[. . . ] Never pull the cable or the appliance to remove the plug from the socket; this is exceedingly dangerous. Do not touch the internal cooling elements, especially if your hands are wet, since you could burn or hurt yourself. Do not place ice cubes straight from the freezer into your mouth as this may result in burns. Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch in your home). [. . . ] Turn the "A" knob to the Super setting (the yellow "D" light will come on). When the red "B" light turns off, turn the "A" knob to one of the normal settings (3). At this point, the freezer is ready for use. Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance Tips on Freezing - Remember that you should never refreeze products you have allowed to thaw, even if only partially. Once thawed, cook the food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or refreeze it - Consult a specialized manual when packaging foods for freezing. - For the best storage and thawing, remember to freeze small portions. Mark package with a description of the contents and the date it was frozen. - Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data plate on the inside of the freezer. - Turn the "A" knob to the Super setting (the yellow "D" light will come on). - Place the fresh food that is being frozen into the top compartments (H), making sure not to place them near food that has already been frozen, but preferably in contact with the cooling surfaces. In fact, proper food storage depends on the speed at which the fresh food is frozen. For this reason, we suggest that the temperature knob be placed on the Super setting 24 hours before fresh food is placed in the appliance to be frozen. This operation is necessary for large quantities of food (up to the maximum capacity indicated on the data plate). - Placing substantial amounts of fresh food in the appliance may temporarily raise the temperature within the freezer (the red light will turn on). Since this is a temporary situation, it will not compromise the storage of the food that has already been frozen. - After 24 hours have passed and the fresh food has been frozen, turn the "A" knob back to one of the normal settings. Attention: Do not forget to change the temperature setting if you want to avoid useless wastes of energy. - In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 20 hours. - Do not place full bottles in the freezer because liquids increase in volume when they freeze and this could cause the bottles to burst. Storage For best storage of fresh-frozen and frozen foods, do not set the thermostat knob below 1, regardless of the ambient temperature of the room where the freezer is installed. For ambient temperatures of up to 25°-27°C, the thermostat knob should be set between 1 and 2, while for temperatures up to 32°C the setting should be between 2 and 3. Thanks to the connected compartments, the water fills up the special shapes, after which you can cover the hole up with the special cap and place the ice tray in the inner door of the freezer compartment. Once the ice has formed, all you need to do is to knock the tray against a hard surface so that the ice cubes come away from their housing and come out of the same hole used to fill the tray with water. To make it easier for the ice cubes to come out, wet the outside of the tray. [. . . ] After the inside has been cleaned, rinse well with clean water and dry carefully. Once the appliance has been cleaned, turn on the appliance, following the instructions in "Setting Up Your Appliance.
