User manual HOTPOINT ENXTM 18322 X F

[. . . ] The compressor and condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to operate correctly and save energy. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm between the sides and any furniture/side walls. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc. In order to maintain the correct distance between the appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in the installation kit, following the instructions provided. [. . . ] This compartment is also suitable to defrost foods in a healthy way, because the defrosting process at low temperatures inhibits the micro organisms proliferation. The 0°C can be obtained in normal conditions and when the fridge compartment is set to 4° and the freezer is set to -18° C. When you decrease the fridge temperature you also decrease the temperature of the “FOOD CARE ZONE 0°C” compartment . The temperature inside the freezer compartment automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the FREEZER OPERATION Knob. € 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. € 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) !This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers. Using the refrigerator to its full potential • Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never hot foods (see Precautions and tips). € Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form. SHELVES: Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Maintenance and care Switching the appliance off TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in the refrigerator. During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: 1. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature has been stabilised. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher setting. € 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 appliance has not been installed on a level surface (see Installation). € The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate and make noise. € The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor is off. € These raised temperatures are necessary in order to avoid the formation of condensation on certain parts of the product.
