[. . . ] Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been thawed out. Manufacturers' storage recommendations should be strictly adhered to. There are working parts in this product which heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. [. . . ] Wherever possible the back of the product should be against a wall. Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, be sure to switch off and unplug the appliance. If the appliance has been transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor. GB The inner lining of the appliance consists of channels through which the refrigerant passes. If these should be punctured this would damage the appliance beyond repair and cause food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Frost may be removed by using the scraper provided. Under no circumstances should solid ice be forced off the liner. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance. Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer as it creates pressure on the container, which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the appliance. Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed straight from the appliance. Remove the rear screws (A) which secure the worktop (1) and remove it. Unscrew the top hinge (2) and pin (3) and fit them on the opposite side. Unscrew foot (7) and replace it on the opposite side. Refit the door and bottom hinge (using the holes provided). Remove the handle (4) and refit it on the opposite side (the finishing holes are already provided). 7 D054 A 1 2 3 4 5 6 27 USE Operation - temperature regulation Turn the thermostat dial clockwise to the required position (beyond the «O» position); the intermediate setting is generally the most suitable. The temperature is automatically regulated; it can be increased by turning the dial towards the lower numbers and vice versa. When selecting the correct position, remember that the internal temperature depends on the following factors: ­ ambient temperature; ­ how often the door is opened; ­ the amount of food stored; ­ where the appliance is installed. To switch off, turn the dial until it coincides with the «O» symbol. D040 GB Movable wire shelves The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired. Ice cube production The refrigerator is equipped with one or more ice cube trays, which should be filled with drinking water and placed in the special compartment. Do not use metal implements to detach the trays. Storing chilled foods The refrigerator compartment is suitable for chilling food and drinks. For best results, it is important to follow the rules below: do not put hot food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; cover or wrap all foods (especially spicy or strong-smelling foods); do not cover the shelves with paper, card or protective plastic sheeting which would prevent air from circulating through the grilles. We also recommend the following: cooked foods, cold dishes, jelly, etc. : should be well covered and may be placed on any shelf in the refrigerator; fruit and vegetables: should be washed and then placed in the salad box at the bottom of the refrigerator; butter and cheese: should be placed in suitable containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or plastic film to avoid drying out; milk in bottles: should be well capped and placed in the door compartment; raw meat (beef, pork, lamb, poultry): should be wrapped in plastic bags and placed in the special meat box or on the top shelf immediately below the evaporator. [. . . ] Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic should not be placed in the refrigerator unless pre-packed. Defrosting During normal operation, the evaporator in the refrigerator compartment will gradually become covered with frost. This frost is a thermal insulator which inhibits cooling and must therefore be removed, otherwise there will be a significant reduction in cooling efficiency and an increase in electricity consumption. To defrost, proceed as follows: Turn the thermostat knob to the «O» setting. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly and turn the thermostat knob to the required setting. [. . . ]
