

separate packages may be cooked directly without  
thawing; obviously, in this case, the cooking time will  
last a little longer.  
Frozen food storage  
When the freezer is being turned on for the first time,  
or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the N/S  
knob to the Quick-freezing position and then wait at  
least two hours before introducing the food to be  
conserved.  
You may then return the knob to the «N» position.  
This two-hour waiting period may be avoided if the  
freezer has already been in operation.  
Ice-cube production  
This appliance is equipped with trays for the  
production of ice-cubes.  
Fill these trays with water to 3/4 of their height, then  
put them in the freezer.  
The ice-cubes may be shaken out from the trays by  
simply twisting; do not use metallic instruments to  
remove the trays from the freezer.  
Helpful hints  
Always check the preparation date indicated on the  
frozen foods you buy and respect the expiration time  
provided by the producer.  
Defrosting  
Frost should be removed with the special plastic  
scraper provided, whenever the thickness exceeds  
4 mm. During this operation it is not necessary to cut-  
off the power or to remove the food from the freezer.  
Do not open the freezer door too often and leave it  
open only for the minimum time necessary.  
Unnecessary increases in temperature will notably  
reduce the duration of the frozen food conservation.  
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial  
means to speed up the thawing process other than  
those recommended by the manufacturer.  
Make sure that all frozen food packages are intact;  
otherwise the food may have spoiled.  
If such packages present signs of swelling or humidity  
marks, this means that the food has not been  
conserved correctly, implying that the product has lost  
some of its original quality.  
If a thick layer of ice is formed it will be necessary to  
carry out complete defrosting as following:  
set the knob (E) to «O» position or unplug the  
appliance from the mains socket;  
When buying frozen foods, carry them in a thermally  
insulated shopping bag whenever possible. In any  
case, always purchase frozen foods at the end of your  
shopping. Wrap the frozen foods in newspaper and  
then put them into the freezer as soon as you arrive  
home.  
wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper and  
place the food packages in a cool place;  
leave the door open. Introduce the plastic scraper in  
the appropriate seating at the bottom center, as shown  
in figure, place underneath a basin to collect the  
defrost water.  
Always check the frozen foods you buy carefully at  
the moment of purchase, because even partially-  
thawed foods must not be re-frozen but must be  
consumed within 24 hours of purchase.  
When defrosting is completed dry the interior  
thoroughly.  
Keep the scraper for future use.  
To improve the capacity of the freezer, it is necessary  
to remove drawer «A» and baskets «B» and «C».  
Store frozen foods directly on the compartments  
shelves. In this case avoid passing the load  
Turn the thermostat knob (E) to the desired position  
or replace the plug in the socket. After letting the  
appliance to run for two or three hours on the quick-  
freeze setting, it is ready again for storing frozen food.  
limit  
(Fig. 7).  
Fig. 8  
Cold accumulator  
A cold accumulator is supplied in the freezer; this  
increases the length of time for which food will keep  
in the event of a power failure or breakdown. It must  
be placed in the top drawer (Fig. 7).  
Thawing-out frozen foods  
Frozen foods must be allowed to thaw out before use  
either in the refrigerator (meat, poultry, fish, etc.) or at  
room temperature (all other foods) according to the  
available time.
