[. . . ] 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. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension cords or multiple socket adapters. [. . . ] The temperature indicator The fridge has been equipped with a temperature indicator for an improved, more precise definition of the coldest zone. Make sure “OK” comes up on the indicator. Correct lighting also ensures an easier indicator reading. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature is too high. Adjust the thermostat (of the fridge compartment) to a higher setting (colder). Each time you adjust the thermostat setting, wait for the temperature inside the fridge compartment to become stable (approximately 10 hours) before making any further adjustments. WARNING: Should you place large quantities of food inside the fridge or should the fridge door have been opened frequently or for a prolonged period of time, it is quite normal for OK not to come up on the indicator. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting the thermostat to a higher setting. 3 GB 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).

Make sure that, after having inserted the load, the door closes correctly. - In order to have a larger storage volume, the freezer compartment can be used without its drawers (except for the first one from the bottom), placing food directly onto the evaporator plates. After introducing the food to be stored, make sure that the door shuts properly. - 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. [. . . ] How to Defrost the Refrigerator This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is channeled to the back toward the drain installed for this purpose (fig.
