User manual SINGER 451K5

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] Motor protection delay This model is provided with a motor protection control system. Therefore, if the compressor does not start immediately upon installation, do not worry as it will start automatically after approximately 8 minutes. This is also what will happen every time the power supply is interrupted, both due to a power failure or should you switch it off yourself (to clean or defrost your freezer, for example). How to use the refrigerator compartment. The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance 1 = less cold 5 = colder When the fridge compartment is filled up after a heavy shopping spree, use the Quick Cool function (press button "A" to enable it) in order to reach optimum operating conditions quickly. Once the necessary time has elapsed, the function is disabled automatically. 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. Make sure that, after having inserted the load, the door closes correctly. 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. 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. [. . . ] - Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic odourless materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the formation of odours that are difficult to remove. - Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge soaked with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent. [. . . ]
