The voltage is in the range of values indicated on the data plate located inside the freezer (e. g. The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance). [. . . ] The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located within the freezer (for example: Kg/ 24h: 4). To freeze food, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the Super position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated). Place the food you wish to freeze in the top compartment, making sure it does not come into contact with any items which are already frozen. After 24 hours, once the freezing process is complete, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated). Remember to carry out this last step in order. Placing large amounts of fresh food in the freezer may temporarily increase the temperature inside the appliance (this is indicated when the RED indicator light illuminates). This situation, as it is only temporary, does not adversely affect the storage conditions of food that is already frozen. 12 Maintenance and care Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: 1. Switch the appliance off (press the ON/OFF switch so that it is in the o position and the GREEN indicator light is off); 2. pull the plug out of the socket. Defrosting the appliance !Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost the appliance as these may damage the refrigeration circuit beyond repair. If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. The previous day, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the Super position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated) in order to cool the food down even more. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place. Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely. This can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water in the freezer compartment. . Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to lead the water outside. Let the water flow into a container (see diagram). GB Cleaning the appliance The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia. The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully. Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly. If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open. 5. [. . . ] Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy. Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will work continuously. Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. [. . . ]
