[. . . ] Before starting the appliance, follow the installation instructions (see Installation). Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the internal light illuminates. Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers and food. [. . . ] € Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored above the grill in the freezer compartment and if possible be in direct contact with the walls (side and rear), where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing. € 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 on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4). € In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the evaporator plates. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced.

It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on 0 (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact. Defrosting the freezer compartment Remove frost regularly using the special scraper provided. If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance. General safety • 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. € The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. 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. € When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable. € Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. [. . . ] Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not place it near heat sources. € Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy. € 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. [. . . ]
