[. . . ] Dear Customer, Before using the appliance, read the following instructions carefully and keep this manual for future reference. The appliance must only be used by persons familiar with these instructions. Connection to the mains supply The appliance should only be connected to an earthed socket installed in accordance with the regulations. Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on the rating label. [. . . ] Temperature control The unit is re-activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only switched off completely when the plug is removed from the wall socket. The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be adjusted by setting the temperature control. Turning the control clockwise will decrease the temperature, while turning it anti-clockwise will increase it. We recommend using a thermometer to check the actual temperature inside the cabinet and make adjustments as necessary. Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes before it switches on again. In position `0', the cooling function is switched off, though the appliance is still connected to the mains. Interior lighting Changing the light bulb: Remove the plug from the wall socket. Use a suitable tool to release the locking tab (5) and Remove the lamp cover (4). Freezer compartment door To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the door to the freezer compartment should be kept closed at all times. Ensure, therefore, that the door is only opened briefly to place food in the freezer compartment or to remove it. Freezing and storing food The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and freezer compartment depend mainly on the ambient temperature, the temperature control setting and the amount of food stored. freezer compartment: The freezer compartment is designed for deep-freezing And long-term storage of frozen food, and for making ice cubes. To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen right through as quickly as possible. To that effect, the prepared food should be placed into the freezer compartments, properly spaced in one or two rows. Caution: Do not exceed the maximum freezing The product data sheet at the end of this manual contains details of the maximum daily freezing capacity. Set the temperature control to Max to accelerate the freezing process. After 24 hours, once the food is well frozen, the temperature control can be set back to its original position. The time required to freeze food may be shortened by dividing it into smaller portions. The packaging materials should be well aired before use; check that the package is airtight before freezing the food. We strongly recommend that you label every item stored in the freezer with all relevant information such as type of food, freezing date and use-by date. This way, the food is defrosted at a slower rate, retaining its taste. [. . . ] The following table lists possible malfunctions and their probable causes and solutions. In the event of operational problems, check first whether a solution can be found using this table. If the problem persists, disconnect the appliance from the mains power and contact our Customer Service Department. This can be checked By connecting another electrical device to the socket and checking for function. [. . . ]
