SN	+10°C to +32°C
N	+16°C to +32°C
ST	+16°C to +38°C
T	+16°C to +43°C

Location

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 100mm. 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

Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in the fridge 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.

Accessories: Movable Shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

Positioning the Door Shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door balconies can be placed at different heights. To make these adjustments proceed as follows: gradually pull the balcony in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required.

Hints for Freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:

1. The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hours, is shown on the rating plate.
2. The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period.
3. Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs.
4. Prepare food in small portions to enable to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required.
5. Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene ans make sure that the package are airtight.
6. Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter.
7. Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones, salt reduces the storage life of food
8. Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.
9. It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable tou removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.
10. It is advisable to show the freezing in date om each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for Storage of Frozen Food
