If damaged, the power supply cord on this appliance must necessarily be replaced by our service centre because special tools are required for replacement. [. . . ] How to use the refrigerator compartment. The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance 1 = less cold 5 = colder It is recommended that a medium setting be used. To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator compartment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on whether the compressor is operating or not at a given time. 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).

What Not to Store in the Refrigerator Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks. - Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze. - Fill the ice cube trays about 3/4 full. - 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. GB 4 Tips on Saving Energy - Install the Appliance Correctly This means that the appliance should be installed away from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room. tHE ACTUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE APPLIANCE DEPENDS ON THE WAY THE SAME IS USED AND ON ITS LOCATION. The consumption tests were performed in 560mm deep column units, the most common installation setting for this appliance. - Use the Right Temperature Setting A setting which is too cold increases energy consumption. - 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. - Close the Doors Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the temperature to the proper level again, the motor must work for a long time, consuming energy. [. . . ] Remember to dry thoroughly before replacing them. - Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is not in use for any length of time, remember to clean the interior and dry thoroughly, leaving the doors open to prevent the formation of bad odours and mould.
