[. . . ] Ensure that you understand them all before installing or using this appliance. If you are unsure about any of the meanings or these warnings contact the Customer Care Department. Prior to installation Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstances should a damaged appliance be installed. [. . . ] The freezer will now run continuously, creating a sufficient reserve of the temperature required. Place the food on the freezing shelf of the freezer and leave the thermostat control knob in the 'Super' position for a further 24 hours. After 24 hours, return the thermostat control knob to the 'Normal' position. The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. Place the frozen food in the storing compartment. If the thermostat control knob is left in the 'Super' position, the freezer will not be damaged, but energy will be wasted. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place on the freezing shelf and leave to freeze. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds. Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer shelf by using pointed or sharp edged objects. F To Make Ice Cubes Hints & Tips Food Storage To obtain the best performance from your freezer: Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid. Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it straight away. The use of an insulated container is advisable. NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave a strong odour. External Cleaning Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption. When the Appliance is not in Use When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the door open to prevent unpleasant smells. 8 Defrosting The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided whenever the thickness of frost exceeds 1/4. During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to perform this operation when the appliance is empty. 3. To accelerate the defrosting process place a bowl of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly. Turn the thermostat control 'Super' and leave to run for at least 4 hours. Return the thermostat control to 'Normal'. Important A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as this could damage the appliance beyond repair. 1. [. . . ] This is to allow the refrigerant to settle. The appliance should therefore: not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat only be installed at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed. The climate classification can be found on the serial plate. The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification: Climate Classification Ambient Temperature SN +10 to +32 °C N +16 to +32 °C ST +18 to +38 °C Cleaning Clean the accessories and the inside of the appliance with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0. 5 litres of water). Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol. Location The appliance should be positioned in a well ventilated, dry room. [. . . ]
