[. . . ] Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight. There must be adequate ventilation round the back of the appliance and any damage to the refrigerant circuit must be avoided. For freezers only (except built-in models): an ideal location is the cellar or basement. Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances. s This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians. Use s s s s s Service / Repair s s s Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. [. . . ] Therefore, we suggest you turn the knob 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. Turn knob towards "max" to obtain lower temperatures and, conversely, towards "min" if a less cold temperature is required. Freezer operation can be halted by turning knob to position «s». Warning light Thermostat knob for adjusting the temperature Quick freezing Move switch to the to the left. The pilot lamp will then light up. Warning light This light warns when the temperature inside the appliance has increased so much as to jeopardize the preservation 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, this light remains on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage. 12 Freezing of fresh foods To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the quick-freeze setting for at least three hours before putting the food to be frozen in the compartment. If instead the appliance is already in operation, it should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24 hours before the foods are put in the freezer. Once the foods have been placed in the freezer, the freezing operation can be considered to be complete 24 hours later. Once freezing is complete, the freezer should be reset for normal storage use. Food to be frozen has to be placed in the top compartment. The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be found on the bottom left-hand side. You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity of foods than the maximum indicated on the appliance's rating plate. To help you get the best out of the freezing process, here are a few hints: s Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned foods. Split them into small portions to speed up freezing and avoid having to thaw more food than you require. It is in fact important to remember that once the foods have thawed out, they deteriorate fast. s Another point to remember is that lean foods keep better and longer than fatty foods. s Wrap the foods in foil or polythene film, ensuring that the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well sealed. In this way, by avoiding contact with air, the colour flavour and nutritional value of the foods remain intact. s During the freezing process, do not add further foods for freezing and do not open the freezer door. s The foods for freezing should not be placed in contact with already frozen foods, but put in the special freezing compartment. [. . . ] 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. The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed. This appliance complies with EEC directive number 87/ 308 of 2/6/87 relative to radio interference suppression. 1. [. . . ]
