Advice for food conservation
The freezer is intended to keep the frozen
food for a long time, as well as to freeze fresh
food.
One of the main elements for a successful
food freezing is the packing.
The main conditions that the packing must
fulfill are the following: to be airtight, to be
inert towards the packed food, to resist to low
temperatures, to be proof to liquids, grease,
water vapours, smells, to be able to be
washed.
These conditions are fulfilled by the following
types of packings: plastic or aluminium film,
plastic and aliminium vessels, waxed
cardboard glasses or plastic glasses.
I M P O R T A N T !
- For freezing the fresh food please use the
supplied baskets of the appliance.
- Do not place into the freezer a too large
quantity of food at a time. The quality of the
food is best kept if they are deeply frozen as
quickly as possible. This is why it is advisable
not to exceed the freezing capacity of the
appliance specified in the "Product Fiche".
- The fresh food must not come into contact
with the food already frozen.
- The frozen food you have bought can be
placed into the freezer without having to
adjust the thermostat.
- If the freezing date is not mentioned on the
packing, please take into consideration a
period of max. 3 months, as a general guide.
- The food, even partially defrosted, cannot be
frozen again, it must be consumed
immediately or cooked and then refrozen.
- The fizzy drinks will not be kept in the
freezer.
- In case of a power failure, do not open the door
of the appliance. The frozen food will not be
affected if the failure lasts less than 56 hours.
Freezing with Superfrost
• Place the knob to super frost position. The
Superfrost lamp comes on.
• Wait 24 hours.
• Place the fresh food in the freezer. In order
to achieve fast freezing, food should be in
contact with the interior walls when it is placed
in the freezer.
• The Superfrost facility automatically switches
the fast freezing procedure off after 50 hours.
I M P O R T A N T !
When you place the knob to Superfrost
position, the compressor might not switch
on for a few minutes. This is due to the
integrated rise-delay switch which is
designed to increase the life span of the
refrigeration unit.
You should not switch on the Superfrost
function:
- when placing frozen food in the freezer;
- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food
daily.
Defrosting of the appliance

We advise you to defrost the freezer at
least twice a year or when the ice layer has an
excessive thickness.
 The ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.

The quantity and the rapidity of ice build-
up depends on the ambient conditions and on
the frequency of the door opening.
 We advise you to defrost the appliance
when the quantity of frozen food is the least.
 Before defrosting, adjust the thermostat
knob to a higher position so that the food
stores more cold.
- Unplug the appliance.
- Take out the frozen food, wrap it in several
sheets of paper and put them in refrigerator or
a cool place.
Take the separator panel and put it under the
freezer in the direction of the dripping tube.
Take out the obstructing plug. The water
which results will be collected in the special
tray (separator panel). After the melting of the
ice and the run-off of the water please wipe
with a cloth or with a sponge, then dry well.
Put the obstruction plug back in its place.
(Item. 6)
For a fast thaw please leave the door open.
Do not use sharp metal objects to remove
the ice.
Do not use hairdriers or other electric
heating appliances for defrosting.
