[. . . ] Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean. Maintenance Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation. Warning This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians. Defrosting Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the refrigerator. Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increases, it needs more energy, at a certain thickness it does not allow the door of the frozen food compartment to open, possibly the door can be broken. At this type of appliance defrosting fresh food compartment is automatic without any external intervention. The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of compressor at regular intervals for more or less time - during this cooling is interrupted temperature of the fresh food compartment increases and defrosting occurs. After defrosting the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system. Melting water flows through defrost water outlet into the evaporative tray maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates due to warmth of it. Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming during defrosting regularly. If it is clogged the melting water gathered can cause earlier failure as it can go to the insulating of the appliance. Hints for refrigeration Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator and do cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong smell. To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some useful hints: Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad compartment, this being the coldest spot in the refrigerator. Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most. : these should be well covered and can be stored on any of the glass shelves. Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer/s. Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as possible. Milk bottles: these should have a top and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator. Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe scraper that can be seen in the figure. 26 GB The most typical case of clogging up in the defrost water outlet when you put food wrapped in some paper into the appliance and this paper contacts back plate of fresh food compartment and freezes to it. If you remove the food right at this moment the paper will tear and it can cause clogging up in the outlet by getting into it. [. . . ] Climate classification SN N ST T for an ambient temperature of +10 to +32 °C +16 to +32 °C +16 to +38 °C +16 to +43 °C Electrical connection Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the serial number plate correspond to your domestic power supply. For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized auto-transformer must be used. The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact for this purpose. Connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance with current regulations, consulting a specialist technician. [. . . ]
