They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. [. . . ] Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an average value. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the refrigerator. SHELVES: with or without grill. Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf. Using the refrigerator to its full potential Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to adjust the temperature (see Description). Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips). Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods. Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form. Setting the temperature The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the thermostat knob. We recommend, however, a medium position. The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased space and improved aesthetics. During operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether the compressor is operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is functioning normally. If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set on high values with large quantities of food and with a high ambient temperature, the appliance can operate continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and excessive energy consumption: compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will occur automatically). In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. The food should be stored as follows: )RRG Fresh fish and meat Fresh cheese Cooked food Salami, bread loaf, chocolate Fruit and vegetables Eggs $UUDQJHPHQW LQVLGH WKH UHIULJHUDWRU Above the fruit and vegetable bins Above the fruit and vegetable bins On any shelf On any shelf In the fruit and vegetable bins On the shelf provided Butter and margarine On the shelf provided Bottles, drinks, milk On the shelf provided 6 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 0 (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact. Defrosting the appliance !Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any devices or tools, you may damage the refrigeration circuit. The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge outlet (see diagram) where the heat produced by the compressor causes it to evaporate. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily. GB 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. Do not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia. The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance. Replacing the light bulb To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical socket. [. . . ] The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor is off. This shows the appliance is operating normally. The back wall of the refrigerator unit is covered in frost or droplets of wate. There is water at the bottom of the refrigerator. The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance). 9 Assistance GB Guarantee 12 months Parts and Labour Guarantee Your appliance has the benefit of our manufacturers guarantee, which covers the cost of breakdown repairs for twelve months from the date of purchase.
