[. . . ] This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even in an area protected by a roof. It is extremely dangerous to leave it exposed to rain or storms. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refrigerate and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use contained in this manual. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet or with wet hands or feet. [. . . ] Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will deteriorate quite quickly. Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer than fresh food. The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is fitted with practical removable shelves (Fig. 1) whose height can be adjusted to allow storage of large containers. This shelves can also be tilted for storage of opened bottles. 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. Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in the refrigerator. To use the cold cuts/cheese box, unhook it and remove it from the shelf.

Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze. WARNING: to avoid blocking the air circulation inside the refrigerator, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers. 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). To remove the ice trays from their housings, push the tray upwards and then pull it out (fig. To put the tray back in place, insert the top part into the special housing and, once in a vertical position, just let it drop into place. 4) Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed it: inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes. If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray and re-fill it with water. Once you have filled the ice tray up with water through the hole indicated, turn it by 90 °. [. . . ] Dust may deposit on the back panel and affect the proper running of the appliance.
