The product you have purchased is an automatic refrigerator, or a refrigerator with a low temperature compartment (see attached product sheet), and is for domestic use only. [. . . ] Note: · Make sure the air circulates freely between the shelves and the back wall of the refrigerator. · Do not store food against the back wall of the compartment. · Store liquids in sealed containers. · Vegetables with a high water content (e. g. lettuce) may cause condensation to form in the bottom drawers and/or on the middle shelves; this does not affect the correct operation of the appliance. Nevertheless, it is advisable to wrap vegetables before storing. E A B C D F 10 HOW TO USE THE LOW TEMPERATURE COMPARTMENT If installed, the star low temperature compartment may be used to store frozen products for the time indicated on the packaging. When purchasing deep-frozen foods, check the following: · That the packaging is intact, since the food may have deteriorated. If the package bulges or is marked by damp patches, the product has not been correctly stored and may have partially thawed. · Purchase deep-frozen foods last and use insulated bags for transportation. · Place items in the low temperature compartment as soon as you get home. · Consume partially thawed food within 24 hrs. · Avoid temperature variations as much as possible. Observe the "best before" date on the packaging. · Observe the instructions for preserving deepfrozen foods written on the packaging. How to make ice-cubes · Fill the ice-tray 3/4 full of water and place it in the bottom of the low temperature compartment. If the ice-tray sticks to the bottom, do not use pointed or sharp instruments to detach it. HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE LOW TEMPERATURE COMPARTMENT To maximise performance, defrost the low temperature compartment at least twice a year, or when the layer of ice on the walls reaches 3 mm thickness. Defrost the compartment when the contents are low. Open the door and take out all food items, wrapping them in newspaper and placing them together in a cool place or in an insulated bag. Leave the door open to allow the frost/ice on the compartment walls to melt. Clean with a sponge soaked in a solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent. · Note: to avoid causing irreparable damage, do not use pointed or sharp metal instruments to scrape off ice and do not artificially heat the low temperature compartment. 11 HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT Clean the refrigerator compartment regularly. Refrigerator compartment defrosting is fully automatic. [. . . ] If the fault persists, switch off the appliance and switch on again after an hour. If the fault still persists, contact the AfterSale Service and specify the following: · the nature of the problem · the model · the service number (the number after SERVICE on the rating plate located on the side of the fruit and vegetable drawer) · your full address · your telephone number plus area code.
