[. . . ] For the correct preservation of food, all easily perishable items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc. ) should be stored in the coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i. Just above the salad crisper where the temperature indicator is situated. Using the freezer to its full potential • Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours). • Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored above the grill in the freezer compartment and if possible be in direct contact with the walls (side and rear), where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing. • 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) !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. GB 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 (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily. Defrosting the freezer compartment If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the position . Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place. Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely. This can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water in the freezer compartment. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to lead the water outside: let the water flow into a container (see diagram). Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before switching the appliance on again. Until the ideal storage conditions have been restored, before placing food in the freezer compartment. [. . . ] Possible causes / Solutions: • The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far enough to make contact, or there is no power in the house. • • • • • The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged. The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled. The atmospheric temperature of the area surrounding the appliance is lower than 14°C. [. . . ]
