[. . . ] USING THE APPLIANCE 6. 1 Switching the appliance on After connecting the device to the power supply, see section "9. 3 Electrical connection", adjust the thermostats as described above. When first turned on, the appliance must operate continuously for 24 hours before cooling to a suitable temperature. During this period do not open the door too often and do not place large amounts of food inside the appliance. When the appliance is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before restarting or plugging it in so as not to damage the compressor. Important Changes in climatic conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which fresh food is put into the compartments and the door is opened affect the appliance's operating temperatures. 6. 2 Arranging foods inside the refrigerator compartment Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping or cover. This precaution ensures that: - the flavour, moisture and freshness of the foods can be preserved; any contamination of foods with odours or tastes from other foods can be avoided. the humidity level inside the refrigerator is prevented from becoming too high as a result of the normal transpiration of food (especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In some operating conditions (rise in ambient temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the door) this might cause condensation to form on the shelves. Suitably prepare the meat and cleaned fish that will be consumed within 1-2 days(by enclosing them. in containers or wrapping them in plastic). Fruits and vegetables can be inserted into the appropriate compartment without being packed. Only use containers suitable for keeping food in. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool to room temperature before putting them in the compartment. To reduce moisture and the consequent increase of frost never put liquids in open containers inside the refrigerator. Do not keep explosive substances in the appliance and only keep drinks with a high alcohol content in it if they are properly closed and kept vertical. - 34 User instructions The NO-FROST system with which the appliance is equipped ensures a constant temperature and higher cooling power. The air which is fan-driven is free of humidity and quickly dries the food placed in the refrigerator compartment. This is another reason to make sure that the food placed in the refrigerator is sealed. The dry ventilation air chills the food more quickly; the NO FROST system ensures that the temperature is kept more constant 6. 2. 1 Special meat and fish storage compartment Place the food inside the refrigerator compartment as shown in the diagram Some delicate foods such as meat, fish and lightly frozen foods can be stored in the special super-cold drawer, in which the temperature is constantly kept at around 0°C. 35 User instructions 6. 3 Freezing of foods The freezer is used for the long-term storage of deep frozen or frozen foods for a long period of time and for the making of ice cubes. Use the shelf for quick freezing to freeze food prepared at home (and any other food requiring freezing) more quickly thanks to the increased freezing strength of the freezer compartment. To keep and freeze foods properly, you are advised to pack fruit and vegetables in portions of no more than 1 kg and meat and fish in portions of up to 2 kg. Smaller food packages freeze more quickly which means that the foods' nutritional and taste properties are preserved better, including after defrosting and preparation. Only use suitable freezer bags, tinfoil, cling-film for use with food, and freezer containers. Do not use paper bags, cellophane bags for non-food use and shopping bags or pre-used freezer bags. Package foods in hermetically sealed packages, attempting to ensure that all air is expelled. [. . . ] Ensure that it is not directly exposed to the sun's rays and do not place it outdoors. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate inside the refrigerator compartment), the appliance can be used in different temperature conditions: Class Room temperature N (Normal) from + 16°C to + 32°C SN (Subnormal) from + 10°C to + 32°C ST (Subtropical) from + 18°C to + 38°C T (Tropical) from + 18°C to + 43°C Never place the refrigerator close to heat sources. If this is unavoidable, in order to prevent the proper operation of the product from being compromised, a suitable insulation board must be used. Otherwise, locate the appliance at least 3 cm away from electrical or gas cookers and at least 30 cm away from combustion heaters or radiators. [. . . ]
