[. . . ] 1 Location Place the appliance away from all heat sources, such as: radiators, heating stoves, direct sunlight, etc. Best results are obtained with a room temperature ranging between +16°C and +32°C. For building-in instructions, see the relevant section. Electrical connection Before you plug the appliance into a mains supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to your home supply. A 6% fluctuation above or below the rated voltage is admissible. To adapt the appliance to other voltages, use a suitable autotransformer. It is essential that the appliance be connected to an efficient earth tap. For this purpose the supply cable plug incorporates a special earth contact. If the sockets of your domestic wiring system are not grounded, have the appliance connected to a separate ground wire by a qualified electrician in accordance with the existing safety regulations. The manufacturer declines to accept any liability should this safety rule not be observed. This appliance complies with the following E. E. C. Directives: - 73/23 EEC of 19. 2. 73 (Low Voltage Directive) and subsequent modifications; - 89/336 EEC of 3. 5. 89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive) and subsequent modifications.

Mount the freezer door on the left side and fix the lower hinge. 8 PR34 180° PR78 14 USE Operation - Temperature regulation Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise until reaching the desired position (beyond the «O» = stop position); the best position is between 3 and 4. The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (less cold) by rotating the thermostat toward lower settings or diminished (more cold) rotating the knob towards higher settings. However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on: room temperature; how often the door is opened; the quantity of food stored; location of appliance. To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to position «O». When the refrigerator is set for the coldest temperatures, with a high surrounding room temperature, it will probably be in constant operation, with consequent frosting of the back wall of the compartment. If this does occur, the knob should be set to obtain a slightly higher temperature. In this way the refrigerator automatically defrosts, with a considerable energy saving. D441 1. 9 1 2 3 Raw meat (of all types) should be stored in plastic bags. Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc. , should be well covered and can be placed on any grid.

D006 Storage of commercially frozen food To get the best out of your freezer, you should ensure that: D026 the products have been correctly stored by the retailer; you do not store products for longer than the time specified by the food manufacturer; avoid opening the door too frequently and when you do open it, leave it open only for as long as is strictly necessary. If the freezer has been out of use for some time, before putting the products in the compartment let the freezer run for at least two hours with the thermostat knob on max. [. . . ]
