[. . . ] Replace the middle hinge to the left hand side. Refit the bottom hinge (3) (turn it 180°), the pin (1) and fets (2) on the opposite side, using the two screws previously removed. Refit them on the opposite side after having pierced the plugs with a punch. Cover the holes left open with the plugs contained in the documentation pack Warning: After having reversed the opening direction of the doors check that all the screws are properly tightened and that the magnetic seal adheres to the cabinet. [. . . ] The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content. Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation. Warning This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therfore only be carried out by authorized technicians. When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions: remove the plug from the wall socket; remove all food; defrost and clean the interior and all accessories; leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent unpleasant smells. Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of soda. Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operstion will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption. The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment can be reached as follows: - unscrew the light cover securing screw. - unhook the moving part as shown in the figure. However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember tha, in this condition, the refrigertor compartment temperature might drop brlow 0°C. Insert the power supply plug into the nearest wall socket. Open the door and turn the thermostat knob, clockwise, beyond the "O" (STOP) position. To turn off the refrigerator, turn the thermostat knob to the «O» position. When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least two hours on the coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position. Important If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer compartment. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period). The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher settings. However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on: · Room temperature; how often the door is opened; the quantity of food stored; location of appliance. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption. This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. [. . . ] if the appliance has been transported horizontally , it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit.
