CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS
•
Before calling your local dealer for servicing
assistance, check the following points to see if
you may not resolve the problem yourself:
•
Make sure that the freezer is plugged into the wall
socket correctly, and that electrical current arrives
to the freezer without interruption.
•
Control the thermostat setting.
•
In the event that the freezer makes excessive
noise or vibration, make sure that it is not in direct
contact with the wall or adjacent furniture.
•
If defective operation continues after these
controls, call your local Service Network and
provide all the data listed on the rating plate:
model, serial number, etc.
INSTALLATION
Location
The appliance should be installed well away from
sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct
sunlight etc.
Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back
of the cabinet. To ensure best performance, if the
appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall
unit, the minimum distance between the top of the
cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 100 mm
(A). Ideally, however, the appliance should not be
positioned below overhanging wall units (B).
Accurate levelling is ensured by one or more
adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet.
Important
It is essential that the appliance be connected to an
efficient earth tap. For this purpose the supply cable
plug incorporates a special earth contact. If the
sockets of your domestic wiring system are not
earthed, have the appliance connected to a separate
earth wire by a qualified electrician in accordance
with existing safety regulations.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if
the above safety precautions are not observed.
This appliance complies with EEC directive
number 87/308 of 2/6/87 relative to radio
interference suppression.
This appliance complies with the following
E.E.C. Directives:
- 73/23 EEC of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and
subsequent mod)fications;
28
A
B
NP00
ATTENTION!
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from
the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be
easily accessible after installation.
- 89/336 EEC of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive) and subsequent
modifications.
Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and
frequency shown on the serial number plate
correspond to your domestic power supply. Voltage
can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage.
To freeze fresh foods turn the fast freezing knob at
least 24 hours before introducing the food into the
freezer in order to ensure better freezing results.
Place the food to be frozen in the compartment as
shown in figure.
In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating
plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the
cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets,
the maximum quantity freezable is slightly less.
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.
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.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers and baskets from appliance (except for the
last one at the bottom) and place food on cooling
shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated
on the side of the upper section (where applicable).
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 (ali other foods) according to
the available time. Frozen products which come in
small-sized or separate packages may be cooked
directly without thawing; obviously, in this case, the
cooking time will fast a little longer.
Ice-cube production
Fill the trays with water to 3/4 of their height, to
permit the expansion of the ice, then put them in the
space below the quick-freezing compartment (see
the diagram). If the water in your area is rich in
minerai salts (limestone, in particular), we advise you
to use noncarbonated mineral water for the
production of ice cubes. The ice-cubes may be
shaken out of the plastic trays with a slight twist.

Cold accumulator
A cold accumulator is supplied in the freezer; this
increases the leght of time for which food will keep in
the event of the power failure or breakdown. It must
be placed in the top drawer.
