[. . . ] The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed. POWER Indicator light REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob SUPER COOL Indicator light SUPER FREEZE Indicator light FREEZER OPERATION Knob When it is pressed, the SUPER COOL indicator light illuminates (see Start-up and use). SUPER COOL Yellow indicator light (rapid cooling) illuminates when the SUPER COOL button is pressed. POWER Indicator light illuminates when the appliance is connected to the electricity network. [. . . ] Pure Wind maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of the evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature inside the refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has been opened. The blown air (A) is cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall, whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram). The back wall may be covered in frost or droplets of water, depending on whether the compressor is in operation or whether it is paused. Using the freezer to its full potential use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature (see Description). Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing. Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break. The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4). To freeze (if the freezer is already operating): - for small quantities which are less than those indicated on the data plate, press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button (corresponding yellow indicator light illuminates), insert the food and close the door. The function is disabled automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures have been reached (indicator light goes out); - for large quantities which are greater than the maximum load indicated on the data plate, hold down the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button until the corresponding indicator light begins to flash. Defrosting the freezer compartment If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. The day before defrosting, press the SUPER FREEZE button (the yellow SUPER FREEZE indicator light illuminates) to further cool the food. The function is automatically disabled after 24 hours, or it may be disabled at any moment by pressing the SUPER FREEZE button again. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place. This can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water in the freezer compartment. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to lead the water outside: let the water flow into a container (see diagram). Replacing the light bulb To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the diagram. Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power range indicated on the cover (15W or 25W). Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before switching the appliance on again. Until the ideal storage conditions have been restored, before placing food in the freezer compartment. [. . . ] 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. The PURE WIND system is only activated automatically when it becomes necessary to restore perfect operational conditions inside the refrigerator compartment. The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (see Installation). [. . . ]
