[. . . ] 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, unless they are approved for this purpose by the manufacturer. ¥ ¥ more serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local Service Centre, and always This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ Use ¥ The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only. [. . . ] For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown in the relevant Figure. Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction. ¥ Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent. ¥ If the appliance is transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor. There are working parts in this product which heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in ¥ component failure and possible food loss. Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wherever possible the back of the product should be against a wall. If the appliance has been transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor 'lows in the refrigerant circuit. The super control light (B) will then light up. 15 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 fast freeze setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position. Important 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. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer. Ice-cube production 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). This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer compartment. Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer. HINTS Hints for freezing To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints: ¥ ¥ the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate; the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period; only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs; prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required; wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight; do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter; lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food; water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt; it is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time; on the inner door or special card (if supplied) you will find sketches of various animals and food types together with the recommended storage time (in months) from the time of freezing; ¥ do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc. ) in the freezer compartment as they may burst. Hints for storage of frozen food To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should: ¥ make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer; ¥ be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time; ¥ not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary. ¥ Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen. ¥ Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ 16 MAINTENANCE Warning Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
