[. . . ] Before calling for service/assistance in the case of malfunction, consult the chapter entitled “Is There a Problem?Do not try to repair the problem by trying to access the internal components of the appliance. If damaged, the power supply cord on this appliance must necessarily be replaced by our service centre because special tools are required for replacement. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment for food storage, if these are not those recommended by the manufacturer. [. . . ] After a few hours have passed, you can place fresh food in the refrigerator compartment and frozen foods into the freezer. The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance 1 = less cold 5 = colder It is recommended that a medium setting be used. To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator compartment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on whether the compressor is operating or not at a given time. If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient temperature high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically. Storing Food in the Refrigerator Compartment Food Wrapped meat and cleaned fish (use plastic wrap or pack in plastic bags) Fresh cheese Eggs Butter, margarine Cooked or precooked food (placer in air-tight containers and in refrigerator) when cool store 3 or 4 days Storage Time 2 or 3 days 3 or 4 days 1 month Location in the Refrigerator On the shelf above the vegetable crisper (which is the coldest area).

What Not to Store in the Refrigerator Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks. - Within the refrigerator compartment, the air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling because it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses should be placed above the vegetable crisper. - Do not Overfill To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously. - Close the Doors Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the temperature to the proper level again, the motor must work for a long time, consuming energy. - Keep an Eye on the Seals Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to the door. - No Hot Foods A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the refrigerator. - Defrost the Freezer Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer and immediately defrost it if the layer of frost is too thick.
