[. . . ] Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break. The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located within the freezer (for example: Kg/24h: 4). [. . . ] Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the red ALARM and green POWER indicator lights illuminate (the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob must not be on ). Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: Pull the plug out of the socket The appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully. The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance. The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly. If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open. Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost the appliance as these may damage the refrigeration circuit beyond repair. If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. After 24 hours set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob on , which will switch the refrigerator off. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place. This can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water in the freezer compartment. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to lead the water outside: let the water flow into a container (see diagram). This appliance complies with the following Community Directives: - 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments; -89/336/EEC of 03. The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use. The appliance must be used to store and freeze food products by adults only and according to the instructions in this manual. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms. Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or moist hands and feet. Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns. [. . . ] Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. The internal temperature will increase and force the compressor to work harder and will consume more energy. A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more difficult and results in increased energy consumption. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (see Maintenance). [. . . ]
