[. . . ] I N FO LIBRETTO INSTALLATION AND ISTRUZIONI INSTRUCTION MANUAL FRIGORIFERO - CONGELATORE FRIDGE - FREEZER ER 8138 I ER 8138 I 2222 337-31 WARNINGS It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to replace an older appliance having a spring lock (latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make that spring lock unusable before you discard the old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death-trap for a child. [. . . ] In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption. Use of the freezer - Operation Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light will light up, indicating that the appliance is powered. Turn the thermostat knob, clockwise, beyond the ÇOÈ (STOP) position. To stop the appliance, turn the thermostat knob to position ÇOÈ. To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to position ÇOÈ. Fast freezing Temperature regulation The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher settings. However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on: ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ room temperature; how often the door is opened; the quantity of food stored; location of appliance. To start fast-freezing food, turn the knob towards ÇSÈ. Pilot light (D) will come on. Warning light Warning light (C) lights up when the temperature inside the freezer compartment has increased to a value which jeopardizes the long-term storage of food in the compartment. When the appliance is switched on for the first time or when food is placed in the compartment for freezing, it is normal for this light to remain on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage. 17 3 A Freezing fresh food The 4-star freezer is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh food. To fast freeze food, if the appliance has been out of operation, allow it to run on the fast freeze setting for at least three hours before loading the food. If, however, the appliance is already in operation, set it to run on the fast freeze setting for at least 24 hours before loading the food. Place the food to be frozen in the upper compartment of the freezer as this is the coldest part. 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. USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR Operation Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob, clockwise, beyond the ÇOÈ (STOP) position. The appliance will start to operate. Temperature regulation The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher settings. However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on: room temperature; how often the door is opened; the quantity of food stored; location of appliance. Storage of frozen food When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run for at least two hours on the coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position. Important Important If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption. In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under Òrising timeÓ, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling). Fresh food refrigeration To obtain the best performance: ¥ ¥ ¥ do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. Position food so that air can circulate freely round it. Thawing Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation. [. . . ] If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed, connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance with current regulations, consulting a specialist technician. The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed. This appliance complies with the following E. E. C. Directives: - 87/308 EEC of 2/6/87 relative to radio interference suppression. [. . . ]
