2. Disconnect the harness.

4. Lift the door and place it on a soft

pad. Then remove the other door following the same steps.

5. Unscrew bottom hinges.

6. After the appliance is positioned, install the doors following the steps above

in reverse order. Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated room. The installation location should neither be exposed to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. To ensure adequate ventilation for the appliance, allow 50 mm of space between the back of the refrigerator freezer and the wall and at least 50 mm of space from the side to the wall, a height of over 50 mm from its top. PSBS946SL IB.indd 69PSBS946SL IB.indd 69 11/7/2022 2:57 PM11/7/2022 2:57 PM70 Adjust the feet to keep the refrigerator freezer level.

This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperature between 10°C and 38°C. If these temperatures are exceeded, i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. If the ambient temperatures are exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer compartment will rise above -18°C and food spoilage may occur. Before placing food in the appliance

• Remove all packaging.

• Allow the appliance to run empty for 2 – 3 hours so the compartment can cool to the appropriate temperature.

• Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust. Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of fresh food is a temperature less than or equal to +4°C.

• Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food.

• Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.

• Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in the compartment.

• To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.

• It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.

• Do not place hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled down at room temperature before placing it inside the appliance. Hints for refrigeration

• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it in the refrigerator. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.

• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly (eliminate the soil) and place them PSBS946SL IB.indd 71PSBS946SL IB.indd 71 11/7/2022 2:57 PM11/7/2022 2:57 PM72 in the refrigerator.

• It is advisable not to keep the exotic fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas etc. in the refrigerator.

• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator.

• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.

• Bottles: close them with a cap and place them on the door bottle shelf.

• Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long to keep them.

Setting the Freezer Compartment Temperature Repeatedly press to set the desired temperature in the freezer compartment in a cycle of -14°C, -16°C, -18°C, -20°C, -22°C. The temperature will be confirmed after flashing for 5 seconds. NOTE: You can adjust the freezer compartment temperature in a user defined mode. Setting a mode You can repeatedly press to select the desired operating mode from the following options : ECO – Super freezing – User defined.

• When ECO mode is selected, the symbol will be lit.

• When Super freezing mode is selected, the symbol and fridge temperature symbol will be lit.

• When User defined mode is selected, you can adjust the temperatures of fridge and freezer compartments by pressing the buttons and

ECO mode Select this mode when you want to save power. Repeatedly press until the mode symbol flashes. After 5 seconds, PSBS946SL IB.indd 73PSBS946SL IB.indd 73 11/7/2022 2:57 PM11/7/2022 2:57 PM74 the appliance has entered ECO mode and the ECO mode symbol is lit steadily on the display. The temperature display for freezer and fridge will change based on ambient temperature. To deactivate this mode, repeatedly press until the mode symbol diappears from the display. The temperature display for fridge and freezer compartments will return to the previous setting. Super freezing mode This mode will help food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance. Repeatedly press until the mode symbol flashes. After 5 seconds, the appliance has entered Super freezing mode and the Super freezing mode symbol is lit steadily on the display. The appliance will automatically adjust the temperature in the freezer compartment to the coldest level -25°C.

• This mode will be automatically deactivated after 50 hours of operation.

• To manually deactivate this mode, repeatedly press until no mode symbol appears on the display. NOTE:

• If you plan to freeze a large quantity of fresh food at the same time, it is recommended that you set Super freezing mode 24 hours ahead.

• In Super freezing mode, the appliance will work hard, which means the running noises will be slightly louder than during normal operation. Power failure If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be aected if the power failure lasts for less than 9,5 hours. Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat. PSBS946SL IB.indd 74PSBS946SL IB.indd 74 11/7/2022 2:57 PM11/7/2022 2:57 PM75 Freezing and storing food in the freezer compartment Using the freezer compartment

• To store deep-frozen food

• To freeze food Note: Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly. Purchasing frozen food

• Packaging must not be damaged.

• Use by the ‘use by/best before/best by/’ date.

• If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment. Storing frozen food Store at -18°C or colder. Avoid opening the freezer compartment door unnecessarily. Freezing fresh food Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching. Note: Keep food to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

THE COLDEST PART OF THE REFRIGERATOR

The symbol indicates the location of the coldest part of your refrigerator. This area is in between the vegetable compartment at the bottom and the symbol at the top, or the shelf at the same height. In order to maintain the temperature in this area, make sure not to change the position of this shelf. In forced air refrigerators (equipped with a fan or No Frost models), the coldest area symbol is not shown because the temperature is uniform throughout the interior.

INSTALLING THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

To help you adjust your refrigerator correctly, it is equipped with a temperature indicator that you can use to control the average temperature in the coldest area.

WARNING : This indicator is only intended for use in your refrigerator. Do not

use it in another refrigerator (as the coldest area will not be the same) or for any other purpose. TEMPERATURE INDICATOR : THE COLDEST PART OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR PSBS946SL IB.indd 88PSBS946SL IB.indd 88 11/7/2022 2:57 PM11/7/2022 2:57 PM89 CHECKING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE COLDEST AREA Using the temperature indicator, you should regularly check that the temperature is correct in the coldest part of your refrigerator. The temperature inside your refrigerator depends on a number of factors, such as the outside room temperature, how full your refrigerator is, and how often you open the door. Take these factors into consideration when adjusting your appliance. When the indicator shows “OK”, it means your thermostat is set properly and the temperature inside your refrigerator is correct. If the indicator is white it means the temperature is too high, so you should increase the thermostat setting and wait for 12 hours before checking the indicator again. After loading the refrigerator or opening the door, the indicator may turn white for a few seconds. Correct setting Temperature too high, adjust the thermostat PSBS946SL IB.indd 89PSBS946SL IB.indd 89 11/7/2022 2:57 PM11/7/2022 2:57 PMPSBS946SL IB.indd 90PSBS946SL IB.indd 90 11/7/2022 2:57 PM11/7/2022 2:57 PMPSBS946SL IB.indd 91PSBS946SL IB.indd 91 11/7/2022 2:57 PM11/7/2022 2:57 PMPSBS946SL IB.indd 92PSBS946SL IB.indd 92 11/7/2022 2:57 PM11/7/2022 2:57 PM
