Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash
the interior and all internal accessories with luke-
warm water and some neutral soap so as to remove
the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the finish.

the symbol
suited to the freezing of fresh foods, the
conservation of frozen foods and the production

socket (the function indicator light (C) will light up

Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward
minimum settings or reduced (colder) rotating the

• room temperature;
• how often the door is opened;
• the quantity of food stored;
• location of appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
Important
If the ambient temperature is high or the
appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is
set to the lowest temperatures, it may run
continuously causing frost to form on the rear
wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher
temperature to allow automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy consumption.
Quick-freezing
For quick-freezing, turn the N/S knob (A) to the «S»
symbol. The quick-freezing indicator light (D) will
then light up.
The temperature alarm light (E)
The temperature alarm light turns on automatically
whenever the temperature within the freezer rises
above a certain value which might endanger
satisfactory long-term conservation.
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.
