[. . . ] It is highly recommended that you do not use extension cords or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is installed between cabinets, make sure that the cord is not bent or dangerously pinched or compressed. Never pull on the cord or the refrigerator to remove the plug from the wall socket - this is very dangerous. Never touch the cooling components within the appliance, especially with wet hands because this could result in injury. [. . . ] Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places). GB 12 - 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. - Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food or other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of the back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, increase energy consumption and facilitate the formation of condensate (on food, containers, etc. ). - The refrigerator compartment is equipped with convenient, removable shelves (Fig. 1) which can be adjusted for height using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even large containers and foodstuffs in the refrigerator. - The new system of "suspended trays" (Fig. 2) is moch more hygienic, plus convenient and practical as it offers better use of the freezer space; if you need nore quickly, place the trays on the bottom of the freezer. Fig. 2 To preserve meat, place the cover as indicated in Fig. To preserve cheese, overturn the cover and place it as indicated in Fig. This box is not supplied with some models. A B Freezing Foods Properly - For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult a specialized manual. - Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be refrozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours) or to freeze it once again. - When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properly. Please keep in mind that proper conservation of frozen foods depends on the speed with which they are frozen. - During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer. - The maximum daily quantity of food that can be frozen is indicated on the rating plate located to the left of the vegetable crisper. - In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recommended that you divide food into small portions so that they freeze quickly and uniformly. [. . . ] How to Defrost the Freezer - Every so often, remove the frost with the scraper provided with the appliance (do not use knives or metal objects). - If the frost is more than 15 mm thick, the freezer must be defrosted. 17 GB Is There a Problem?
