[. . . ] Do not try to repair the problem by trying to access the internal components of the appliance. If damaged, the power supply cord on this appliance must necessarily be replaced by our service centre because special tools are required for replacement. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment for food storage, if these are not those recommended by the manufacturer. At the end of the functional life of your appliance – containing cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam and perhaps gas R600a (isobutane) in the refrigeration circuit – the latter should made safe before being sent to the dump. [. . . ] After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the vertical upright position and wait at least 3 hours before inserting the plug into the socket in order to ensure that it functions properly. Electrical Connection and Earthing Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located at the 9 GB A closer look A A Thermostat knob for regulating the temperature Use this knob to regulate the temperature of the refrigerator. The following settings are available: The refrigerator is off; 1 less cold; 5 colder I J Removable height adjustable shelves Compartment for storing frozen foods, freezing fresh foods and making ice B C D E F G H Removable door shelves with lid, with egg tray and lidded butter dish A Removable miscellaneous shelf J Compartment for a 2 litre bottle Removable door shelf for bottles B C I Fruit and vegetable drawer Meat/cheese storage box C H G F D E Drain for defrost w ater How to Start the Appliance NOTICE After the appliance has been delivered, stand it in the upright position and wait approximately 3 hours before connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee that it operates properly. Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and baking soda. After putting the plug in the socket, make sure that the light is on inside the appliance and then turn the thermostat knob (A) to the “3” setting. After a few hours have passed, you can place fresh food in the refrigerator compartment and frozen foods into the freezer. The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance 1 = less cold 5 = colder It is recommended that a medium setting be used. To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator compartment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on whether the compressor is operating or not at a given time. If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient temperature high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically. - Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze. - If the ambient temperature remains below 14°C for an extended period of time, the temperature needed for extended storage of food in the freezer will not be reached, resulting in reduced storage life of the food. Tips on Saving Energy - Install the Appliance Correctly This means that the appliance should be installed away from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room. - Use the Right Temperature Setting A setting which is too cold increases energy consumption. - Do not Overfill To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously. - Close the Doors Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the temperature to the proper level again, the motor must work for a long time, consuming energy. - Keep an Eye on the Seals Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to the door. - No Hot Foods A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the refrigerator. [. . . ] - Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge soaked with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent. - What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach or detergents containing ammonia. - Dishwashable: All the removable parts can be cleaned by soaking in hot soapy water or detergent.
