Do not connect your appliance to the electricity supply until all packing and transit protectors have been removed. ⷠLeave to stand for at least 4 hours before switching on, to allow compressor oil to settle, if transported horizontally. ⷠIf you are discarding an old appliance with a lock or latch fitted to the door, ensure that it is left in a safe condition to prevent the entrapment of children. [. . . ] You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also make some noise, whether the compressor is running or not. To freeze the fresh foods use the compartment marked with 4 stars (recomanded second shelf). Don't put in freezer a too big quantity of foods in the same time. The foods quality is well kept if they are deeply frozen in the shortest time possible. Therefore it is preferable do not exceed the freezing capacity of the appliance shown in "Appliance record". The thermostat shall be adjusted in order to obtain the lowest temperature inside the freezer with the button on fast freeze function and the yellow lamp lighting. After the time necessary to freeze the fresh foods from the freezer is finished, set the thermostat button on a medium position (yellow lamp is not lighting). Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment). It could be the warm food placed inside the freezer and/or the door who was left open. When you turn the freezer temperature set buton (4) to the max position, the orange led (1) will light and the compressor will run continuously. Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of commercially frozen foods and also can be used to freeze and store fresh food. If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 19 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. If large amounts of fresh food are going to be frozen, adjust the control knob to max. 24 ours before putting the fresh food in the fast freeze compartment. it is strongly recommended to keep the knob at MAX.
