Do not connect your appliance to the electricity supply until all packing and transit protectors have been removed. ⷠLeave to stand for at least 12 hours before switching on, to allow compressor oil to settle, if transported horizontally. ⷠIf you are discarding an old appliance with a lock or latch fitted to the door, ensure that it is left in a safe condition to prevent the entrapment of children. [. . . ] Getting to know your appliance (Item 1) 1 - Thermostat and lamp housing 2 - Adjustable Cabinet shelves 3 - Wine bottles support 4 - Water collector 5 - Crisper cover 6 - Crisper 7 - Ice tray support & ice tray 8 - Compartment for quickly freezing 9 - Compartments for frozen froods keeping 10 - Adjustable foot 11 - Dairy Compartment 12 - Shelf for jars 13 - Shelf for bottles The recommendation for storage as stated on the food packaging should be observed at all times. Dairy products should be stored in the special compartment provided in the door liner. Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat knob (Item 5) and may be set at any position between 1 and 5 (the coldest position). The average temperature inside the fridge should be around +5° (+41° C F). therefore adjust the thermostat to obtain the desired temperature. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer (such as salad crisper and top part of the cabinet) which is quite normal. We recommend that you check the temperature periodically with a thermometer to ensure that the cabinet is kept to this temperature. Frequent door openings cause internal temperatures to rise, so it is advisable to close the door as soon as possible after use. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of commercially frozen foods and also can be used to freeze and store fresh food. After defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly (Item 8 & 9). Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance (Item 6). During defrosting, water droplets may form at the back of the fridge compartment where a concealed evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the droplets which have refrozen. If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared with a pipecleaner or similar implement. Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the water spilling on the electric installation or on the floor (Item 7). B) Freezer compartment Defrosting is very straightforward and without mess, thanks to a special defrost collection basin. Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. [. . . ] If you want to remove the tray to clean it, follow the instructions below: · Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug · Gently uncrimp the stud on the compressor, using a pair of pliers, so that the tray can be removed · Clean and wipe it dry · reassemble , reversing the sequence and operations 13. To remove a drawer, pull it as far as possible, tilt it upwards and then pull it out completely. Do- Clean and defrost your appliance regularly (See "Defrosting") Do- Keep raw meat and poultry below cooked food and dairy products. Do- Take off any unusable leaves on vegetables and wipe off any soil. [. . . ]
