[. . . ] Before disposing of your old appliance, remember to break or remove the lock as a safety measure to protect children who might lock themselves inside the appliance when playing. In addition, if the appliance is a new one with a lock, keeo the key out of the reach of small children. If your appliance is not operating properly, read the chapter entitled, “Trouble Shooting”, which might help you resolve the problem, before calling an after-sales service centre. Do not attempt to repair the appliance by tampering with the internal components. [. . . ] Position the appliance in such a way that you can access the socket where it is plugged in. Ventilation The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with an opening (window or French window) that provide the appropriate amount of air re-circulation. During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance. The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating plate located within the freezer. Away from Heat Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like. After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the vertical upright position and wait at least 3 hours before inserting the plug into the socket in order to ensure that it functions properly. Electrical Connection and Earthing Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located within 7 GB A closer look A Compartment for freezing and storage B C D Storage compartments A Control Panel B Defrost water drain system D 3 0 1 2 C a Control Panel Thermostat ’’a’’ This regulates the temperature inside the appliance automatically. Turn the knob from setting 1 to 3 for increasingly colder temperatures. C d b Yellow Light ’’c’’ When this light is on (move the switch to the left), the compressor will operate continuously to reach the lower temperatures necessary for freezing fresh foods quickly. Always follow the instructions on the packages of deep frozen foods carefully and if there are no instructions neverkeep the food for more than 3 months from the date of purchase. When buying deep-frozen foods, ensure that they have been stored at appropriate temperatures and that the wrapping is intact. To keep the quality of the deep-frozen food unlatered, transfer it to special containers and then place it inside the storage compartment as soon as possible. If a packing shows signs of moisture and abnormal swelling, it has probably been stored at the wrong temperature and the contents have been spoiled. 9 GB Caring for your appliance Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug orturning off the general switch in your home). Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed up the defrosting process, unless they have been recommended by the manufacturer. The frost should be removed from the walls of the appliance periodically. Never use sharp metal objects to remove frost because they could pierce the cooling circuit and damage the freezer beyong repair. To defrost the appliance completely (this should be done once or twice a year), turn off the green light and leave the door open until the frost has completely thawed. A defrost water collection system is situated at the bottom of this appliance “D” as shown in figure 1. To speed up defrosting, place one or more basins of warm water inside the appliance. [. . . ] check that: · The appliance is perfectly level; · The appliance has been installed between cabinets or other items that vibrate or are noisy. ⷠRemember that the refrigerating gas in the cooling circuit causes a slight bubbling sound, even when the compressor is not running (this is quite normal). red Light always On Check that: · The door is shut properly and that the door seals are not damaged; · The thermostat temperature knob is on the correct setting; · There is not too much frost on the inside walls. compressor operates continuously Check that: · The yellow light is not on (continuous operating function); · The thermostat is in the correct position.
