GETTING YOUR APPLIANCE READY FOR USE NOTICE After the appliance has been delivered, leave it to stand in its upright position for approximately 3 hours, before plugging it into the mains and switching on, to ensure proper performance. Use these average temperature settings to ensure optimum performance and to save energy. Before placing food in the refrigerator or freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and baking soda.
- The air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling because it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and fish 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. - Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store any longer than raw food.
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. This appliance defrosts automatically and the defrost water is channelled to the back toward the drain installed for this purpose (fig. 2).
TROUBLESHOOTING Nothing works. 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).
