[. . . ] Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance. The compressor and condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to operate correctly and save energy. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm between the sides and any furniture/side walls. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc. [. . . ] The food should be stored as follows: removal of the shelf.

It can be removed and used at the breakfast table to serve the food that, thanks to the special design of the container, will maintain the correct temperature for longer. The lid can be used as a practical tray, simply by using the handles provided.

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 -18C 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 crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

The internal temperature will increase and force the compressor to work harder and will consume more energy. Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance). A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more difficult and results in increased energy consumption. [. . . ]
