Freezing with Superfrost
• Place the knob to super frost position. The
Superfrost lamp comes on.
• Wait 24 hours.
• Place the fresh food in the freezer. In order
to achieve fast freezing, food should be in
contact with the interior walls when it is placed
in the freezer.
• The Superfrost facility automatically switches
the fast freezing procedure off after 50 hours.
Important
When you place the knob to Superfrost
position, the compressor might not switch
on for a few minutes. This is due to the
integrated rise-delay switch which is
designed to increase the life span of the
refrigeration unit.
You should not switch on the Superfrost
function:
- when placing frozen food in the freezer;
- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food
daily.
Defrosting of the appliance
zWe advise you to defrost the freezer at
least twice a year or when the ice layer has an
excessive thickness.
zThe ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.
zThe quantity and the rapidity of ice build-
up depends on the ambient conditions and on
the frequency of the door opening.
zWe advise you to defrost the appliance
when the quantity of frozen food is the least.
zBefore defrosting, adjust the thermostat
knob to a higher position so that the food
stores more cold.
- Unplug the appliance.
- Take out the frozen food, wrap it in several
sheets of paper and put them in refrigerator or
a cool place.
Take the separator panel and put it under the
freezer in the direction of the dripping tube.
Take out the obstructing plug. The water
which results will be collected in the special
tray (separator panel). After the melting of the
ice and the run-off of the water please wipe
with a cloth or with a sponge, then dry well.
Put the obstruction plug back in its place.
(Item. 6)
For a fast thaw please leave the door open.
Do not use sharp metal objects to remove
the ice.
Do not use hairdriers or other electric
heating appliances for defrosting.
Inside cleaning
Before starting the cleaning, unplug the
appliance from the mains.
xIt is advisable to clean the appliance when
you defrost it.
xWash the inside with lukewarm water
where you add some neutral detergent. Do
not use soap, detergent, gasoline or acetone
which can leave a strong odour.
xWipe with a wet sponge and dry with a soft
cloth.
During this operation, avoid the excess of
water, in order to prevent its entrance into the
thermal insulation of the appliance, which
would cause unpleasant odours.
Do not forget to clean also the door gasket
especially the bellow ribs, by means of a
clean cloth.
Outside cleaning
xClean the outside of the freezer by means
of a sponge soaked in soapy warm water,
wipe with a soft cloth and dry.
xThe cleaning of the outside part of the
refrigerating circuit (motorcompressor,
condenser, connection tubes) will be done
with a soft brush or with the vacuum-cleaner.
During this operation, please take care not to
distort the tubes or detach the cables.
Do not use scouring or abrasive materials !
xAfter having finished the cleaning, replace
the accessories at their places and plug in the
