Children and vulnerable people safety • • • • This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not carry out cleaning and user maintenance of the appliance without supervision. [. . . ] • A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped. • A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon). • A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if not packed. Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible. Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack. • • Hints for energy saving • Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary. • If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Periodic cleaning CAUTION!Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet. When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor. Clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap. 9 Defrosting the freezer CAUTION!Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life. About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set a lower temperature, in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation. A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top compartment. Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm. Switch off the appliance, or pull out the electrical plug from the wall socket. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place. Leave the door open and protect the floor from the defrosting water e. g. In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice with an ice scraper before defrosting is complete. [. . . ] Refer to the assembly instructions for the installation. Door reversibility 1.
