[. . . ] Take care when moving the appliance not to damage the floor (for example, when installing on a parquet floor). 3. 3 Electrical connection Before switching the refrigerator on for the first time, leave it vertical for at least two hours. Then connect the appliance's power supply lead to a mains socket with earth contact, installed in accordance with electrical safety regulations. The rated voltage and frequency are stated on the nameplate inside the refrigerator compartment. The appliance must be connected to the electrical mains and earthed in compliance with the relevant regulations and requirements. Check that the voltage rating on the nameplate is the same as the mains supply. If the power supply lead has to be replaced, this operation must only be carried out by an authorised Smeg technical service engineer. The power plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed. 20 Instructions for the User 4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION CONTROL PANEL: controls the refrigerator and freezer section temperatures. "6. 4 Alarm light") ACOUSTIC ALARM (refer to point "6. 5 Acoustic alarm") RAPID FREEZING BUTTON (see par. "6. 3. 1 SUPER function") ACOUSTIC ALARM OFF (refer to point "6. 5 Acoustic alarm") OPERATING LIGHT 6. 1 Switching the appliance on After the appliance has been connected to the mains, see par. "3. 3 Electrical connection", turn the knobs and to a position other than the minimum setting. The green light will light up to indicate that the refrigerator and freezer compartments are operating. After starting up the appliance, it will take around 3 hours before the freezer compartment reaches the set temperature. For both compartments, the temperature should be set to reflect how often the doors will be opened, the amount of food stored in them and the ambient conditions. The refrigerator compartment can be set to zero ( ) so that only the freezer compartment is operating. The freezer compartment, however, cannot be set to zero ( ) so that only the refrigerator compartment operates. Important Changes in climatic conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the door is opened affect the appliance's operating temperatures. 6. USING THE APPLIANCE 6. 2 Arranging foods inside the refrigerator compartment Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping or cover. This precaution will: - conserve foods' fragrance, moisture and freshness; - prevent the cross-contamination of foods with different aromas and tastes; - prevent the humidity level inside the refrigerator becoming too high because of the normal breathing of food (especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In some operating conditions (rise in ambient temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the door) this might cause condensation to form on the shelves. Use only containers approved for food storage. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator. [. . . ] Replace the lamp with an equivalent one (max. power 25 W). 27 Instructions for the User 8. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM Noisy operation The compressor starts up too often or operates continuously: POSSIBLE CAUSE compressor and cooling inadequate: condenser PROBABLE SOLUTION see "7. 4 Operating noise" check that the rear of the appliance is properly ventilated as explained in par. "3. 1 Choosing the site" and that the condenser is not over-dirty; The compressor does not start up: Refrigerator sufficiently: section not cooled - - rise in outside temperature; doors opened often or for long periods; too much fresh food placed in the appliance.
