USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

Starting
Insert the power supply plug into the nearest wall socket (the function indicator light (A) will light up indicating that the freezer is receiving electrical input). Turn the thermostat knob (E) to the right to a medium setting (the temperature alarm light (C) will light up). For the satisfactory conservation of frozen foods, the freezer�s internal temperature must be lower than -18°C. Wait until the temperature alarm light (C) turns off when the optimum temperature has been reached. Thermostat settings may be modified according to the surrounding room temperature, the location of the freezer and the frequency of door openings, etc. To turn off the freezer, turn the thermostat knob to the «O» position. The refrigerator compartment will remain operating.
Warning light
Warning light (C) lights up when the temperature inside the freezer compartment has increased to a value which jeopardizes the long-term storage of food in the compartment. When the appliance is switched on for the first time or when food is placed in the compartment for freezing, it is normal for this light to remain on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage.
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star freezer is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh food. To fast freeze food, if the appliance has been out of operation, allow it to run on the fast freeze setting for at least three hours before loading the food. If, however, the appliance is already in operation, set it to run on the fast freeze setting for at least 24 hours before loading the food. Place the food to be frozen in the upper compartment of the freezer as this is the coldest part.
Quick-freezing
For quick-freezing, turn the N/S knob (D) to the «S» symbol. The quick-freezlng indlcator light (B) will then light up.
