These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. [. . . ] The best results are achieved with a room temperature of between +16°C and +32°C. Make sure that there is nothing hindering air circulation at the back, bottom or top of the appliance. To achieve the best performance, the top of the appliance ­ if set under a wall cabinet ­ should be at least 50 mm away from the base of the cabinet (Figure 1 - A). However, the appliance should ideally not be installed underneath wall cabinets (as shown in Figure 1 - B). One or more adjustable feet mounted on the base of the appliance make it possible to set it perfectly level. 1 50 mm 45° D060 A Power connection Before plugging in the appliance to the mains socket, check that the voltage and frequency indicated on the appliance's rating plate are the same as those provided by your home power supply. A 6% fluctuation above or below rated voltage is acceptable. For operation using different voltages, you should use an autotransformer of suitable capacity. The appliance MUST be connected to an efficient earth or ground tap. The supply-lead plug in fact incorporates a special earth or ground contact for this purpose. If by any chance the sockets of your domestic wiring system are not earthed, the appliance must be connected to a separate earth or ground wire by a qualified electrician, in accordance with existing safety regulations. For the satisfactory conservation of frozen foods, the freezer's internal temperature must be lower than ­18°C. Wait until the temperature alarm light (C) turns off when the optimum temperature has been reached. Thermostat settings may be modified according to the surrounding room temperature, the location of the freezer and the frequency of door openings, etc. To turn off the freezer, turn the thermostat knob to the «O» position. It is perfectly normal for the temperature alarm light to remain lit up for a short time after the freezer is initially turned on. It will remain lit up until the optimum temperature for the conservation of frozen food is attained. Internal thermometer This indicates the internal temperature of the freezer. It may indicate a temperature above ­18°C when large quantities of food are placed inside for freezing or when the door is left open for a long time. 7 °C Quick-freezing For quick-freezing, turn the N/S knob (D) to the «S» symbol. The quick-freezing indicator light (B) will then light up. -30 -18 0 The temperature alarm light (C) D072 The temperature alarm light turns on automatically whenever the temperature within the freezer rises above a certain value which might endanger satisfactory long-term conservation. 36 Freezing food Set the freezer to quick-freezing operational status. Wait at least 3 hours before introducing fresh foods into the freezer if it has only recently been turned on. If the freezer has already been working for some time, turn the respective knob to the «S» position at least 24 hours before introducing the food into the freezer in order to ensure better freezing results. This period of time may be shortened according to the quantity of food. [. . . ] Foods to be frozen must be enclosed in air-tight sacks or containers especially indicated for this purpose. Close these sacks or containers tightly to eliminate all air. Never place bottles or cans of carbonated beverages in the freezer. Never fill the freezing sacks or containers with covers to the brim.
