Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the appliance. Do not store liquids in glass containers in the low temperature compartment - danger of bursting. [. . . ] Note: In the event of a power failure, the low temperature compartment maintains the correct storage temperature. However, avoid opening the compartment door during this period. Making ice cubes • • • . Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full of water and place it in the low temperature compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the ice tray if it is stuck to the shelf. Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes. Freezing fresh food (in the compartment only) Important • Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or special freezer containers. • Arrange the fresh food in the upper area of the low temperature compartment leaving sufficient space around each pack for the air to circulate. • For most efficient freezing, set the thermostat half a notch back towards the lower numbers when food items are inserted into the low temperature compartment. • The food will be completely frozen in 24 hours. 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). Avoid packages that are swollen or show evidence of damp areas indicating that the food may have thawed partially during its period of storage. • When shopping, leave frozen food purchases till last and transport the products in a thermally insulated bag. Disconnect the appliance from the mains. Leave the door open to prevent oxidation and the formation of mould and unpleasant odours. • Clean the low temperature compartment interior (if present) during the defrosting operation. • Periodically clean the inside of the refrigerator compartment with a sponge moistened with warm water and/or neutral detergent. • Clean the outside with a soft cloth moistened with water. Do not use abrasive products, scouring pads, stain removers (e. g. acetone, trichloro-ethylene) or vinegar. . TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE 1. • Is the plug properly inserted in the socket?• Is the mains power switch set to ON?• Is the power cord in perfect condition?• Is the thermostat set to l (Stop)? [. . . ] Installation in a hot environment, direct exposure to the sun or installation near heat sources (heaters, radiators, cookers) will increase power consumption and should therefore be avoided. If this is not possible, the following minimum distances must be respected: • 30 cm from coal or petroleum stoves; • 3 cm from electric and/or gas cookers. Fit the spacers provided on the condenser at the rear of the appliance (see figure). To optimize appliance efficiency, leave a 5 cm gap above the appliance and make sure that adjacent kitchen units are sufficiently distanced to allow air circulation. [. . . ]
