[. . . ] Electrical connections After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following: • The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law. • The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e. • The voltage must be in the range between the values indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side (e. [. . . ] The SUPER COOL function is linked to the refrigerator compartment and when the latter is switched off, no action whatsoever will be possible on the former, other functions foresee an operation that can create conflicts (for example, when the HOLIDAY and SUPER FREEZE functions are enabled simultaneously), in this case a preset priority is taken into consideration in order to help you operate the appliance. To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not necessary to switch the appliance off. The appliance has a function which allows it to maintain the temperature of the refrigerator compartment at approximately 15°C (which can also be used to conserve make-up and beauty products). The freezer temperature must be set to the minimum value in order to preserve the food. Using the refrigerator to its full potential • Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature (see Description). For example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge, the internal temperature will rise slightly. The function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level. • Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips). They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form. Once you have bought your food, remove all external packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your refrigerator. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact between them, thereby removing both the possibility of germ/bacteria contamination as well as the diffusion of strong odours inside the fridge. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before switching the appliance on again. Remember that the motor will not start immediately, but rather after approximately 8 minutes. Until the ideal storage conditions have been restored, before placing food in the freezer compartment. 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. Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours • The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly. • If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open. Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost the appliance as these may damage the refrigeration circuit beyond repair. 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. Replacing the light bulb To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical socket. [. . . ] 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. [. . . ]
