[. . . ] • The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e. • The voltage must be in the range between the values indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side (e. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance). Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible. [. . . ] • 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). • In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the evaporator plates. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced. ICE CARE tray The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided). Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided. Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray). Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each mould fills with water (see diagram). When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out through the opening. MAX WATER LEVEL WATER LEVEL MAX WATER LEVEL MAX 16 Maintenance and care Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on OFF (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily. Defrosting the freezer compartment If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place. This can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water in the freezer compartment. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to lead the water outside: let the water flow into a container (see diagram). GB Cleaning the appliance • 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 back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance. Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours • The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly. [. . . ] • 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. The back wall of the refrigerator unit is covered in frost or droplets of water. 01 02/2008 - Xerox Business Services Before calling for Assistance: • Check if the malfunction can be solved on your own (see Troubleshooting).
