Installation in an area exposed to direct sunlight or in proximity to heat sources will increase power consumption and should therefore be avoided. For built-in appliances, ensure air vents are not obstructed (see section "Maintenance and Cleaning"). For free-standing appliances, remove dust from the condenser at the back of the appliance at least once a year (see section "Maintenance and Cleaning"). Limit the number of times the refrigerator and freezer compartment doors are opened. Defrost the appliance at least twice a year. · · · PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS · Use the refrigerator compartment only for storing fresh food and beverages and use the freezer compartment only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes. Do not store liquids in glass containers in the freezer compartment - danger of bursting. Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer compartment - risk of "cold" burns. Do not allow children to play or hide inside the appliance - risk of becoming entrapped and suffocating. · Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or special freezer containers. · Arrange the fresh food in the top compartment, leaving enough space for air to circulate around packs. The lower grille (if supplied) can be removed to increase the capacity of the compartment. · When putting food in to freeze, turn the thermostat control knob down half a position (e. g: from 3 to 2. 5). · The food will be completely frozen in 24 hours; the thermostat control knob can then be returned to the previous position (e. g from 2. 5 to 3). · The amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours, at an ambient temperature of +25°C, is indicated on the rating plate. Important: The table alongside shows the recommended maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods. Making ice cubes · · Pour water into the ice tray up to 2/3 full and place it in the freezer compartment Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if it is stuck to the freezer bottom. Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes. · . MONTHS FOOD 15 HOW TO DEFROST THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic. · Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress. The defrost water is routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates. Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the tool supplied with the appliance. [. . . ] The amount and speed at which the ice forms depends on ambient conditions and the frequency with which the door is opened. Ice formation is concentrated at the top of the compartment and does not affect the efficiency of the appliance. · Remove the food from the freezer compartment wrap in newspaper and store together in a cool place or in a portable cooler. Leave the compartment door open to allow the ice on the walls to melt. [. . . ]
