User manual SINGER 412U541B

[. . . ] It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refrigerate and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use contained in this manual. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet or with wet hands or feet. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension cords or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is installed between cabinets, make sure that the cord is not bent or dangerously pinched or compressed. [. . . ] Motor protection delay This model is provided with a motor protection control system. Therefore, if the compressor does not start immediately upon installation, do not worry as it will start automatically after approximately 8 minutes. This is also what will happen every time the power supply is interrupted, both due to a power failure or should you switch it off yourself (to clean or defrost your freezer, for example). The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance 1 = less cold optimal temperature at low consumption levels 5 = colder When the fridge compartment is filled up after a heavy shopping spree, use the Quick Cool function (press button "A" to enable it) in order to reach optimum operating conditions quickly. Once the necessary time has elapsed, the function is disabled automatically. Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will deteriorate quite quickly. Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer than fresh food. The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is fitted with practical removable shelves (Fig. Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the compressor to work harder and use more energy. Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in the refrigerator. To use the cold cuts/cheese box, unhook it and remove it from the shelf. This precaution will slow the rise in temperature within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for approximately 9-14 hours. Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze. WARNING: to avoid blocking the air circulation inside the refrigerator, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers. Ice trays This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent. The fact that they are situated on the inner door of the freezer compartment ensures greater ergonomics and cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided). To remove the ice trays from their housings, push the tray upwards and then pull it out (fig. To put the tray back in place, insert the top part into the special housing and, once in a vertical position, just let it drop into place. 4) Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed it: inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes. If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray and re-fill it with water. Once you have filled the ice tray up with water through the hole indicated, turn it by 90 °. [. . . ] Cleaning and maintenance of the parts Before cleaning your refrigerator, set knob “F” to position “ “ and then unplug the appliance. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the formation of odours that are difficult to remove. - Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge soaked with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent. [. . . ]
