Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. [. . . ] Best performance is obtained with ambient temperature between +18°C and +43°C (class T); +18°C and +38°C (class ST); +16°C and +32°C (class N); +10°C and +32°C (class SN). The class of your appliance is shown on its rating plate. Make sure that there is nothing hindering air circulation at the back, bottom, or top of the appliance. To achieve the best performance when the appliance is set under a wall cabinet, the top of the appliance should be at least 15 mm away from the base of the wall cabinet (A). However, the appliance should ideally not be installed underneath wall cabinets (as shown in B). Fig. 1 15mm This appliance complies with the following E. E. C. Directives: - 73/23 EEC of 19. 2. 73 (Low Voltage Directive) and subsequent modifications; - 89/336 EEC of 3. 5. 89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive) and subsequent modifications.

This is to be found in the refrigerator compartment on the bottom left-hand side. To help you to get the best out of the freezing process, here are a few hints: Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned foods. Split them into small portions to speed up freezing and avoid having to thaw more food than you require. It is in fact important to remember that once the foods have thawed out, they deteriorate fast. Another point to remember is that lean foods keep better and longer than fatty foods. Salt too reduces storage time. Quick-freezing Turn knob «E» to position «SUPER». The pilot light «B» will then light up. Warning light «C» This light warns when the temperature inside the freezer compartment has increased so much as to jeopardize the preservation of food in the compartment. When the appliance is switched on for the first time or when food is placed in the compartment for freezing, this light remains on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage. 6 Wrap the foods in foil or polythene film, ensuring that the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well sealed. In this way, by avoiding contact with air, the colour, flavour and nutritional value of the foods remain intact. You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity of foods than the maximum indicated on the appliance's rating plate. During the freezing process, do not add further foods for freezing and do not open the freezer door. [. . . ] In addition, foods should be positioned inside the refrigerator compartment as indicated in Figure 6: 1. In this position, fresh meat can be stored for 1-2 days at most.
