I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.
Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.
Quick response and exactly what I was looking for and at a great fair price!

the quantity of food. When quick-freezing is being performed, the compressor works continuously, employing all of its refrigerating power to the maximum. Keep the knob as it is for another 24 hours after the introduction of the food into the freezer and then return the knob to the «N» position. Bear in mind the freezing capacity of your freezer; that is, the maximum quantity of food that may be frozen in 24 hours. This freezing capacity is 22 kg. Distribute the packages in the two upper baskets. Arrange the foods to be frozen in the upper compartments. When the necessary freezing time has elapsed, distribute the newly-frozen foods into the drawers to free the compartments for new foods to be frozen.
Important
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under �rising time�, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).
Frozen food storage
When the freezer is being turned on for the first time, or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the N/S knob to the Quick-freezing position and then wait at least two hours before introducing the food to be conserved. You may then return the knob to the «N» position. This two-hour waiting period may be avoided if the freezer has already been in operation.
Thawing out frozen foods
Frozen foods must be allowed to thaw out before use either in the refrigerator (meat, poultry, fish, etc.) or at room temperature (ali other foods) according to the available time. Frozen products which come in small-sized or separate packages may be cooked directly without thawing; obviously, in this case, the cooking time will fast a little longer.
Ice-cube production
Fill the trays with water to 3/4 of their height, to permit the expansion of the ice, then put them in the space below the quick-freezing compartment (see the diagram). If the water in your area is rich in minerai salts (limestone, in particular), we advise you to use noncarbonated mineral water for the production of ice cubes. The ice-cubes may be shaken out of the plastic trays with a slight twist.
