Before contacting your local Service Centre, check the following points: Door reversal 1. Disconnect from the electricity supply; 2. Remove all loose items, including food, store food in a cool place; 3. Gently lay the fridge/freezer on its back with the top held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of packing; 4. Slide out the fridge door from middle hinge (H) and remove the latter. Slide out the freezer door from pin (G), unscrew the latter and then screw it down into the hinge provided on the opposite side, after having removed the small plugs (I) which should then be fitted on the opposite side. Refit the freezer door and the middle hinge on the opposite side. Never use metal tools for this operation. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out. For complete defrosting (once or twice a year) proceed as follows: - Turn the thermostat dial to the ÇOFFÈ position (O) or disconnect the appliance from the mains. - Remove any food from inside the freezer and fridge, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool, dry place. - Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset the thermostat to a functioning position. - After letting the appliance run for a least half an hour, replace the previously removed food into the compartment. Starting-up and temperature regulation Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob, to be found on the upper right side of the inner liner, clockwise, from the ÇOÈ position, to start the appliance. Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the thermostat knob to the required setting. A medium setting of between 2-4 is generally the most suitable. However, the thermostat knob setting should be adjusted depending on the temperature required inside the appliance. This, in turn, depends on a number of factors such as the ambient temperature, the number of times the door is opened, the quantity of food stored and the location of the appliance. [. . . ] The size of each pack should be small enough to ensure that it is used in one go . Small packs freeze more quickly and uniformly and give better results. Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen. Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time. [. . . ]
