[. . . ] Assistenza Attiva 7 giorni su 7 Assistance Before calling for Assistance: • Check if the malfunction can be solved on your own (see Troubleshooting). € If after all the checks, the appliance still does not operate or the problem persists, call the nearest Service Centre Communicating: • type of malfunction • appliance model (Mod. ) • serial number (S/N) This information can be found on the data plate located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment. Never call on unauthorized technicians and always refuse spare parts which are not originals. [. . . ] Do not worry, the refrigerator is functioning normally. If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set on high values with large quantities of food and with a high ambient temperature, the appliance can operate continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and excessive energy consumption: compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will occur automatically). In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. The food should be stored as follows: 19 GB Food Fresh fish and meat Fresh cheese Cooked food Salami, loaves of bread, chocolate Fruit and vegetables Eggs Butter and margarine Bottles, drinks, milk Arrangement inside the refrigerator Above the fruit and vegetable bins Above the fruit and vegetable bins On any shelf On any shelf In the fruit and vegetable compartment bins On the shelf provided On the shelf provided On the shelves provided PURE WIND * It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram). B A B A B • Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips). € Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods. • Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form. Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf. Pure Wind maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of the evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature inside the refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has been opened. The blown air (A) is cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall, whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram). Cleaning the appliance • The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. € The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance. Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours TEMPERATURE Indicator light: to identify the coldest area in the refrigerator. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram). € The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly. € If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature is too high: adjust the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a higher position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature has been stabilised. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following the initial process. [. . . ] € The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far enough to make contact, or there is no power in the house. • The TEMPERATURE CONTROL Knob is on OFF setting. € The door do not close properly or the seals are damaged. € The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position • The refrigerator have been over-filled.
