[. . . ] 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. Installation ¥ 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. [. . . ] Wait until the temperature warning light (E) goes out, thus showing that the proper temperarture has been reached. To stop the appliance, turn the thermostat knob to position Ç0È. Temperature regulation The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob towards minimum or reduced (colder) by rotating the knob towards maximum. However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mina that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on: room temperature; how often the door is opened; the quantity of food stored; location of appliance. A medium setting is generally the most suitable. To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to position Ç0È. Important When electrical current happens to be cut off, the freezer door must not be opened. If the power failure is short (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer is full, there is no risk that the food will spoil. If the power failure lasts longer, the food must be consumed as rapidly as possible, or otherwise cooked and re-frozen again. Note On the inner door you will find a list of foods followed by a number. These numbers indicate the maximum period of time for which the food in question may be conserved (in months). Fast freezing For fast-freezing, turn the N/S knob (B) to position ÒSÓ. The fast freeze light (D) will come on. Frozen food storage When the freezer is being turned on for the first time, or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the N/S knob to the Quick-freezing position and then wait at least two hours before introducing the food to be conserved. You may then return the knob to the ÇNÈ position. This two-hour waiting period may be avoided if the freezer has already been in operation. Warning light Warning light (E) lights up when the temperature inside the freezer compartment has increased to a value which might endanger the long-term storage of food in the compartment. Do not consume certain products (popsicles, etc. ) immediately after removing them from the freezer, because their extremely low temperature might cause burns. Indicate the freezing date on every sack or container as a means of controlling conservation times. Never open the freezer door or introduce new foods to be frozen whenever a Quick-freezing phase is already in progress. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ Hints for storage of frozen food ¥ Always check the preparation date indicated on the frozen foods you buy and respect the expiration time provided by the producer. Do not open the freezer door too often and leave it open only for the minimum time necessary. Unnecessary increases in temperature will notably reduce the duration of the frozen food conservation. Make sure that all frozen food packages are intact; otherwise the food may trave spoiled. If such packages present signs of swelling or humidity marks, this means that the food has not been conserved correctly, implying that the product has lost some of its original quality. When buying frozen foods, carry them in a thermally insulated shopping bag whenever possible. In any case, always purchase frozen foods at the end of your shopping. Wrap the frozen foods in newspaper and then put them into the freezer as soon as you arrive home. [. . . ] Fit the spacers into the slots, taking care to ensure that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in the figure. Next, turn them through 45¡ (arrow in vertical position) until they lock into place. 45° A Door reversal Unplug the appliance before all operations. To reverse the door, proceed as follows: 1. dismantle the lower hinge (3), pin (1) and the screw (2); 2. [. . . ]
