Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, be sure to switch off and unplug the appliance. [. . . ] Best performance is obtained with ambient temperature between +18°C and +43°C (class T); +18°C and +38°C (class ST); +16°C and +32°C (class N); +10°C and +32°C (class SN). The class of your appliance is shown on its rating plate.

For this purpose the supply cable plug incorporates a special earth contact. A medium setting is generally the most suitable. However, the thermostat knob setting should be adjusted depending on the temperature required inside the appliance. This, in turn, depends on a number of factors such as the ambient temperature, the number of times the door is opened, the quantity of food stored and the location of the appliance. Turn the knob clockwise, to higher numbers, to obtain a lower temperature, or anticlockwise if a higher temperature is required. GB Storage of foods in refrigerator compartment To achieve the best results with the refrigerator compartment, you should follow some very simple rules: Do not put warm foods or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; cover or wrap foods (particularly if they have a strong smell or contain aromatic herbs); do not cover the shelves with paper or plastic since this blocks the air circulation in the compartment. Please note: Do not place foodstuffs and paperbags etc. in contact with the evaporator plate at the rear of the refrigerator compartment as this can lead to impairment of the operation of the refrigerator. In this position, fresh meat can be stored fpr 1-2 days at most. Further hints for getting the best out of your refrigerator are the following: Cooked food, cold dishes, jellies etc. , should be well covered. Fruit and vegetables should be washed before being stored. Raw meat (all types, including poultry) should be stored in plastic bags.

Fig. 4 D351 49 Positioning the door shelves To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be adjusted in height. [. . . ] Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter. Important Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc. ) in the freezing compartment as they may burst. Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezing compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt. Remember that, once thawed, frozen food deteriorates rapidly. [. . . ]
