- If the freezing date is not mentioned on the

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.
Important
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.
Inside cleaning
Before starting the cleaning, unplug the
appliance from the mains.
 It is advisable to clean the appliance when
you defrost it.
 Wash the inside with lukewarm water where
you add some neutral detergent. Do not use
soap, detergent, gasoline or acetone which

During this operation, avoid the excess of
water, in order to prevent its entrance into the

bellow ribs, by means of a clean cloth.
Outside cleaning
 Clean the outside of the freezer by means
of a sponge soaked in soapy warm water,
wipe with a soft cloth and dry.
