"Cleaning your appliance")

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions

 Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.  Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.  Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48h; flush the water system connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.  Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.  Two-star frozen-food compartments (if they are presented in the appliance) are suitable for storing

pre-frozen food, storing or making ice-cream and making ice cubes.

 One-, two- and three -star compartments (if they are presented in the appliance) are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.  If the appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance. ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS The electric connections must meet the applicable standards and be capable of withstanding the maximum power shown on the ID plate. The plug must be correctly earthed. We cannot be held liable for any incidents caused by improper electric installations. Advice on the electric installation • Do not use extensions, adapters or multiple plugs. • Never remove the earth. • The power plug must be easily accessible and out of the reach of children. If in doubt, refer to your reseller.

SpaceRequirement y Select a location without direct exposure to sunlight; y Select a location with enough space for the refrigerator doors to open easily; y Select a location with level (or nearly level) flooring; y Allow sufficient space to install the refrigerator on a flat surface; y Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower. y Keep at lest 50mm gap at two sides and back.

Positioning Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:

+10 o C to +32 o C N

The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet. To ensure best performance, if the appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance between the top of the cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 100 mm. Ideally, however, the appliance should not be positioned below overhanging wall units. Accurate leveling is ensured by one or more adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet. Warning! It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; 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. The appliance must be earthed. The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact for this purpose. If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed, connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance with current regulations, consulting a qualified electrician. The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed. This appliance complies with the E.E.C. Directives.

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in the freezer compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer. In this case, cooking will take longer.

Helpful hints and tips

Hints for freezing To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints: the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate; the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period; only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs; prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required; y wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight; y do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter; y lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food; y water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt; y it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt; y it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time. y y y y

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should: make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer; be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time; not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary. Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacture.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance: y Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator y Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour
