[. . . ] Never touch the cooling components within the appliance, especially with wet hands because this could result in injury. Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into your mouth because they could stick to your mouth and cause burns. Never clean or perform maintenance on the appliance without first removing the plug from the socket; in fact, turning the knob for adjusting the temperature to the "0"· setting is not sufficient to eliminate all electrical contact with the mains. Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal, remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent children who might play in or around the appliance from being locked inside. [. . . ] 1 Freezing Foods Properly - For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult a specialized manual. - Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be refrozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours) or to freeze it once again. - When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment "I" where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper conservation depends on the speed of freezing. - During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer. - The maximum daily quantity of food that can be frozen is indicated on the rating plate located to the left of the vegetable crisper. - In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recommended that you divide food into small portions so that they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be clearly marked with the content and the date they were frozen. - In order to obtain a larger amount of space in the freezer compartment, you can remove the central drawer, and place the food directly onto the evaporator plate. Make sure that, after having inserted the load, the door closes correctly. - Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in temperature within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for approximately 9-14 hours. - Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze. - Fill the ice cube trays about 3/4 full. - If the ambient temperature remains below 14°C for an extended period of time, the temperature needed for extended storage of food in the freezer will not be reached, resulting in reduced storage life of the food.

If after all the checks, the appliance still does not operate or the problem persists, call the nearest Service Centre and inform them of: the type of problem, the abbreviation of the model name (Mod. ) and the relative numbers (S/N) written on the rating plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper (see examples in the figures below). The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool properly. Have you checked whether: • The doors do not close well or the seals are faulty; • The doors are left open too long; • The thermostat knob is not on the proper setting; • The refrigerator or freezer is overfilled.
