[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] 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.

GB 26 - Within the refrigerator compartment, the air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling because it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses should be placed above the vegetable crisper. Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will deteriorate quite quickly. - In order to obtain a larger amount of space in the freezer compartment, you can remove the central drawer, and place the food directly onto the evaporator plate. Make sure that, after having inserted the load, the door closes correctly. To maximize the freezer volume, it is possible to remove the drawers (except the lowest one), and to arrange the food directly on top of the evaporating plates. Ensure that the door is properly closed after putting food in the freezer. - 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.

To remove the ice trays from their housings, push the tray upwards and then pull it out (fig.
