[. . . ] Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product. 2 IMPOR TANT S AFET Y INS TR UCTIONS These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure that you understand them all before installing or using this appliance. [. . . ] Small food items may even be cooked from frozen, in this case cooking will take longer. Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible, or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen. Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen. To Make Ice Cubes 1. Fill the ice cube tray ¾ full with cold water, place in the freezing compartment and leave to freeze. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds. Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment by using pointed or sharp edged objects. 10 Hints & T ips Normal Operating Sounds You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing. When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and out. Energy Saving Advice Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler or radiator. Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed. Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer. NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave a strong odour. External Cleaning Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption. When the Appliance is not in Use When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the door open to prevent unpleasant smells. Defrosting Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the applince. Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperetaure increases in the cooling chambers, they need more energy. At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling surface of the refrigerator is automatic without any external intervention. The termostatic control interrupts the operation of compressor at regular intervals for more or less time - during this cooling is interrupted - the temperature of the cooling surface goes above 0°C due to interior heating load of the compartment, so defrosting occurs. When the surface temperature of the cooling surface has reached +3 - +4°C the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system. 12 Melting water flows through defrost water outlet leaded through the back into the evaporator tray maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates due to its warmth. Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming during defrosting regularly - a label inside the appliance warns you for this. If it is clogged the melting water gathered can cause earlier failure as it can go to the insulating of the appliance. Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe scraper has to be stored in the outlet. The most typical case of clogging up in the melting water outlet when you put food wrapped in some paper into the appliance and this paper contacts back plate of the refrigerator and freezes to it. [. . . ] Do not forget to replace the plastic spacer (b) under the hinge. Be careful that the door edges are parallel with the edge of the mantle. Put over the handles (r) on the other side and put the plastic covering nails (p) supplied in the plastic bag of this instruction book into the holes set free. fig. 5) 20. Put the appliance to its place, set it level, and apply to voltage it. [. . . ]
