[. . . ] · This fridge/freezer must only be used for its intended purpose i. e the storing and freezing of edible foodstuff. · Do not dispose of the appliance on a fire. This appliance which is among the latest range introduced is particularly environment friendly. Your appliance contains non CFC natural substances in the cooling system and in the insulation (Called cyclopentane) which are potentially flammable if exposed to fire. [. . . ] When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the setting knob should be adjusted so that after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We recommend you set the knob half way between the min(1) and max(5), setting and monitor to obtain the desired temperature i. towards max(5) you will obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the the fridge may be cooler or warmer ( such as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet ) which is quite normal. The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting setting knob towards max position. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer. Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed. In case of a temporary ice build up in the fridge compartment, reduce the thermostat setting to min, monitoring at the same time that the fridge temperature is maximum +5°C (+41°F). Once the ice build up disappears and the appliance starts auto defrosting again as normal, then you may increase the thermostat setting, if required. If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check to ensure that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube (2). If the frost layer reaches about 1/4"(7 mm), reduce the setting (i. e. from 4 to 1) to restart automatic defrosting. B) FREEZER COMPARTMENT The freezer compartment defrosts automatically. The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates cold air. Never insert any object through the guard. Do not allow children to play with the freezer fan. Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas (eg dispensers, spray cans etc. ) or explosive substances. Don't cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air circulation. Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls. [. . . ] · Accessories or consumable items including but not limited to, ice trays, scrapers, cutlery baskets, filters and light bulbs. · Repairs required as a result of unauthorised repair or inexpert installation that fails to meet the requirements contained in the user instruction book. · Repairs to products used on commercial or non-residential household premises. · Loss of frozen food in freezers or fridge/freezers.
