They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. Electrical connections After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains. [. . . ] Fresh food must be stored above the grill in the freezer compartment and if possible be in direct contact with the walls (side and rear), where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing. • 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) !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. Fast Freeze switch The appliance is fitted with a manual "Fast Freezer" switch. To set "Fast Freeze" ON, press the switch to "I" This switch activates intensive cooling to ensure that required temperatures are reached Fast Freeze Switch quickly. So when the fresh food is frozen return the switch to its OFF position, "0". Note: for Energy Saving ensure that "Fast Freeze" is switched off after 24 hours. For the refrigerator to operate properly the "Fast Freeze" button must be ON when room temperature is 16°C or lower. GB 7 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 (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily. To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the diagram. Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power range indicated on the cover (15W or 25W). 8 Precautions and tips !The appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully. 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. 05. 89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent amendments; - 2002/96/CE. . Disposal • Observe local environmental standards when disposing packaging material for recycling purposes. • The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers may take their old appliance to public waste collection areas, other communal collection areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a retailer when purchasing a similar new product. All major household appliance manufacturers are active in the creation of systems to manage the collection and disposal of old appliances. GB General safety • The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use. • The appliance must be used to store and freeze food products by adults only and according to the instructions in this manual. [. . . ] • 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 appliance makes a lot of noise. Some of the external parts of the refrigerator become hot. The back wall of the refrigerator unit is covered in frost or droplets of water. Icing water at rear of the Fridge • This shows the appliance is operating normally. • The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance). • Make sure that the “Fast Freeze switch” (see pag 7 for details) is NOT in the ‘ON’ position, this will cause 100% run. If switch is not in ON position and severe icing persists, set temperature regulating knob (see pag 5 for details) to lower position. [. . . ]
