[. . . ] Vano CONSERVAZIONE Overall view The instructions contained in this manual are applicable to different model refrigerators. Before placing your new appliance into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. Before starting the appliance, follow the installation instructions (see Installation). [. . . ] Place the food you wish to freeze in the top compartment, making sure it does not come into contact with any items which are already frozen. After 24 hours, once the freezing process is complete, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated). € Placing large amounts of fresh food in the freezer may temporarily increase the temperature inside the appliance (this is indicated when the RED indicator light illuminates). This situation, as it is only temporary, does not adversely affect the storage conditions of food that is already frozen. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. When this red light comes on for a prolonged period of time, it means that the freezer is not functioning properly and the temperature is rising too much. (Call your Service Centre) This warning light might come on for a brief period when: a) the door is left open for an extended period of time (when the freezer is being loaded or unloaded). B) when the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is set to the Super position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated). In these two cases, the fact that the warning light comes on does not indicate that the freezer is malfunctioning or there is a defect. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly. € If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open. This appliance complies with the following Community Directives: - 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments; -89/336/EEC of 03.

[. . . ] If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. The previous day, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the Super position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated) in order to cool the food down even more. 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. [. . . ]
