The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.

5	Winter, or ambient temperature between 5-15 °C

ENERGY SAVINGS

For better energy savings, we suggest:

• Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a well ventilated room.
• Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature and therefore causing continuous functioning of the compressor.
• Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.
• Defrost the appliance in case there is ice (see DEFROSTING) to facilitate the transfer of cold.
• In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed.
• Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible
• Avoid adjusting the thermostat to temperatures too cold.
• Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance (see CLEANING).

AVOIDING NOISES

During its operation, the refrigerator emits some absolutely normal noises, such as:

• HUMMING, the compressor is running.
- RUMBLINGS, RUSTLINGS and HISSING, the refrigerant is flowing through the tubes.
- TICKS and CLICKS, the operation shutdown of the compressor.
Small measures to reduce the vibration noises:
- Containers touch each other: Avoid contact between containers and glass recipients.
- Drawers, shelves, bins vibrate: Check the proper installation of internal accessories.

NOTE:

The refrigerant gas produces noise even when the compressor is off; it is not a defect, it is normal.

If you hear a clicking sound inside the appliance, it is normal as due to expansion of the various materials.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Cleaning

NOTICE:

• Before each operation, remove the refrigerator plug from the power socket to prevent electric shocks.
• Do not pour water directly on the outside or inside of the refrigerator itself. This could lead to oxidation and damaging of the electrical insulation.

Freezing process can only occur in the compartments

2 - 3 MONTHS 4 - 6 MONTHS 6 - 8 MONTHS 10 - 12 MONTHS

Practical recommendations

Place food on the shelves in a homogeneous manner to allow air to circulate properly and to cool it.

• Avoid contact between the food and the far end walls of the refrigerator compartment.
• Do not introduce hot foods as they can cause deterioration of existing ones and increase energy consumption.
• Do not put in dishes or other containers unless previously washed.
• Do not obstruct the cold air ventilator openings with food.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment as they can burst when frozen.
• In the case of prolonged power outage, keep the doors closed so that foods remain cold as long as possible.
• The installation of the appliance in a hot and humid location, with frequent door openings and storing large amounts of vegetables can cause the formation of condensate and affect the performance of the unit itself.
  • To prevent excessive energy consumption, the frequent or prolonged opening of the doors is not recommended.

FREEZING

• Foods must be fresh.
• Freeze small amounts of food at a time in order to freeze quickly. Never exceed the maximum amount indicated on the rating label.
• During freezing, do not open the freezer door.
• Food must be sealed, airtight.
• Separate food to be frozen by those already frozen.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of frozen foods.
• Once defrosted, do not ever refreeze foods and consume them promptly.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

(static products without NO-FROST technology)

When the layer of frost present in the freezer compartment exceeds 3mm, it is recommended to proceed with the defrosting as it increases energy consumption.
