[. . . ] With these, the refrigerant circuit can be damaged, the spill from which can cause a fire or damage your eyes. Do not install the appliance in humid, oily or dusty places, nor expose it to direct sunlight and to water. Do not excessively pull or fold the power cord or touch the plug with wet hands. Do not damage the plug and/or the power cord; this could cause electrical shocks or fires. [. . . ] The cord must be checked regularly and replaced solely by authorized technicians. The manufacturer declines any liability whenever these safety measures are not respected. appliance start-up Remove all wrapping/packaging present inside the appliance and clean with water and baking soda or neutral soap. After the installation, wait 2 - 3 hours to allow time for the refrigerator/ freezer to stabilize at normal working temperature, before placing fresh or frozen foods inside. If the power cord becomes disconnected, wait at least five minutes before restarting the refrigerator/ freezer. The temperature adjustment of both compartments is effected by rotating the thermostat knob (Fig. For temperature less cold in the refrigerator and in the freezer, by rotating in the direction of OFF. Conditions Summer or ambient temperature between 25-35 °C Spring, autumn or ambient temperature between 15-25 °C Winter, or ambient temperature between 5-15 °C After shipping, place the appliance vertically and wait at least 2 - 3 hours before connecting it to the electrical system. Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that: For better energy savings, we suggest: · Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a well ventilated room. Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature and therefore causing continuous functioning of the compressor. Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation. Defrost the appliance in case there is ice (see DEFROSTING) to facilitate the transfer of cold. Ln case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed. Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible · Avoid adjusting the thermostat to temperatures too cold. aVOIDING NOISES During its operation, the refrigerator emits some absolutely normal noises, such as: · RUMBLINGS, RUSTLINGS and HISSING, the refrigerant is flowing through the tubes. Small measures to r ed uce the vibration nois es: · Containers touch each other: Avoid contact between containers and glass recipients. NOTE: The refrigerant gas produces noise even when the compressor is off; it is not a defect, it is normal. If you hear a clicking sound inside the appliance, it is normal as due to expansion of the various materials. Before each operation, remove the refrigerator plug from the power socket to prevent electric shocks. Do not pour water directly on the outside or inside of the refrigerator itself. This could lead to oxidation and damaging of the electrical insulation. The most energy-saving configuration requires drawers, food box and shelves to be positioned in the product, please refer to the above pictures Use the table below for the compartments Freezing process can only occur in the compartments When the layer of frost present in the freezer compartment exceeds 3mm, it is recommended to proceed with the defrosting as it increases energy consumption. [. . . ] For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference temperatures of the compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18° POSITIONING Install the appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance: - Extended temperate (SN): `this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C' - Temperate (N): `this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C' - Subtropical (ST): `this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C' - Tropical (T): `this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C' AVAILABILITY OF SPARE PARTS "Thermostats, temperature sensors, printed circuit boards and light sources are available for a minimum period of seven years after placing the last unit of the model on the market.
