[. . . ] Any damage must be reported to the dealer within 24 hours of delivery of the appliance. Wait at least two hours before switching the appliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient. Installation and electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified technician according to the manufacturer’s instructions and in compliance with local safety regulations. Clean the inside of the appliance before using it. SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT 1. [. . . ] • Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer since they may cause cold burns. USE • Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning operation, unplug the appliance or disconnect it from the power supply. • All appliances equipped with an automatic icemaker and water dispenser must be connected to a mains water supply that delivers potable water only (with mains water pressure of between 0. 17 and 0. 81 Mpa (1. 7 and 8. 1 bar)). Automatic ice-makers and/or water dispensers not directly connected to the water supply must be filled with drinking water only. • Use the refrigerator compartment only for storing fresh food and the freezer compartment only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes. • Do not store glass containers with liquids in the freezer since they may burst. The Manufacturer declines any liability if the above advice and precautions are not respected. 5 • Make sure the voltage specified on the rating plate corresponds to that of your home. • Do not use single/multi adapters or extension cables. • For the water connection, use the pipe supplied with the new appliance; do not reuse that of the previous appliance. • Power cable modification or replacement must only be carried out by qualified personnel. • Avoid temperature variations as much as possible. Observe the “best before” date on the packaging. • Observe the instructions for preserving deepfrozen foods written on the packaging. How to make ice-cubes • Fill the ice-tray 3/4 full of water and place it in the bottom of the low temperature compartment. If the ice-tray sticks to the bottom, do not use pointed or sharp instruments to detach it. HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE LOW TEMPERATURE COMPARTMENT To maximise performance, defrost the low temperature compartment at least twice a year, or when the layer of ice on the walls reaches 3 mm thickness. Defrost the compartment when the contents are low. Open the door and take out all food items, wrapping them in newspaper and placing them together in a cool place or in an insulated bag. Leave the door open to allow the frost/ice on the compartment walls to melt. Clean with a sponge soaked in a solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent. Note: to avoid causing irreparable damage, do not use pointed or sharp metal instruments to scrape off ice and do not artificially heat the low temperature compartment. 7 60202027GB. fm Page 8 Wednesday, December 10, 2008 9:30 AM HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT Clean the refrigerator compartment regularly.
