User manual SINGER 46K27

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator compartment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on whether the compressor is operating or not at a given time. the refrigerator is operating normally. If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient temperature high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to an increase in energy consumption. To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically. Storing Food in the Refrigerator Compartment Food Wrapped meat and cleaned fish (use plastic wrap or pack in plastic bags) Fresh cheese Eggs Butter, margarine Cooked or precooked food (placer in air-tight containers and in refrigerator) when cool store 3 or 4 days Storage Time 2 or 3 days 3 or 4 days 1 month Location in the Refrigerator On the shelf above the vegetable crisper (which is the coldest area).

What Not to Store in the Refrigerator Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks. Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places). - Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze. - Fill the ice cube trays about 3/4 full. - If the ambient temperature remains below 14°C for an extended period of time, the temperature needed for extended storage of food in the freezer will not be reached, resulting in reduced storage life of the food. Tips on Saving Energy - Install the Appliance Correctly This means that the appliance should be installed away from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room. - Use the Right Temperature Setting A setting which is too cold increases energy consumption. - Do not Overfill To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously. - Close the Doors Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the temperature to the proper level again, the motor must work for a long time, consuming energy. - Keep an Eye on the Seals Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes. [. . . ] Then wrap all the frozen and fast-frozen food in newspaper, placing it either in the refrigerator or in a cool place. Leave the freezer door open so that the frost thaws completely. You can speed this process by placing containers of warm water in the compartment. Have you checked whether: • The main switch for the electricity to the apartment or home has been turned off; • The plug is properly inserted in the outlet; • The outlet is adequate; try inserting the plug into another outlet in the room.
