Conformity declaration This appliance incorporates parts intended to come into contact with foodstuffs in compliance with EEC Directive 89/109/CEE. Information This appliance is free of CFC’s (refrigerant circuit contains R134a) or free of HFC’s (refrigerant circuit contains R600a - Isobutane). For more details, please refer to the rating plate on the appliance. [. . . ] If your appliance is provided with the exterior thermometer ብ, the normal operation is indicated by the switching on of one or more green pilot lamps; dependent on the tempeature inside the freezer. When the appliance is first connected to the mains, the red light ቦ only will flash. It will switch off when the green pilot lamps of the thermometer light up, indicating that the appliance is ready to be loaded with foods to be stored. If your appliance is not provided with an exterior thermometer, the normal operation is indicated by the green light ቩ. When the freezer is first connected to the mains, the green pilot lamp ቩ and the red pilot lamp ቨ will be illuminated. When the red pilot lamp switches off, the appliance can be loaded with foods to be stored. Freezing-in The maximum quantity, in Kg, of foods which can be frozen in 24 hours, at an ambient temperature of 25°C, is stated on the rating plate (Fig. If you need to freeze the maximum quantity suggested, we recommend you switch on the fast freeze facility ቢ or ቫ (yellow pilot lamp ቤ or ቪ alight), 24 prior to introducing foods to be frozen and to let on for the next 24 hours. The freezing compartment is situated at the top of the appliance. At completion of freezing, disconnect the fast freeze switch (yellow pilot lamp off). The freezing times are reduced for smaller loads. If you need to freeze very small quantities of food, it is not necessary to switch on the fast freeze facility. Do not store warm foods in the freezer; do not re-freeze partially or totally thawed foods. Wrap foods in aluminium or polythene sheets or place them in appropriate containers. Label each pack indicating the contents and the freezing date. The freezer can maintain the correct storage temperature for 16-18 hours even after a power failure. Some appliances are provided with cold packs (eutectics) which have to be positioned on the top grid. They can increase the storage time in case of power failure to 25-28 hours. However, during this time, we suggest you do not open the freezer door. Note: Due to the efficacity of the door seal, it is not always possible to open the freezer door immediately after closing it. Wait some minutes before trying to open it. Production of ice cubes Fill the trays 3/4 of their depth and place them in the top compartment. If the trays stick to the bottom, do not try to detach them with sharp or cutting instruments. Attention: Do not store sealed containers or carbonated drinks into the freezer as they may explode. [. . . ] To prevent unnecessary service calls for which you will be charged, we suggest you consult this trouble-shooting guide. 1) If the red light is on continuously or flashing, temperature is too high. Check that: - the door is properly closed - the thermostat control knob is on the correct setting (see chapter "Adjusting the temperature") - the freezer is not near a heat source 7 English - the air circulated freely through the ventilation openings - there is not a large build-up of frost on the inner walls - the condenser (black grill) at the rear is clean (Fig. 12) - the ambient temperature is excessively low (lower than +15°C).
