[. . . ] 9 I Safety - a good habit to get into. ATTENTION Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of your appliance. Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards (EN60) and has been awarded the European approval mark (IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements. It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimination of radio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02. [. . . ] 1) which can be adjusted for height using the appropriate guides. This feature allows you to store large containers and food products. Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in the refrigerator. To use the meat/cheese box, unhook it and remove it from the shelf. To optimise space according to your needs, the same can be moved laterally (Fig. The side bottle rack can be used either for storing bottles (Fig. 3) as well as several cans (2-4) placed horizontally (Fig. If not in use, the bottle/can rack can be tipped up and away to make more room inside the refrigerator. 2 B B B A A A - Blown air which is cooled when it comes into contact with the refrigeration panel B - Hotter air is drawn in Fig. 3 GB 12 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. - Fresh foods that you intend to freeze must not be placed in contact with those that are already frozen or those that have been fast-frozen. Rather, they must placed atop the grate in the freezer compartment, in contact with the walls of the compartment (back or side) if possible. Please keep in mind that proper conservation of frozen foods depends on the speed with which they are frozen. - 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. - 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. [. . . ] Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed up the defrosting process, unless they have been recommended by the manufacturer. How to Defrost the Refrigerator This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is channeled to the back toward the drain installed for this purpose (fig. Here, the heat produced by the compressor will make it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to periodically check and clean the hole of the drain, which is located behind the vegetable crispers, so that the water drains properly. [. . . ]
