User manual BARTSCHER 300042

[. . . ] This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even in an area protected by a roof. It is extremely dangerous to leave it exposed to rain or storms. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refrigerate and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use contained in this manual. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet or with wet hands or feet. [. . . ] the refrigerator is operating normally. If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient temperature high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to an increase in energy consumption. To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically. Storing Food in the Refrigerator Compartment Food Wrapped meat and cleaned fish (use plastic wrap or pack in plastic bags) Fresh cheese Eggs Butter, margarine Cooked or precooked food (placer in air-tight containers and when cool store in refrigerator) Sausages, salami, sandwich meats in general, fresh pasta, custards, puddings, chocolates, cream pastries, bread, dry pastries, red tomatoes Bottled products, milk, drinks, yoghurt Fruits and legumes 3 or 4 days Storage Time 2 or 3 days 3 or 4 days 1 month Location in the Refrigerator On the shelf above the vegetable crisper (which is the coldest area). On the shelf above the vegetable crisper (which is the coldest area). What Not to Store in the Refrigerator Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks. Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places). GB 24 - Within the refrigerator compartment, the air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling because it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses should be placed above the vegetable crisper. - Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum storage time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible for any extended amount of time. - Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in temperature within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for approximately 9-14 hours. - Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze. - If the ambient temperature remains below 14°C for an extended period of time, the temperature needed for extended storage of food in the freezer will not be reached, resulting in reduced storage life of the food. 4) Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed it: inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes. If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray and re-fill it with water. Once you have filled the ice tray up with water through the hole indicated, turn it by 90 °. This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent. The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers ensures greater ergonomics and cleanliness. Once the ice has formed, all you need to do is to knock the tray against a hard surface so that the ice cubes come away from their housing and come out of the same hole used to fill the tray with water. [. . . ] - Do not Overfill To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously. The only thing you must do is to periodically check and clean the hole of the drain, which is located behind the vegetable crispers, so that the water drains properly. 5 29 GB Cleaning and Special Maintenance Before cleaning the refrigerator, disconnect it from the electrical mains (by removing the plug from the socket or by turning off the main electricity switch for the apartment or house).
