ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
Packaging and waste treatment
After unpacking the appliance, do not throw the packaging in the garbage but separate
the various materials (such as styrofoam, cardboard. etc.) according to the local regula-
tions and procedures for waste disposal.
Important:
This appliance has been produced without CFCs. The refrigerating circuit contains HFC R
134a fluid, or alternatively, R 600a isobutane gas. For further details, look at the serial
number plate on the appliance.
When cleaning the appliance, use only the materials and the procedure specified in the
section dealing with cleaning. Otherwise the appliance may be damaged.
For appliances with isobutane (R 600 a)
Isobutane is a natural gas that does not harm the environment.
Isobutane is, however, flammable. You must therefore ensure that:
- when the appliance is installed there is more than 3 cubic metres of air around it;
- the appliance's ventilation vents are kept unobstructed and clean;
- the appliance's refrigerating circuit is not damaged neither internally, through the use of
sharp or pointed objects nor because the condenser unit was incorrectly cleaned.
At the end of the appliance's working life it must be stored before being disposed of. For
information on proper disposal of the appliance, consult your retailer or the local authority
responsible for disposal.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The ambient temperature, the load and the frequency with which the doors of the applian-
ce are opened all affect the internal temperature. When the control value is changed the
freezer cannot start up immediately because it has been halted. Temperature regulation
is done using the thermostat knob to be found outside the freezer.
By turning the knob clockwise lower temperatures are reached. It is recommended to keep
the thermostat knob at a mid point position and to increase it by a few numbers when the
freezer is opened frequently or when a lage quantity of food to be frozen is put in.
CONTROL PANEL Fig. 2
When the plug is inserted, the green light (B) lights up.
The thermostat A controls the freezer temperature.
On Position "●" the freezer will not operate although the green light will still be on.
Turning the knob clockwise will start the appliance.
The red warning light (C) when lit up means that the temperature in the freezer compart-
ment is not adequate. This could depend on:
- When appliance is firstly plugged in.
- Door left open or not properly closed.
- Insertion of fresh food to be frozen in the freezer compartement.
- The red light goes off once the freezer compartment has reached the required temperature.
By turning the thermostat knob to "SUPER" the yellow light (D) will illuminate, indicating
that the fast freeze has been started making the compressor work continuously.
