Voltage can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage. For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized auto-transformer must be used. The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact for this purpose. 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.

Turn knob (A) beyond the «O» position. To safely store frozen and deep-frozen foods, the inner temperature of the freezer must be at least ­18°C or colder. Therefore, we suggest you turn the knob (A) to a medium setting. The temperature inside the freezer is automatically adjusted to ensure safe storage of the food. However if the appliance works in unfavourable room conditions such as poor ventilation, high ambient temperature and frequent door openings, it might be necessary to select a more suitable setting. [. . . ] During the freezing process, do not add further foods for freezing and do not open the freezer door. The foods for freezing should not be placed in contact with already frozen foods, but put in the top drawer. This will stop the temperature of already frozen foods from rising. Never put fizzy drinks in the freezer as they might well burst. [. . . ]
