User manual HUBBELL LIGHTING 571

[. . . ] It is extremely dangerous to leave it exposed to rain or storms. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refrigerate and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use contained in this manual. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet or with wet hands or feet. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension cords or multiple socket adapters. [. . . ] If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient temperature high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to an increase in energy consumption. To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically. Storing Food in the Refrigerator Compartment Food Wrapped meat and cleaned fish (use plastic wrap or pack in plastic bags) Fresh cheese Eggs Butter, margarine Cooked or precooked food (placer in air-tight containers and when cool store in refrigerator) Sausages, salami, sandwich meats in general, fresh pasta, custards, puddings, chocolates, cream pastries, bread, dry pastries, red tomatoes Bottled products, milk, drinks, yoghurt Fruits and legumes 3 or 4 days Storage Time 2 or 3 days 3 or 4 days 1 month Location in the Refrigerator On the shelf above the vegetable crisper (which is the coldest area). On the shelf above the vegetable crisper (which is the coldest area). On any shelf. 3 or 4 days On any shelf. On special door shelves. In vegetable crisper. What Not to Store in the Refrigerator Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks. Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places). GB 4 - Within the refrigerator compartment, the air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling because it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses should be placed above the vegetable crisper. - Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum storage time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible for any extended amount of time. - Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store any longer than raw food. - Do not place liquids in containers without covering them because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost. - Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze. - 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. 5 GB Ice trays This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent. The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers ensures greater ergonomics and 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). To raise the temperature to the proper level again, the motor must work for a long time, consuming energy. - Keep an Eye on the Seals Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes. - No Hot Foods A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the refrigerator. - Defrost the Freezer Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer and immediately defrost it if the layer of frost is too thick.
