Before starting the appliance, follow the installation instructions (see Installation). Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the internal light illuminates. [. . . ] This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced. Butter and margarine On the shelf provided Bottles, drinks, milk On the shelf provided • Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips). 4 Maintenance and care Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact. Defrosting the refrigerator compartment The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge outlet (see diagram) where the heat produced by the compressor causes it to evaporate. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily. GB Cleaning the appliance • The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. • The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance. Defrosting the freezer compartment If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place. • Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or moist hands and feet. • Do not touch the internal cooling elements: cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns. This could Respecting and conserving the environment • Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not place it near heat sources. • Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy. • Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. The internal temperature will increase and force the compressor to work harder and will consume more energy. A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more difficult and results in increased energy consumption. • Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (see Maintenance). • When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable. • Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. [. . . ] • • • • • The door do not close properly or the seals are damaged. The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled. The atmospheric temperature of the area surrounding the appliance is lower than 14°C. • The food is in contact with the back inside wall of the refrigerator. [. . . ]
