ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
SAFETY WARNINGS
- The appliance must be connected to the mains by means of a socket with an earth connection in accordance with current
regulations. For this reason, the appliance is fitted with a plug with a suitable earth connection, to be inserted in a power socket of
the same type. The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons or animals and for damage to property resulting from
failure to observe these recommendations.
- Check that the voltage indicated on the appliance data plate corresponds to the supply voltage.
- Do not expose the refrigerant circuit to any mechanical stress, especially the following accessible components: Rear condenser (Q)(S);
Compressor (N); Capillary pipeline/Return pipeline (R); Drying filter (O); Fan (P); Any maintenance operations on the
refrigeration circuit must be carried out by authorized qualified technicians only.
SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCE
Fully unpack the appliance
Remove all polystyrene from the compressor compartment (if fitted) (M)
Remove all documentation and any accessories supplied from the compressor compartment
Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and vinegar and dry thoroughly
Close the appliance
Insert the power plug into the mains socket
Turn the temperature regulator clockwise to MAX. fig.2 (A)
The green (B) and red (C) indicator lights come on. fig.2
If present, select the FAST-FREEZE (E) function (the yellow LED (D) also comes on)
Do not open the door for approx. 4 hours until the red indicator light switches off, in order to allow the compartment to reach a
suitably cold temperature.
Food can then be placed in the freezer for fast freezing (see “maximum height for stacking”)
After 24 hours, press the FAST-FREEZE button again to cancel the function.
OPERATION INDICATOR LIGHTS
If your appliance features indicator lights, they denote the following: fig.2
Green indicator light
–
CONTROL
(B) the appliance is connected to the electrical power supply and is switched on.
The green indicator light must always be visible when the appliance is plugged in and switched on. This indicator light is particularly
important since in the event of a power cut the red and yellow indicator lights do not work.
Red indicator light
–
ALARM
(C) Temperature too high
It is normal for the red indicator light to come on under the following circumstances:
Initial switch-on of the appliance
Switch-on following defrosting
Introduction of fresh food in the freezer
The red indicator light switches off automatically when the internal temperature reaches approx. –18°C
Select, if supplied, the fast freeze function (E).
If, however, the red indicator light remains lit after 12-24 hours, the appliance may have a technical fault.
Yellow indicator light (D) – The FAST-FREEZE function is selected and the thermostat function is cancelled. The compressor
continues to work to lower the temperature until the FAST-FREEZE function is cancelled.
