ture inside the freezer, ensuring that the goods are
conserved for at least 20 hours.
Do not place full bottles in the freezer because liquids
increase in volume when they freeze and this could
cause the bottles to burst.
Tips on storage
For best storage of fresh-frozen and frozen foods, do
not set the thermostat knob below Min, regardless of
the ambient temperature of the room where the freezer
is installed.
For ambient temperatures of up to 25°- 27°C, the
thermostat knob should be set between 1 and 2, while
for temperatures up to 32°C the setting should be
between 2 and 3.
Follow the instructions on the packages of frozen foods
scrupulously.
If none are provided, do not store the food for more
than 3 months from the date of purchase.
When purchasing frozen food, make sure that they have
been stored at the proper temperature and that the
package is properly sealed. When purchasing frozen
foods, it is best to transport them in appropriate
containers to keep them cold and then place them in the
freezer immediately.
If the package is damp on the outside or is abnormally
swollen, it is likely that the package was stored at an
inadequate temperature and the food has deteriorated.
Setting the thermostat to warmer values than those
indicated in the table in the chapter "Setting up the
appliance", or installing it in unsuitable conditions,
may compromise the preservation of food.
ENERGY SAVING
___________________________________________
Install the Appliance Correctly
This means that the appliance should be installed away
from sources of heat or direct sunlight, in a well venti-
lated room.
Correct Temperature Settings
Set the freezer temperature knob to one of the medium
settings. Very low temperatures will not only consume a
great deal of energy, but will neither improve nor
lengthen the storage life of the food.
Shut the Doors
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary –
every time you open the door most of the cold air will be
lost.
In order to restore the correct temperature, the motor
will have to run and consume energy.
Check the Door Seals
Keep the seals clean and pliable so that they fit closely
against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
Avoid Frost Build-up
Remember to check the sides of the freezer for frost.
When the frost becomes too thick, defrost the freezer
immediately (See, "Maintaining the Appliance").

MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE
___________________________________________
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning
off the general switch in your home)
Defrosting
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration
circuit.
It is a good idea to remove the frost build up inside of
the appliance from time to time.
Make sure not to use pointed metal objects to do so as
this could result in piercing the refrigeration circuits,
causing irreparable damage to the appliance. Use a
not-pointed tool in plastic material.
To defrost the freezer completely (which should be
done once or twice a year), disconnect the appliance
from the power supply and leave the door open until all
the frost has melted.
The freezer is equipped with a system to drain the
water from the defrosting procedure. Simply, place a
container in the position indicated in figures 1 or 2. To
speed up defrosting, one or more pots of warm water
can be placed inside the appliance.
While defrosting the freezer, it is a good idea to wrap
the food taken from the freezer in several layers of
paper and place it in a cool place. Since the temperature
of the frozen food will inevitably rise, it is best to
consume it quickly as its storage life will have been
shortened.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The inside of the freezer should be cleaned on a periodic
basis after it has been defrosted. Only use a water and
bicarbonate solution to clean the appliance.
Do not use abrasive cleaning products, detergents or
soap. After the inside has been cleaned, rinse well with
clean water and dry carefully.
Once the appliance has been cleaned, turn on the
appliance, following the instructions in Setting Up Your
Appliance.
Changing the inside lamp bulb
To change the bulb inside the appliances that are
equipped with internal lighting, remove the bulb cover
situated on the inside wall of the door by pushing the
ends of thecover indicated in figures 1 or 2. Replace the
old bulb with a new one of no higher than 15 W.
When not in use
Should the unit not be used for a long period of time (for
example during the summer holidays), disconnect the
plug from the mains and leave the door open to avoid
the formation of mould and unpleasant odours after
completing the defrosting and cleaning operations.
