[. . . ] Packing • The packaging material is entirely recyclable, and marked with the recycling symbol. • Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc. ) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous. Appliance • The appliance is made using recyclable materials. Dispose of the appliance in conformity with local environmental regulations. [. . . ] • Arrange the fresh food in the top compartment, leaving sufficient space around each pack for the air to circulate. For optimum freezing, turn the thermostat down by half a point when placing fresh foods in the freezer compartment. The food will be completely frozen in 24 hours. • Always observe the storage information on the package. Making ice cubes Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the low temperature compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if it is stuck to the low temperature compartment bottom. Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes. • For appliances with compartments marked • • Important Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food. Freezing fresh food (only in compartments ) marked • • • • The table alongside shows the recommended maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods. When purchasing frozen food products: Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun. When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag. Place the items in the low temperature compartment as soon as you get home. If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package. MONTHS FOOD 14 4gb33003. fm5 Page 15 Thursday, March 1, 2001 9:45 AM How to defrost and clean the refrigerator Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply. Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates. Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the tool supplied with the appliance in order to ensure defrost water is removed correctly. Defrosting the low temperature compartment Defrost the low temperature compartment once or twice a year or when the ice formation is excessive. The amount of ice which forms and the rate at which it accumulates will depends on room temperature and humidity, and on the frequency with which the door is opened. Ice formation is concentrated at the top of the compartment and does not affect the efficiency of the appliance. If possible, carry out defrosting when the compartment is nearly empty. • • • • • • • Remove the food from the low temperature compartment, wrap in a newspaper and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler. Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. [. . . ] Fit the spacers on the rear of the condenser positioned at the back of the appliance. A suitable alternative plug should then be fitted to the cable. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE - “NEUTRAL” (“N”) BROWN - “LIVE” (“L”) GREEN AND YELLOW “EARTH” (“E”) 1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or by the Earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. [. . . ]
