SAFETY INFORMATION Before the installation and use of the appliance, carefully read the supplied instructions. The manufacturer is not responsible for any injuries or damages that are the result of incorrect installation or usage. Always keep the instructions in a safe and accessible location for future reference. [. . . ] Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation. In this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. Fan function The Fan function lets the food cool quickly and keeps more uniform temperature in the compartment. Switch on the Fan when the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C. Storage of frozen food When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings. In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooling). A B Thawing Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer. When you switch off the appliance remember to turn off the fan by pressing the button (A). 7 Ice-cube production This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and treating before freezing. Frozen Food Calendar HINTS AND TIPS Normal operating sounds The following sounds are normal during operation: • A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped. €¢ A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped. €¢ A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon). €¢ A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off. Hints for fresh food refrigeration To obtain the best performance: • do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator • do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour • position food so that air can circulate freely around it Hints for refrigeration Useful hints: • Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. €¢ Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf. €¢ Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if not packed. €¢ Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible. €¢ Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack. [. . . ] Make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used. A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Do a final check to make sure that: • All screws are tightened. [. . . ]
