[. . . ] The appliance must be connected to the electrical mains and earthed in compliance with the relevant regulations and requirements. The appliance is able to withstand short fluctuations in voltage of no more than 15% less or 10% more than the rated voltage stated on the nameplate. If the power supply lead has to be replaced, this operation must only be carried out by an authorised Smeg technical service engineer. 3. 4 How to protect the quality of the wooden parts of your new product. In order to protect the wooden parts of your new refrigerator from natural aging processes (changes of colour, cracking, etc. ) or rule out structural problems, prevent it from being directly exposed to sunlight. Immediately wipe away any drops of water, steam or residue of liquids in general that may accidentally collect on the exterior surfaces, or the interior surface in the case of the door. The wooden parts of your new refrigerator are treated with water-base transparent varnishes that offer better protection in normal temperature and humidity conditions. So as to not jeopardize its structural planarity, it is advisable that you do not install your new refrigerator in an excessively damp room or a room that is too dry. 20 Instructions for the User 4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Refrigerator (A): compartment for storing fresh foods Freezer compartment (B): compartment for freezing frozen foods The various foods can be placed in the baskets provided. The bottom of the compartment has a channel (D) for collecting and draining the water generated by defrosting (see "Maintenance and Cleaning"). Control panel (C): external controls for regulating the freezer's operation 4. 1 Shelves each refrigerator comes complete with several shelves which can be set at different heights by placing them on the runners provided. Each shelf has a safety fitting to prevent it from being pulled completely out or accidentally removed. To remove it from the appliance, lift it at the back and extract it. 2 Red warning light: indicates that the temperature inside the freezer is higher than the temperature set. Goes out when the set temperature is reached; 3 Rapid freezing switch; 4 Freezer on/off switch; 5 Temperature regulator; 6 Freezer compartment temperature external thermometer. To turn on the freezer press the switch 1. If the green light is on, the freezer is working. Then set the thermostat using the regulator provided (4). To reduce the temperature in the freezer compartment, adjust the setting from " min" to "max. ". It is best to keep the regulator on a middle setting in normal operating conditions and only turn it to max for rapid freezing of the foods loaded. Settings close to the "min. " level are recommended if there is only a small amount of food in the freezer compartment. Important Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the door is opened affect the refrigerator's operating temperatures. 7. 2 Rapid freezing To activate this function press switch 3 described in section "7. Setting and selecting the freezer compartment operating temperature". If the orange light is on, the function has been activated. [. . . ] Wait for foods and drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them on the shelves; Open the door(s) as infrequently and for as short a time as possible to prevent the compartments from warming up too much; Clean the condenser (rear of the refrigerator) periodically to prevent the appliance from losing efficiency; On models equipped with intensive cooling and rapid freezing, do not leave these functions activated for longer than absolutely necessary; If the refrigerator is to be out of use for a long period, it is best to empty it and switch it off; Thaw frozen foods in the body of the refrigerator in order to exploit the cold stored in the frozen foods, which will be transferred to the refrigerator if this procedure is used. 9. 7 Operating noise The refrigerator and freezer are cooled by means of a compression system. In order to maintain the preset temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer sections, the compressor comes into operation in response to the level of cooling required, and may operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts up a humming sound will be heard, tending to drop in volume after a few minutes. Another normal refrigerator operating noise is a gurgling due to the coolant flowing through the pipes in the circuit. [. . . ]
