[. . . ] Under no circumstance should a damaged appliance be installed. In the event of damage please contact your retailer. s Installation s s s s s s s This appliance is heavy. It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way. Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. [. . . ] The size of each pack should be small enough to ensure that it is used in one go. Small packs freeze more quickly and uniformly and give better results. Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen. Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time. Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal. Stick a label on each pack showing the contents and date of freezing. This makes it easy to check storage times. The same information can be copied onto the record card in the door. Never place hot food, bottles or cans of fizzy drink in the freezer as they may explode. Containers with a lid must not be filled to the brim. Do not open the door unecessarily often or place extra fresh food in the freezer next to food which is already frozen as this could cause the temperature of the frozen food to rise and its quality and storage life to reduce. Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be re-frozen as cooked dishes. Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a cooked dish. 9 Defrosting Refrigerator The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance above the compressor, where it evaporates. Important To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge, periodically clean the water discharge hole in the centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of the refrigerator compartment behind the salad bin. Use the special cleaner provided which you will find already inserted into the discharge hole. Freezer When the frost has reached a thickness of up to 4 mm it can be removed using the ice scraper provided with the appliance. During this operation it is not necessary to disconnect the appliance from the mains and remove the food. Never use metal tools for this operation. For complete defrosting (once or twice a year) proceed as follows: 1. Turn the thermostat dial to the «OFF» position (O) and disconnect the appliance from the mains. Remove any food from inside the freezer and fridge, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool place. Leave the door open and insert the ice scraper under the channel in the centre of the lower part of the appliance, place a low-sided container beneath the scraper to collect the water. [. . . ] If these temperatures are exceeded i. e. . colder or warmer, then the appliance may not operate correctly. The appliance can be fitted next to other kitchen units as long as air can circulate freely (see Figure). It is important that the bottom grill is not obstructed as the air must circulate freely through this grill. [. . . ]
