[. . . ] To determine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem. Do not try to repair the problem by trying to access the internal components of the appliance. If damaged, the power supply cord on this appliance must necessarily be replaced by our service centre because special tools are required for replacement. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment for food storage, if these are not those recommended by the manufacturer. [. . . ] After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the vertical upright position and wait at least 3 hours before inserting the plug into the socket in order to ensure that it functions properly. Electrical Connection and Earthing Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located at the 1 GB A closer look A Temperature regulation knob D E F G H Compartment for a 2 litre bottle Use this knob to regulate the temperature of the refrigerator.

Use these average temperature settings to ensure optimum performance and to save energy. Before storing food in your refrigerator wipe the interior with a solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda. After having plugged the appliance into the socket, make sure that the refrigerator light has turned on. Then turn the thermostat knob “A” to setting “3”. After a couple of hours, you can place fresh food into the refrigerator. Once you have bought your food, remove all external packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your refrigerator. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact between them, thereby removing both the possibility of germ/bacteria contamination as well as the diffusion of strong odours inside the fridge. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate freely between different items. Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places). GB 4 Energy Saving Tips - Install the Appliance Correctly This means that the appliance should be installed away from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room. - Keep the Door Closed Open the refrigerator only when necessary; remember that every time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. To bring the temperature back to the proper level, the motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consuming a substantial amount of energy. - Correct Temperature Settings Set the refrigerator temperature knob to one of the middle settings. Very cold temperature settings will not only consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively cold temperatures may ruin vegetables, cold cuts and cheese. - Check the Seal on the Door Keep the seal clean and soft so that it fits tightly against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost. - Do Not Overfill Your Appliance Remember that proper storage of food requires good air circulation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air circulation and overwork the compressor. - Never Put Food in the Refrigeror while Still Hot A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room temperature before storing. [. . . ] Do not use mechanical devices or instruments other than those recommended by the manufacturer to speed up the defrosting process. The evaporator defrosts automatically during operation; the defrost water drips into the drain, is collected in a special tray and then evaporates. clean the defrost water drain hole periodically (see fig. 1) to prevent water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.
