[. . . ] The appliance has not been designed or manufactured for professional use. Smeg declines all responsibility for damage deriving from improper use of the appliance. The refrigerator has undergone all necessary tests regarding tightness of the refrigeration circuit and complies with the safety regulations for electrical appliances. Caution: the manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to comply with the above regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the appliance and the use of non-original spare parts. 19 Instructions for the Installer 3. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION 3. 1 Choosing the site Always place the refrigerator in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Never expose it to direct sunlight or install it outdoors. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate inside the refrigerator), the appliance can be used in different temperature conditions: Class SN (Subnormal) N (Normal) ST (Subtropical) T (Tropical) Ambient temperature from + 10° C to + 32° C from + 16° C to + 32° C from + 18° C to + 38° C from + 18° C to + 43° C Never place the refrigerator close to heat sources. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the appliance at least 3 cm from electric or gas cookers and at least 30 cm from combustion or radiation heating systems. To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the refrigerator must not be placed too close to the wall. To prevent this, the appliance comes complete with two plastic spacers which must be fitted to the top of the condenser. In normal operating conditions, a medium-low setting (1-2) is recommended. This will provide effective storage of the fresh foods in the refrigerator compartment and of the frozen foods in the freezer compartment. The temperature setting in the freezer section is controlled by the main thermostat. Important Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the doors of the two separate compartments are opened may affect the refrigerator's operating temperatures. 7. FREEZING FOODS For proper storage and freezing, fruit and vegetables should be packed in portions of not more than 1 kg and meat and fish up to a max. Small packages of food freeze more quickly, giving better conservation of their nutrients and flavour, even after thawing and preparation. Use only freezer bags, aluminium film, food-approved polyethylene film and freezer containers. Do not use paper bags, non food-approved cellophane bags, shopping bags or used freezer bags. Pack foods in airtight packs and try to expel all the air. If using bags, close the packs with the elastic bands or plastic-coated wire strips provided. Always cool hot foods to room temperature before placing them in the freezer and do not allow frozen foods to touch fresh foods for freezing. [. . . ] If it is over-loud, there may be other causes. In this case, check that: - The refrigerator is properly levelled on the floor and does not vibrate when the compressor is in operation: adjust the feet provided as appropriate; - The drawers, shelves and door boxes are correctly fitted and securely in place: fit correctly; - Bottles and containers on the various shelves are stable and not touching:the vibration due to operation of the compressor may generate some noise; - Do not place kitchen units or other appliances so that they are touching the refrigerator. 8. 7 Identifying and Dealing with Malfunctions Your new refrigerator is designed and built to strict quality standards. This section is intended to enable you to identify the origin of any malfunctions which may occur before contacting the Smeg After-Sales Service. 8. 8 Changing the inside light bulb Before changing the bulb, make sure that the light has not stopped working simply because the part inside the lamp socket has become loose. In all cases, whether you wish to check that the socket is connected correctly or change the bulb, for safety reasons the plug must be removed from the power socket. (It may be useful to remove the shelves for easier access). [. . . ]
