[. . . ] If the low temperature compartment is marked , it can also be used to freeze fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate. Note: In the event of a power cut, the low temperature compartment will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, it is advisable to avoid opening the compartment door during such periods. 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. • . Freezing fresh food (only in 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. • 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.

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. • Clean the inside of the low temperature compartment (where fitted) when defrosting. • Periodically clean the inside of the refrigerator compartment with a sponge dampened in warm water and/or neutral detergent. Rinse the interior and dry with a soft cloth. • Clean the outside with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products, scourers, stainremovers (e. g. acetone, trichloroethylene) or vinegar. . TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1. • Is the plug properly inserted in the socket?• Is the power cord in perfect condition?• Is the thermostat set to z (Stop)?Temperature inside the compartments is not low enough. • Is food obstructing proper door closure? [. . . ] If this is not possible, the following minimum distances must be respected: • 30 cm from coal or paraffin stoves; • 3 cm from electric and/or gas stoves. Fit the spacers (if supplied) on the rear of the condenser positioned at the back 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. Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated place, and ensure it is level, using the front adjustment feet if necessary. [. . . ]
