Ensure that you understand them all before installing or using this appliance as your safety is of paramount importance. Prior to Installation s General Safety s Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstance should a damaged appliance be installed. [. . . ] To obtain the best performance from this appliance, we suggest that all of the internal baskets are utilized. Moreover, we strongly recommend that you make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to your freezer in the shortest possible time (a temperature increase of the frozen food could shorten its storage period). It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period indicated by the producer of the food. To ensure the correct functioning of the appliance, no foodstuffs should be stored directly against the fan blade. Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary. Important Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc. ), in the freezer. Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in a low temperature skin burn. Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer burns". If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen food, do not open the door during the whole time of the power failure. If the freezer is fully loaded, the frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is recommended to consume the food within a very short time. 6 Ice making Fill the ice tray with water to the top of each ice cube compartment, and place it in the freezer. To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length. Never use a sharp instrument to remove ice from the tray. Automatic defrost Your appliance has been designed to be frost free.

The flow of liquids and gases through the cooler may create a bubbling or gurgling sound. During normal operations movement caused by temperature change may cause sudden sharp sounds. DRAIN PAN Water may occasionaly be heard running into the drain pan. TIMER The automatic defrost timer sounds like an electric clock and clicks in and out of the defrost cycle. MOTOR Modern, high efficiency motors operate much faster than older models. The motor may have a high pitched hum or pulsating sound. 7 HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods.
