This freezer, marked , is suitable for
freezing food and permits long term storage of
frozen food.

Food to be frozen should be left for at least 24
hours.
The procedure for this is as follows:
1...If the freezer has been disconnected and is
empty, plug it an and leave for 3 hours before
putting any food in. By pressing the fast free-
zer button 24 hours before freezing you will
help cool down the freezer quicker.
If the temperature alarm goes on see the ear-
lier section on the temperature alarm.
2...It is possible that the temperature alarm will
sound if a lot of new food is put in with existing
food. This is due to a slight rise in temperatu-
re. The alarm will switch itself off automatically.

To store Food properly the inside temperature
should never rise above - 18°C.
An ajustable temperature control regulates this
temperature.
Make sure the thermostat is on a medium setting.
However, it may sometimes be necessary (due to
poor ventilation, high room temperatures, frequent
opening of doors…) to regulate the setting of the
thermostat.
In the case of an accidental stoppage of the
appliance or a power cut proceed as follows:
• Keep the doors closed at all times.
• Try to find out how long the loss of power will
last for.
Once re-established:
A) If the freezer is fully loaded and the power
failure is less than the time indicated on the
«Rating Plate» no damage has been done
to the food.
B) If the freezer is not fully loaded the tempe-
rature will rise more quickly. If thawing has
not started proceed as in point A.
C)If the temperature has risen sufficiently the
temperature alarm will sound and the tem-
perature indicator will blink.
You should:
• Check that the doors are shut. If they are
not, you will hear also the door alarm.
• Check that you haven’t overloaded the
fridge/freezer with a large amount of new
food.
• Check that there hasn’t been a long
power cut.
• Check that the fridge/freezer appears to
be working properly and isn’t broken. You
should switch the alarm off by pushing
the appropriate button.
If it continues to come back on it is likely
that there is a problem with the product.
Advice then to the Technical Oficial
Service.
If thawing has started, consume the food
immediately, or cook it and then freeze it
again.
