ATTENTION Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of your appliance. Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards (EN60) and has been awarded the European approval mark (IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements. [. . . ] - Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum storage time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible for any extended amount of time. - Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store any longer than raw food. - Do not place liquids in containers without covering them because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost. - Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the compressor to work harder and use more energy. - Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food or other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of the back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, increase energy consumption and facilitate the formation of condensate (on food, containers, etc. 1) which can be adjusted for height using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even large containers and foodstuffs in the refrigerator. 1 Freezing Foods Properly - For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult a specialized manual. - Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be refrozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours) or to freeze it once again. - Fresh foods that you intend to freeze must not be placed in contact with those that are already frozen or those that have been fast-frozen. Rather, they must placed atop the grate in the freezer compartment, in contact with the walls of the compartment (back or side) if possible. Please keep in mind that proper conservation of frozen foods depends on the speed with which they are frozen. - During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer. - The maximum daily quantity of food that can be frozen is indicated on the rating plate located to the left of the vegetable crisper. - In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recommended that you divide food into small portions so that they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be clearly marked with the content and the date they were frozen. - Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in temperature within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for approximately 9-14 hours. - Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze. - Fill the ice cube trays about 3/4 full. [. . . ] Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed up the defrosting process, unless they have been recommended by the manufacturer. How to Defrost the Refrigerator This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is channeled to the back toward the drain installed for this purpose (fig. Here, the heat produced by the compressor will make it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to periodically check and clean the hole of the drain, which is located behind the vegetable crispers, so that the water drains properly. [. . . ]
