As internal temperatures are affected by the location of the appliance, the ambient temperature and the frequency of the lid opening, we suggest you the following: − Initially set the thermostat knob to position between 2 and 3 and then reposition it according to your requirements. − In position A Important − Do not load warm food into your freezer. − Do not store sealed bottles of fizzy drinks into the freezer as the may explode. DEFROSTING AND MAINTENANCE Because the lid is not opened frequently and the food is stored in sealed packs, the rate of frost build-up is very slow. Frost reduces the efficiency of the freezer, so we suggest you defrost when it is 3 - 4 mm thick approx. To defrost, proceed as follows: − 24 h prior to defrosting, switch on the fast freeze facility so that food will be at a very low temperature when you remove it from the freezer. After the aforesaid time: − Disconnect the appliance from the mains. − Remove the packets, wrap them in several layers of newspaper and place them in the low temperature compartment of your refrigerator. Alternatively, place them in a carboard box in a cold place. − Remove the plug from the hole at the bottom of the liner using the plastic scraper, if necessary, (Fig. 4) and place the separator under the cabinet (Fig. 3) to collect the defrost water, after having positioned the exterior plug (Fig. − Leave the lid open.  # Attention For very high ambient temperatures, adjust the thermostat to warmer positions (towards 1). For very low ambient temperatures, adjust the thermostat to colder positions (towards ). # STORAGE OF FOODS − Group products according to categories, storing above food which have to be used first. − Do not exceed the load line (if fitted) so as to leave enough air flow between the lid and the packages. M Y N C GB For models equipped with rear drain, proceed as follows: A) Remove the plug/drain (Fig. 5) situated on the bottom of the rear wall.
