[. . . ] It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify this appliance in any way. Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only. Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been thawed out. [. . . ] This will prevent it from becoming a death-trap for a child. Fig. 2 Location Place the appliance as far away as possible from sources of heat, e. g. radiators, heaters, direct sunlight, etc. The best results are achieved with a room temperature ranging from +18°C to +43°C (class T) or from +18°C to +38°C (class ST). The class of your appliance is shown on its rating plate. Make sure that there is nothing at the back, at the top and at the bottom of the appliance to obstruct air circulation. For a more efficient operation of the appliance the minimum distance between the top of the appliance and other overhanging kitchen furniture, if any, should be at least 100 mm (Fig. 1-B (without overhanging kitchen furniture). One or more adjustable feet mounted on the base of the appliance make it possible to set it perfectly level. Fig. 1 100 mm min. A 45° D039 Power connection Before plugging the appliance into 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. Important Never put fizzy drinks in the freezer as they might well burst. Ice lollies should not be eaten straight out of the freezer as they might cause cold burns. Remember that, once thawed, frozen food deteriorates rapidly. If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezing compartment. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (an increase in temperature of the frozen food may shorten the period of their safe storage), otherwise it is recommended that the food should be used within a very short time. Refrigeration of foods To achieve the best results with the refrigerator compartment, you should follow one or two 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 (grids) with paper or plastic since this blocks circulation of air in the compartment. For a correct use of the compartment we suggest: Raw meat: wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad crisper. Only store in this way for one or two days at most. Fruit & Vegetables: these should be washed and placed in the bottom salad crisper. Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible. [. . . ] 8); after complete defrosting dry thoroughly the refrigerator compartment an refit the plug. Fig. 8 D434 Defrosting Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough (Fig. 7) into a special container on the back of the appliance where it evaporates. [. . . ]
