[. . . ] Yellow Indicator Light lights in the switched-on state of the Freezer Switch. The Red Indicator Light will also illuminate until the correct temperature is reached. A few hours after starting up the Red Indicator Light will go out to show that the correct temperature has been reached for the setting chosen and will stay out to indicate that everything is in order. It will come on if the freezer temperature rises unduly for instance, after opening the freezer door or placing food inside the cabinet, but the light should go out again when 3. 2 Switching off 1. 2. To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature Regulator to the "O" position. To disconnect the appliance from the power disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket. 3. 3 Temperature regulation The temperature within the appliance is controlled by the Temperature Regulator situated on the control panel. To operate the appliance, proceed as follows: • turn the Temperature Regulator toward lower settings to obtain the minimum coldness. • turn the Temperature Regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness. A medium setting is generally the most suitable. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS 6. 1 Normal Operating Sounds • You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing. • When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you will hear a whirring sound and a pulsating noise from the compressor. • The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenomenon. • When the compressor switches on or switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of the temperature regulator. • 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. 6. 2 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; 6. 3 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. 7. Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation. This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians. ENGLISH 9 7. 1 Periodic cleaning The equipment has to be cleaned regularly: • clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap. • regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris. Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet. Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour. Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. [. . . ] • Reposition, level the appliance, wait for at least four hours and then connect it to the power socket. Do a final check to make sure that: • All screws are tightened. • The door opens and closes correctly. If the ambient temperature is cold (i. e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. [. . . ]
