BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR Your new appliance is a combined ventilated, no-frost fridge-freezer exclusively for domestic use. The great advantage of this appliance is that the refrigerator and freezer compartments are ventilated, therefore there is no ice or frost formation on the walls, thanks to the process described below. The cold is produced by an evaporator and distributed to the single compartments by means of a fan.
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.
