Conformity declaration This appliance incorporates parts intended to come into contact with foodstuffs in compliance with EEC Directive 89/109/CEE. Information This appliance is free of CFC’s (refrigerant circuit contains R134a) or free of HFC’s (refrigerant circuit contains R600a - Isobutane). For more details, please refer to the rating plate on the appliance. [. . . ] Do not re-freeze thawed or partially thawed foods, but use them up within 24 hours or re-freeze after cooking. do not store liquids in glass containers. ADJUSTMENT OF THE TEMPERATURE PRODUCTION OF ICE CUBES 3/4 fill the ice cube trays, and store in the low temperature compartment. If the tray sticks to the compartment, do not try to detach it with sharp or cutting instruments, which could damage the appliance, but use the handle of a spoon. Attenion: Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after their removal from the low temperature compartment, as they may cause cold burns. The thermostat (see figure) controls the temperature inside the appliance. Position q means that the operation of the appliance is interrupted (the interior light is off). To obtain the best storage of foods, we suggest you adjust the thermostat control knob to position 4. To obtain colder temperatures in the compartment, set the thermostat control knob to the higher settings. If the temperature in the compartment is too cold, turn the thermostat control knob to the lower setting (position 1). Internal temperatures are affected by the location of the appliance, the temperature of the surrounding air, the frequency of door opening. The setting of the thermostat may have to be varied to allow for these factors. Experience will help you in finding the position best suited to your needs. STORAGE OF FROZEN FOODS When buying commercially frozen foods, make sure that wrapper or packets is intact. If it bulges or sags or has spots of moisture on it, it may not have been kept cold enough and the contents may have lost their original quality. When home, store commercially frozen foods in the low temperature compartment , with the least possible delay, as any appreciable rise in temperature may alterate their freshness. Store commercially frozen foods no longer than the packet instructions recommend. uSE OF THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT (Fig. 7) The temperature inside the compartment differs dependent on the section. The coldest section is immediately above the glass separator and near the rear wall. All items stored in the refrigerator compartment should be wrapped in aluminium or plastic sheetings or kept in a cover-ed container. This prevents food from becoming dry on the surface and stops strong smells and flavours being passed from one food to another. [. . . ] - If the appliance is provided with a compartment, periodically clean it from excessive frost; defrost when the layer on the walls reaches a 3mm thickness. Close it as soon as you have removed food. - Do not overload the refrigerator: let air circulate freely inside it. - Do not adjust the thermostat control knob to an excessive cold position: you will waste energy.
