[. . . ] • The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e. • The voltage must be in the range between the values indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side (e. • The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance). [. . . ] • 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) • 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. Al fine di ottenere un spazio maggiore nel reparto freezer potete togliere i cassetti dalle loro sedi (tranne quello più in basso e l’eventuale cassetto COOL CARE ZONE a temperatura variabile) , sistemando gli alimenti direttamente sulle piastre evaporanti. ICE CARE tray The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided). Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray). Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each mould fills with water (see diagram). Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out through the opening. 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. If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced. MAX WATER LEVEL MAX WATER LEVEL 15 Maintenance and care GB Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on 0 (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact. 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 Cleaning the appliance • 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. 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. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily. Replacing the light bulb To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Access the light bulb (A) by unscrewing the fixing screw (B) which is located at the back of the lampcover, as shown (see diagram). [. . . ] This shows the appliance is operating normally. Some of the external parts of the refrigerator become hot. The back wall of the refrigerator unit is covered in frost or droplets of water. There is water at the bottom of the refrigerator. [. . . ]
