[. . . ] Ice lollies can cause frost/freezer burns if consumed straight from the freezer. It is dangerous to try and alter the specifications or modify this product in any way. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Refer to your local Service Centre, and always insist on genuine spare parts. Domestic Use The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only. [. . . ] Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter. Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions. It is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time. Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time. Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc. ) in the freezing compartment as they may burst. Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen. Maintenance Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation. Warning This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians. Defrosting Refrigerator compartment Defrosting the refrigerator compartment is automatic. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a container at the back of the appliance, above the motor compressor, where it evaporates. It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole. D037 42 Freezer compartment Remove the frost with a plastic scraper. Whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 5 mm complete defrosting should be carried out. 44 Installation Take utmost care when handling your appliance so as not to cause any damages to the cooling unit with consequent possible fluid leakages. During normal operation, the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance heat up considerably. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent. The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification: Climate classification SN N ST T for an ambient temperature of +10 to +32C +16 to +32C +18 to +38C +18 to +43C Positioning Unpack the cabinet and check that it is in good condition and free of any transport damage. Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight. For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown in Fig. 50 mm When the ambient temperature is not included within the range indicated for the class of this appliance, the storage temperature in the appliance cannot be guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use the food stored as soon as possible. Electrical connection Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the serial number plate correspond to your domestic power supply. Voltage can vary by 6% of the rated voltage. For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized auto-transformer must be used. Important The appliance must be earthed. [. . . ] These guarantee terms do not apply in the event of use for professional or equivalent purposes. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance is returned to the condition it was in before the defect occurred. Defective parts are replaced or repaired. Parts replaced free of charge become our property. [. . . ]
