[. . . ] In order to ensure a normal operation of your refrigerating appliance, which uses a completely environmentally friendly refrigerant the R 600a (flammable only under certain conditions) you must observe the folloving rules: Do not hinder the free circulation of the air around the appliance. Do not use mechanic devices in order to accelerate the defrosting, others than the ones recommended by the manufacturer. do not destroy the refrigerating circuit. Do not use electric appliances inside the food beeping compartment, others than those that might have been reccommended by the manufacturer. [. . . ] Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat knob and may be set at any position between 1 and 5 (the coldest position). if the thermostat knob is in position "0" the appliance is off. In this case neither the lamp for inside lighting will light. 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. If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 19 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen. Final Check Before you start using the appliance check that: 1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear. The plug has been inserted into the wall socket and the electricity is switched on. When the door is open the interior light will come on. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also make some (noise), whether the compressor is running or not. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the manufacturing process used; it is not a defect. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. [. . . ] Do- Prepare fresh food for freezing in small portions to ensure rapid freezing. Do- Wrap all food in aluminium foil or freezer quality polythene bags and make sure any air is excluded. Do- Wrap frozen food immediately after purchasing and put it in to the freezer as soon as possible. It can be chilled for short periods as long as it is wrapped to prevent it flavouring other food.
