[. . . ] Be careful when moving the cabinet and always use gloves. ¥ Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. ¥ Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. ¥ Do not use electrical appliances inside the appliance ¥ Do not keep carbonated drinks or bottles in the freezer compartment. [. . . ] Place a container on the first shelf in the refrigerator directly under the water drain hole of the defrost tray and remove the stopper as shown in the figure. Do not use metal implements to detach the trays. Hints Saving Energy ¥ Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section ÒInstallationÓ. When installed correctly the cabinet will consume less energy. ¥ Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. ¥ If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow a saving in electricity consumption. ¥ Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. ¥ Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean. Hints for refrigeration ¥ Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator and do cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong smell. To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some useful hints: ¥ Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad compartment, this being the coldest spot in the refrigerator. Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most. ¥ Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc. : these should be well covered and can be stored on any of the wire shelves. D188 4. dry thoroughly the ice-compartment and replace the stopper. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaning Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged. 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. Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of soda. The condenser and compressor should be cleaned using a brush or a vacuum cleaner. 3 When the appliance is not in use Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
