[. . . ] Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal, remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent children who might play in or around the appliance from being locked inside. Before calling for service/assistance in the case of malfunction, consult the chapter entitled “Is There a Problem?To determine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem. Do not try to repair the problem by trying to access the internal components of the appliance.

Use these average temperature settings to ensure optimum performance and to save energy. Before storing food in your refrigerator wipe the interior with a solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda. After having plugged the appliance into the socket, make sure that the refrigerator light has turned on. Then turn the thermostat knob “A” to setting “3”. After a couple of hours, you can place fresh food into the refrigerator. Once you have bought your food, remove all external packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your refrigerator. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact between them, thereby removing both the possibility of germ/bacteria contamination as well as the diffusion of strong odours inside the fridge. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate freely between different items. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to use oxidiser or abrasive products. Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator. What Not to Store in the Refrigerator Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks. Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places). GB 4 Energy Saving Tips - Install the Appliance Correctly This means that the appliance should be installed away from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room. tHE ACTUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE APPLIANCE DEPENDS ON THE WAY THE SAME IS USED AND ON ITS LOCATION. The consumption tests were performed in 560mm deep column units, the most common installation setting for this appliance. - Keep the Door Closed Open the refrigerator only when necessary; remember that every time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. To bring the temperature back to the proper level, the motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consuming a substantial amount of energy. - Check the Seal on the Door Keep the seal clean and soft so that it fits tightly against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost. - Correct Temperature Settings Set the refrigerator temperature knob to one of the middle settings. Very cold temperature settings will not only consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively cold temperatures may ruin vegetables, cold cuts and cheese. [. . . ] Have you checked whether: • The main switch for the electricity to the apartment or home has been turned off; If after all the checks, the appliance still does not operate or the problem persists, call the nearest Service Centre and inform them of: the type of problem, the abbreviation of the model name (Mod. ) and the relative numbers (S/N) written on the rating plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper (see example in the figure below). The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool properly. Have you checked whether: • The door do not close well or the seal are faulty; • The door are left open too long; • The thermostat knob is not on the proper setting; • The refrigerator or freezer is overfilled.
