GETTING YOUR APPLIANCE READY FOR USE NOTICE After the appliance has been delivered, stand it in the upright position and wait approximately 3 hours before connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee that it operates properly. Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and baking soda. After plugging in an switching on at the socket, make sure the light is on inside the refrigerator compartment.
The rail 'D' (Fig. 2) is removable and therefore it can be positioned on any shelf depending on your particular needs. - The air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling because it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheese should be placed above the vegetable crisper. - Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum storage time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible for any extended amount of time.
How to use the freezer compartment... For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult a specialized manual. - Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be refrozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours) or to freeze it once again. - When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS - Install the Appliance Correctly This means that the appliance should be installed away from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room. - Correct temperature settings Set the refrigerator temperature to one of the middle settings. Very cold temperature settings will not only consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively cold temperatures may ruin vegetables and cheese.
CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch in your home). Defrosting WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit. Do not use mechanical devices or instruments other than those recommended by the manufacturer to speed up the defrosting process.
TROUBLESHOOTING Nothing works The appliance makes too much noise. Check that: · The mains switch in your home is on. · There has not been a power cut. · The plug is properly inserted in the socket and is switched on. · The socket is working; try another appliance in the socket to check. · The fuse in the plug is ok - if not replace it, (see ELECTRICAL CONNECTION). The gas refrigerant produces a slight noise even when the compressor is not running (this is not a defect).
