Ambient temperature of use Temperature control adjustment Description Overview of the appliance Using the appliance Installation Daily use Useful tips and tricks Practical information Cleaning Repair

Ambient temperature of use Respect the climate classes indicated in the product information on the appliance's rating plate. You can use this to check the recommended temperature range of the room where the appliance is located: SN: Between 10 and 32°C N: Between 16 and 32°C ST: Between 16 and 38°C T: Between 16 and 43°C A multi-class appliance can handle the lowest and highest temperature of all classes covered. Using the appliance outside the recommended temperature range will lead to inferior performance and premature ageing. Temperature control adjustment For optimal use and energy savings, adjust the temperature control(s) of the appliance according to the ambient temperature of the room, in which it is being used, and respect the climate class. Refer to the product sheet to find out the climatic class associated with the minimum and maximum recommended ambient temperatures for the appliance as well as the temperature setting recommended for storing food under optimal conditions. The ambient temperature degrees T °C are given only as a guide. The set positions can be affected by the location of the appliance in the room, how often the door is opened or the amount of food inside. The temperature control position(s) may need to be changed to compensate for these factors. Examples of locations: - Unheated room in winter like a garage in a cold region. - Kitchen/lounge area with normal heating. - Room that is not air-conditioned in summer in a hot region.

Positioning Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance: Location The appliance should be installed away from heat sources, e.g. radiators, boilers, direct sunlight, etc. Make sure that air can circulate freely around the back of the appliance. To ensure optimum performance, if the appliance is positioned under a protruding wall unit, the minimum distance between the top of the appliance and the wall unit should be at least 100 mm. However, ideally the appliance should not be placed under a protruding wall unit. Precise horizontal alignment is enabled by one or more adjustable feet under the appliance. WARNING! It is possible to unplug the appliance from the mains socket. The plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation. Electrical connection Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to your domestic power supply. This appliance must be earthed. The power cord plug has an earthing contact. If the household electrical outlet is not earthed, connect the appliance to a separate earthed circuit conforming to current regulations. For this consult a qualified electrician. The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed. This appliance complies with European regulations.

Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish. Daily use Freezing fresh food
• The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deepfrozen food for a long time.
• Place the fresh food to be frozen in the lower compartment.
• The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.
• The freezing process lasts 24 hours. Do not add any other food to be frozen during this period. Storing frozen food When switching on for the first time or after a period of non-use, let the appliance run for at least 2 hours at maximum settings before putting food in its compartments.

Important! In the event of accidental thawing, for example if the power has been turned off for longer than the 'temperature rise' time indicated in the technical specifications, the thawed food should be eaten quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after being cooked). Thawing Before eating, frozen or deep-frozen foods can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature depending on the time available for this operation. Small foods can even be cooked while still frozen and straight out of the freezer. In this case, cooking will take longer. Description of defrosting The fridge-freezer combination is automatically defrosted. Useful tips and tricks Freezing tips To get the most out of the freezing process, take note of the following important tips:

• The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No other food to be frozen should be added during this period.
• Freeze only fresh, excellent quality and perfectly cleaned food.
• Divide the food into small portions that can be quickly and completely frozen, so that only the required quantities can be thawed later.
• Wrap food in aluminium foil or polyethylene film, and check that the packages are airtight.
• Do not leave fresh and thawed food in contact with already frozen food to avoid an increase in the temperature of the frozen food.
• Lean foods keep better and longer than fatty foods. Salt reduces the storage time of food.
• Ice cubes, if consumed immediately after removing from the freezer compartment, can cause skin burn due to the cold.
• It is advisable to indicate the date of freezing on each individual package to allow you to know its storage time. Frozen food storage tips To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
• Check that frozen foods sold in stores are properly stored by the retailer.
• Be sure to transfer frozen foods from the shop to your freezer as quickly as possible.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, foods deteriorate rapidly and must not be re-frozen.
• Do not exceed the storage time indicated by the food manufacturers.

Fresh food storage tips For top performance:

• Do not store hot food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
• Cover or wrap foods, especially foods with a strong odour. Refrigeration tips Useful tips:
