[. . . ] Starting the appliance Chiller system Using the refrigerator to its full potential Using the freezer to its full potential Switching the appliance off Cleaning the appliance Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours Defrosting the appliance Replacing the light bulb Before placing your new appliance into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance. [. . . ] Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break. The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4). To freeze (if the freezer is already operating): - for small quantities which are less than those indicated on the data plate, press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button (corresponding yellow indicator light illuminates), insert the food and close the door. The function is disabled automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures have been reached (indicator light goes out); - for large quantities which are greater than the maximum load indicated on the data plate, hold down the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button until the corresponding indicator light begins to flash. After 24 hours the indicator light stops flashing and remains on constantly. Place the food inside the freezer and close the door. After another 24 hours, the function will be disabled automatically (indicator light goes out). In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the evaporator plates. If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 14 hours. During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: 1. If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not necessary to switch the appliance off. The appliance has a function which allows it to maintain the temperature of the refrigerator compartment at approximately 15°C (which can also be used to conserve make-up and beauty products). The freezer temperature must be set to the minimum value in order to preserve the food. A single acoustic signal informs you when it has been disabled. The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance. Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any devices or tools other than the scraper provided, you may damage the refrigeration circuit. Defrosting the refrigerator compartment The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge outlet (see diagram) where the heat produced by the compressor causes it to evaporate. [. . . ] A) The refrigerator door has remained open for more than two minutes (the buzzer will stop sounding when you shut the door) or the correct switching-off procedure was not followed (see Maintenance). B/c) In both these cases the freezer will maintain a temperature of about 0°C so that the food does not re-freeze. To turn off the acoustic signal open and close the refrigerator door. The green POWER indicator light flashes. [. . . ]
