[. . . ] In order to maintain the correct distance between the appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in the installation kit, following the instructions provided. Levelling 1. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by tightening or loosening the rear feet. 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. Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following: The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law. The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e. g. [. . . ] Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf. GB 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 1 2 Butter and margarine On the shelf provided Bottles, drinks, milk On the shelf provided 5 GB Using the freezer to its full potential Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment 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) In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the evaporator plates. Defrosting the refrigerator compartment 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. 1 1 2 7 Precautions and tips GB !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.
