ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Please ensure that the voltage (Volt, V) of the mains socket matches the indications on the data plate which
you will find inside your appliance.
Should the socket and the appliance plug not be compatible, do not use adapters, multiple plugs or
extensions, but have the socket rcplaced with another suitable kind by qualificd personnel.
The socket which feeds the appliance must be kept operanonal for future operations (cleaning, defrosting, etc.).
Should the cable become damaged, replace it timeously by contacting specialized Service Centres for the
purchase and assembly of the said cable.
Electric safety of this appliance is assured only when it has been connected to a perfectly effective earthing
Installation äs specified in the electric safety norms in force.
STARTING PROCEDURE
Important if the appliance has been transported to your house in a horizontal position, please wait for a
few hours before plugging in the appliance to allow oil to flew back into the compressor.
Proceed with the Intemal cleaning , then connect the appliance to the electric socket without using an adaptor
(see Electrical connection).
Ad just the thermostats to the food preservation position of your choice (see Instructions for fridge-freezer
use).
USE OF THE APPLIANCE
Warning for "Alto System" applknces
These appliances have a metal accumulator of cold in the upper part of the storage compartment:
bigger models have an identical accumulator in the lower part too. These accumuktors greatly
reduce the energy consumption.
Since these accumuktors can hold the cold for very long time, the following happens:
After switching the "warm'' appliance on (e.g. at the very first Start and after every defrost
Operation) you should wait for about 10 hours before putting food inside the compartment, so that
the accumuktors get cold enough.
Freezer adjustment
To adjust the internal temperature turn the thermostat knob which is found in the controls section.
Normally an intermediate position will be appropriate.
GREEN PILOT LIGHT
GREEN PILOT LIGHT "on": indicates that the appliance has been electrically connected (the
plug is in the socket).
RED PILOT LIGHT
Red pilot light switched on indicates that the temperature inside the freezer is too hot (e.g. "no
electric current", failure, etc.): Set to fast-freezing and check that the food inside the freezer has not
started defrosting, not even partiallyl
Keep the door closed and check that the red pilot light will switch off within 2 hours. If necessary,
adjust thermostat to colder position.
The red pilot light may go "on" for a brief period of time after setting the fast-freezing position.
This is due to the door being kept open for a long period of time when storing large quantities of
fresh foodstuffs. This does not necessarily indicate any anomaly.
YELLOW LIGHT
Yellow light "on", indicates that fast freezing is in action. The freezer is working to get the coldest
temperature.
FAST FREEZING
For the types without the push button on control board, the FAST FREEZING is activated by
rotating the knob onto the S/SUPER/FF position, and it is manually disconnected by rotating the
knob anticlockwise.
In order to maintain maximum capacity, remove any drawers found in the freezer except the first
one at the bottom.
