ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

• The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen foods for the period of time indicated on packaging and for making ice cubes.
• Do not put fresh and warm food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in portions you will use in a single serving.
• For storing frozen foods, the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to be frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf's greater freezing power. Fast freezing shelves are the bottom drawers of the freezer compartment.
• While freezing food use the bottom drawer.

Some recommendations have been specified on pages 9, 10 and 11 for the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.
• The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.
• Clean the condenser with a broom at least twice a year. This will help you to save on energy costs and increase productivity.

!! The power supply must be disconnected.

Defrosting Your Freezer

• Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer, depending upon the length of time for which the door is left open or the amount of moisture introduced. It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form in places where it will affect the close fitting of the door seal. This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, encouraging continuous running of the compressor. Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor. It is not necessary to switch off the appliance for the removal of thin frost.
• For the removal of heavy ice deposits, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep cold. Defrosting will be most effective if carried out when the freezer is nearly empty and should be carried out as quickly as possible to prevent undue increase in temperature of the contents.
• Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. An increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting will shorten the storage life. If the contents are well wrapped and placed in a cool area they should keep for several hours.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.
• To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the freezer compartment.
• Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the packages have thawed out they should be eaten within 24 hours, or be cooked and re-frozen.
• After defrosting has finished, clean the inside of the appliance with a solution of warm water with a little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in the same way and reassemble. Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting number 3 before introducing the food back into the freezer.

TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF INSTALLATION POSITION

Transportation and changing of Installation position

• The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.
• During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong rope.

The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting.

• Before transporting or changing the installation position, all the moving objects (ie, drawer, Ice trays, ...) should be taken out or fixed with bands in order to prevent them from getting damaged.

!! Carry your freezer in the upright position.

Repositioning the door

• It is not possible to change the opening direction of your fridge door, if the door handles on your fridge are installed from the front surface of the door. It is possible to change the opening direction of the door on models without any handles.
• If the door opening direction of your fridge can be changed, you should contact the nearest Authorised Service to have the opening direction changed.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

If your refrigerator is not operating as expected, check the solutions listed below before calling an electrician or the after-sales service.

What to do if your refrigerator does not operate:

Check that:

• Your freezer is plugged in and switched on,
• The mains switch in your home is not switched off,
• The thermostat setting is in the “·” position,
• The socket is no longer functioning. To check this, plug in an appliance that you know is working into the same socket.

What to do if your refrigerator performs poorly:

Check that:

• You have not overloaded the appliance,
• The freezer thermostat setting is in the "1" position (if so, set the thermostat dial to a suitable value),
• The door is closed properly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough space for air circulation at the rear and side of the appliance.

If there is noise;

The cooling gas which circulates in the cooling circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. This is normal. If these sounds are different, check that:

• The appliance is well levelled,
• Nothing is touching the rear,
• Nothing on or in the appliance is vibrating.

Recommendations

• If the appliance is not used for a long time (for example during holidays), defrost and clean the refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
• To stop the appliance completely, unplug it at the mains socket (for cleaning and when the doors are left open).
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the nearest Authorised Service.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for home type use and can be used only at home and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use.

If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does not comply with these features, we emphasise that the producer and the dealer shall not be responsible for any repair or failure within the guarantee period.

Tips for saving energy

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance. Otherwise humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
4. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
5. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller, etc.) closed.
6. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
7. It is possible to store more food by removing the freezer shelf. Energy consumption is declared with maximum load and without the freezer shelf.
