[. . . ] Fridge/freezer combined Installation and use MBA 3842 C (UK) GB Fridge/freezer combined Instructions for installation and use To maintain the EFFICIENCY and SAFETY of this appliance, we recommend: - use only the MANUFACTURER Service - use only ORIGINAL Spare Parts Safety - a good habit to get into. 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. It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimination of radio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02. 06. 89). This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even in an area protected by a roof. [. . . ] 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. When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment "J" where the temperature will fall below -18C, which is ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper conservation depends on the speed of freezing. The maximum amount of food you can freeze per day is indicated on the data plate situated inside the refrigerator compartment. The first time, or after the freezer has been inactive, you can only freeze food after having let the appliance function at maximum. Food can be frozen by enabling the SUPER FREEZE 24 hour function (see the paragraph on "How to use the display"). After 24 hours, or once the optimal temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing function is automatically disabled. During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer. 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. Thanks to the special ICE PARTY function, you will no longer have to deal with the problem of finding broken bottles placed to cool inside the freezer compartment (all liquids, upon freezing, expand and increase in volume). By enabling this function, the appliance itself will let you know, by sounding a buzzer and by means of a visual signal (a message on the display in the form of scrolling text), when it is the best time to remove the bottle from the compartment. To turn the buzzer off and cancel the message from the display, just press the REST ALARM (C) button. Do not forget to use the ergonomic bucket provided to store the bottle inside the freezer compartment; as well as accelerating the cooling process of the same, once it is time to serve it at the table, you can take it there easily thanks to the special handles and keep it cool at length at the table. WARNING: always keep the bucket provided for the bottle inside the freezer compartment (even when you don't have bottles to cool); only this way can the low temperature of the liquid be guaranteed in a short amount of time. Remember that for optimal operation, the bucket with the bottle inside it should be stored in the top part "J" of the freezer compartment when the ICE PARTY function has been enabled. GB 8 Ice trays This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent. The fact that they are situated on the inner door of the freezer compartment ensures greater ergonomics and cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided). [. . . ] After 24 hours, the freezing function is automatically disabled but you can disable it yourself from the display. Turn the appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF (A) button for more than two seconds. WARNING: this operation switches off the whole appliance (including the fridge compartment). Wrap all frozen foods in newspaper and place them either in another refrigerator or in a cool place. [. . . ]
