¥
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Use
¥
The domestic refrigerators and freezers are
designed to be used specifically for the storage
of edible foodstuffs only.
¥
Best performance is obtained with ambient temperature between +18¡C and +43¡C (class T);
+18¡C and +38¡C (class ST); +16¡C and +32¡C
(class N); +10¡C and +32¡C (class SN). The
class of your appliance is shown on its rating
plate.
Warning: when the ambient temperature is not
included within the range indicated for the class
of this appliance, the following instructions must
be observed: when the ambient temperature
drops below the minimum level, the storage temperature in the freezer compartment cannot be
guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use the
food stored as soon as possible.
¥
Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has
been thawed out.
¥
ManufacturersÕ storage recommendations should
be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.
¥
The inner lining of the appliance consists of channels through which the refrigerant passes. If these
should be punctured this would damage the appliance beyond repair and cause food loss. DO NOT

Useful hints for freezing
Thawing food
¥
Products to be frozen should be fresie and clean.
¥
Pack foods in suitable family portions which can
be used up all at once.
¥
Small packs allow fast and uniform freezing.
¥
Lean foods keep better and longer than fatty
foods. Salt reduces the storage life of food.
¥
Wrap foods closely in aluminium foil or plastic
bags or flim, and make sure they are properly
sealed.
Foods may be thawed in various ways, depending
on their type and the size of pack.
Meat, fish and fruit may be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment. Small pieces of meat may be cooked
from frozen. Vegetables thaw immediately in boiling
water. Pre-cooked dishes may be re-heated directly
in the oven in their container. Microwave ovens are
particularly suitable for defrosting all types of frozen
food. Follow the instructions supplied with the oven.
¥
Attach a label to each pack, indicating the
contents and the date on which it was prepared.
¥
Never piace hot foods, bottles or containers with
fizy drinks in the freezer (they could explode).
¥
Do not fili containers with lids right to the brim.
¥
Do not add more food or open the doors during
the freezing process.
¥
Never piace food to be frozen in contact with
already frozen food, as this would increase the
temperature of the latter.

each other.
Fitting the side panels
¥
When buying frozen foods, get them home and into
your freezer as quickly as possible. Packs which are
damaged or show traces of moisture indicate that
the product has not been stored at the correct
temperature and that the food may trave lost its
original quality.
Fit the brackets onto the panels in the positions
shown in the diagram. The dimension of 132 mm
is allowed for fitting a 100 mm plinth below the
