Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances. [. . . ] Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish. After plugging the plug into the power outlet, if the display is not illuminated, press key (A), appliance on. As soon as the appliance is turned on, the following signals will appear on the control panel: · The temperature flashes, the background of the display is red and you will hear a buzzer.

Each time key C is pressed, the following functions are activated in a clockwise direction: Symbol 4 : rapid freezing function. The appliance is shut off by holding down key (A) for more than 1 second. After this, a countdown of the temperature from -3 -2 -1 will be shown. Place the freezer thermostat control knob (D) in a middle position, and the appliance will be set up to provide the following temperature: roughly -18°C in the refrigerator. The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward G settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards G settings. However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on: · Room temperature; how often the door is opened; the quantity of food stored; location of appliance. Put the foods to be frozen in the upper compartment of the freezer, as this is the coldest location. The function can be de-activated at any time by pressing key C (see paragraph "Activation of Functions").

We suggest setting the knob to the middle position to obtain an internal temperature of approximately -18°C, which guarantees proper freezing and conservation of the frozen foods. The freezer compartment is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen food, and for freezing fresh food. The maximum quantity of foods to freeze in 24 hours is shown on the serial number plate. To freeze fresh foods, you will need to activate the rapid freezing function.

Important In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling). When normal conditions are restored: - the acoustic signal shuts off; - the temperature value continues to flash; - the display illumination remains red. [. . . ] The lower hinge cover inserted in the accessories bag, is useful to guarantee the exact position of the kitchen furniture and the appliance.
