They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. [. . . ] 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: )RRG Fresh fish and meat Fresh cheese Cooked food Salami, bread loaf, chocolate Fruit and vegetables Eggs $UUDQJHPHQW LQVLGH WKH UHIULJHUDWRU Above the fruit and vegetable bins Above the fruit and vegetable bins On any shelf On any shelf In the fruit and vegetable bins On the shelf provided Using the refrigerator to its full potential · Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to adjust the temperature (see Description). · 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. Butter and margarine On the shelf provided Bottles, drinks, milk On the shelf provided 5 GB Using the freezer to its full potential · Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours). · Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing. · Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break. · The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4) Ice3 ice tray The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers ensures greater 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). 1. Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray). Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each mould fills with water (see diagram). Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding housing and allowing it to drop in again. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out through the opening. !If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced. MAX WATER LEVEL WATER LEVEL MAX WATER LEVEL MAX 6 Maintenance and care Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact. Defrosting the freezer compartment Remove frost regularly using the special scraper provided. [. . . ] · Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will work continuously. · Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The internal temperature will increase and force the compressor to work harder and will consume more energy. [. . . ]
