[. . . ] This fundamental safety requirement must be verified and, if there are any doubts, the installation should be thoroughly checked by a professional electrician. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused by the appliance not being earthed. INSTALLATION For models where the feet are not already fitted, screw these into the relative threaded holes under the freezer. Ensure that the two front feet are not quite fully screwed home, so that the freezer leans slightly backwards. [. . . ] ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION Packaging and waste treatment After unpacking the appliance, do not throw the packaging in the garbage but separate the various materials (such as styrofoam, cardboard. ) according to the local regulations and procedures for waste disposal. For further details, look at the serial number plate on the appliance. When cleaning the appliance, use only the materials and the procedure specified in the section dealing with cleaning. For appliances with isobutane (R 600 a) Isobutane is a natural gas that does not harm the environment. You must therefore ensure that: - when the appliance is installed there is more than 3 cubic metres of air around it; - the appliance's ventilation vents are kept unobstructed and clean; - the appliance's refrigerating circuit is not damaged neither internally, through the use of sharp or pointed objects nor because the condenser unit was incorrectly cleaned. At the end of the appliance's working life it must be stored before being disposed of. For information on proper disposal of the appliance, consult your retailer or the local authority responsible for disposal. TEMPERATURE CONTROL The ambient temperature, the load and the frequency with which the doors of the appliance are opened all affect the internal temperature. When the control value is changed the freezer cannot start up immediately because it has been halted. Temperature regulation is done using the thermostat knob to be found outside the freezer. - Set the thermostat control to the fast freeze position "SUPER" at least 24 hours before putting in the food to be frozen; remembering to set it back to its original position after 24 hours from when freezing commenced. The maximum quantity that can be frozen, as laid down by European standards, is indicated on the rating plate. dEFROSTING a) 24 hours before defrosting set the thermostat control to the coldest position so as to reduce the temperature of the food. B) Wrap frozen products in special foodstuff paper and put them in another freezer or a cool place. F) Then reinsert the plug into the socket and let the appliance work for 3/4 hours on the coldest position. Upright freezers are fitted with a system for expelling defrosted water consisting of a removable draining tube located at the bottom of the freezing compartment. CLEANING To prevent the formation of unpleasant smells, it is recommended that the freezer be cleaned periodically, at least two or three times a year. A) Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the appliance from the power supply by pulling out the plug (it is not enough to set the thermostat control to "q"). B) Remove all food and ice cubes from the freezer. C) Wait until the frost has melted off the evaporator. D) Clean the interior of the freezer using lukewarm water into which has been dissolved one or two spoonfuls of bicarbonate of soda; rinse and dry. [. . . ] If your freezer does not work, or if it does not work properly, check these points before making a Service call. 1) Is power getting to the socket to which the freezer is connected?2) Is the connecting plug not plugged into the socket?4) Have you let too much frost accumulate on the evaporator (more than 4 to 5 mm)?
