[. . . ] Just above the salad crisper where the temperature indicator is situated. Pure Wind maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of the evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature inside the refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has been opened. The blown air (A) is cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall, whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram). 15 GB 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 in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment 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). • 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. If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not be 16 Maintenance and care 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 OFF (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily. GB 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 OFF . 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). 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 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. GB The food inside the refrigerator is beginning to freeze. • The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position. [. . . ]
