[. . . ] WARNING: To avoid a shock hazard do not insert the discarded plug into a socket anywhere else. Positioning and connection Positioning 1. The compressor and condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to operate correctly and save energy. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc. ). [. . . ] Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips). They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form. Setting the temperature The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the thermostat knob. The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased space and improved aesthetics. During operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether the compressor is operating or paused. If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set on high values with large quantities of food and with a high ambient temperature, the appliance can operate continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and excessive energy consumption: compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will occur automatically). In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. The food should be stored as follows: )RRG Fresh fish and meat Fresh cheese Cooked food Salami, bread loaf, chocolate Fruit and vegetables Eggs $UUDQJHPHQW LQVLGH WKH UHIULJHUDWRU Above the fruit and vegetable bins Above the fruit and vegetable bins On any shelf On any shelf In the fruit and vegetable bins On the shelf provided Butter and margarine On the shelf provided Bottles, drinks, milk On the shelf provided 5 Maintenance and care GB 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. Replacing the light bulb 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). 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 removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully. 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. If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the door open. Defrosting the appliance !Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost the appliance as these may damage the refrigeration circuit beyond repair. The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge outlet (see diagram) where the heat produced by the compressor causes it to evaporate. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily. 6 Precautions and tips ! [. . . ] Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance. Under no circumstance should they be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang from the door. It can become a choking or suffocation hazard. Respecting and conserving the environment Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room. [. . . ]
