BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE Your new appliance is a combined fridge-freezer exclusively for domestic use. The freezer compartment can be used for freezing fresh and cooked food, making ice cubes, and storing frozen food. Defrosting the freezer is a manual procedure. The refrigerator compartment, which has an automatic defrost feature, is used for the storage of fresh food and beverages.
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS • • • • • • • • • Use the refrigerator compartment only for storing fresh food and beverages and use the freezer compartment only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes. Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the appliance. Do not store liquids in glass containers in the freezer compartment - danger of bursting. Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer compartment - risk of "cold" burns.
HOW TO OPERATE THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT To adjust the temperature, follow the instructions in the accompanying chart. To switch off the refrigerator compartment: • • • Do not place hot food in the refrigerator. Store liquids in closed containers. Storing vegetables with high water content can cause condensate formation in the crisper: this will not affectthe refrigerator's efficiency. Press the refrigerator compartment "ON" button again (1).
HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT How to operate: 1. 24 hours before freezing fresh food, press the fast freeze button (7) (for about 2 seconds in electronic models). The yellow LED (8) switches on and remains switched on for the entire period (24h). 2. Wrap and seal the food in: aluminium foil, cling film, non-permable plastic wraps, polythene containers with lids, freezer containers. 3. Place food in the top compartment, leaving enough space for air to circulate around packages.
HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT Making ice cubes • • . Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 with water and place it at the bottom of the freezer compartment. To speed up the ice making process, place the tray at the bottom of the first drawer (as shown in the figure) and not on the ice pack rack (if provided). Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the ice tray if it is stuck to the shelf.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the mains. • Clean the inside of the freezer compartment when defrosting. • Periodically clean the inside of the refrigerator compartment with a sponge dampened in warm water and/or neutral detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasives. • Clean the outside with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use abrasive products or scouring pads, stain removers (e.g. acetone, trichloro-ethylene) or vinegar.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE 1. The appliance is not working. • Is there a power failure? • Is the plug properly inserted in the socket? • Is the electric power supply switched on? • Has the fuse blown? • Is the power cord in perfect condition? • Is the thermostat set to z (Stop)? • Are buttons 1 and 4 pressed? 2. Temperature inside the compartments is not low enough.
INSTALLATION • • • • • • • Install the appliance away from heat sources. Place the appliance in a dry, well ventilated place. Make sure that the appliance is level. Adjust the front feet if necessary. Leave at least 5 cm clearance above the appliance. The sides of some models are extended at the rear so the appliance can be placed against the rear wall. Otherwise, fit the spacers (if supplied) on the upper part of the condenser at the rear of the appliance.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION For Great Britain only The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE - “NEUTRAL” (“N”) BROWN - “LIVE” (“L”) GREEN AND YELLOW - “EARTH” (“E”) 1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or by the Earth symbol 4 or coloured green or green and yellow. 2. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured black. 3.
