[. . . ] ⷠIf you are discarding the appliance pull the plug out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as close to the appliance as you can) and remove the door to prevent playing children to suffer electric shock or to close themselves into it. ⷠIf this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to replace an older appliance having a spring lock (latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make that spring lock unusable before you discard the old appliance. ⷠThe appliance is intended for keeping foodstuff and/or beverages in a normal household as explained in this instruction booklet. ⷠDo not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process. [. . . ] For a correct storage of the food the following temperature should be set: · -18 °C in the freezer. The following DESIRED temperature settings are possible: Operating mode "Freezing": from -15 °C up to -24 °C in 1 °C steps Operation mode "Cooling": from 0 °C up to 16 °C in 1 °C steps; When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place. As the storage temperature within the appliance is reached quickly you can store food immediately after switching on. If necessary, switch over the appliance between the operating modes "Freezing" and "Cooling". When the setting is switched from "Freezing" to "Cooling" FC (Freezing - Cooling) appears in the temperature indicator, an acoustic signal confirms the change and the temperature indicator changes to flashing figures (DESIRED temperature cooling mode +5 °C). Using the temperature regulators, the required temperature for the cooling mode can now be entered. When the setting is switched from "Cooling" to "Freezing" CF (Cooling - Freezing) appears in the temperature indicator, an acoustic signal confirms the change and the temperature indicator changes to flashing figures (DESIRED temperature freezing mode -18 °C). Using the temperature regulators, the required temperature for the freezing mode can now be entered. The operation mode, in which your appliance is at the moment, is identifiable if the temperatures can be set above or below 0 °C. If you are using the appliance as a freezing unit, wait to add the food to be frozen, until the interior temperature has attained -18 °C. If you are using this appliance as a cooling unit, after it has been used as a freezing unit wait until the temperature has reached 0 °C before add the food to be cooled in the appliance. By selecting the DESIRED temperature in the range of +5 °C, this appliance can be used as a normal refrigerator. By selecting the DESIRED Temperature up to +16 °C, the appliance can perfectly be used as a cooling unit for drinks. The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming. An increase in the temperature in the freezer (for example due to an earlier power failure or door is open) is indicated by: · When normal conditions are restored: · Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brandnew product, then dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish. The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deepfrozen food for a long time. To freeze fresh food activate the FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment. The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate , a label located on the inside of the appliance. The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen. 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 refrozen (after cooling). [. . . ] Before carrying out any operations, remove the plug from the power socket. To carry out the following operations, we suggest that this be made with another person that will keep a firm hold on the door of the appliance during the operations. Take from the accessory bag the two plugs and cover the holes left open after having removed the handle. Make sure that the front board of the door is parallel to the front board of the top. [. . . ]
