The appliance should not be located in places with maximum temperatures more than: + 32°C for N/SN Class (classification on rating plate). + 43°C for T/ST Class (classification on rating plate). If the temperatures are higher than those mentioned above, the functioning and the safety of the appliance could be affected. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Cleaning the interior Do not use alcohol or any cleaning produts containing alcohol because they could damage the plastic parts of the appliance. Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior with luke warm water and a neutral soap. This will help to remove the typical smell of a new fridge/freezer. Afterwards dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents or abrasive powders as these will damage the finish. Remove security elements used for transportation. Fig. 4 Electrical connection mBefore plugging the appliance into a socket make sure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to your home supply. (see fig. 5).

Setting 7 will give you the maximum freezing temperature. For normal use set the freezer at a middle setting (The exact setting will depend on your usage of the freezer). 4 Fast Freeze 2 The door alarm If either of the doors is left open for a prolonged period of time the door alarm will start to beeb and a red flashing light will go on.

If you havent pressed the button prior to purchasing your food you can of course put your new purchases in, but it will take longer for the freezer to cool down. (If you put a lot of fresh food into your freezer you could cause the temperature alarm to go on. For further information see sention on temperature alarm). 5 On/Off button 3 Temperature alarm If the internal temperature has risen significantly the temperature alarm will sound and the light will start to flash. To switch the alarm off simply press the temperature alarm button. This will stop the buzzer and the red light will stop blinking and remain red. The temperature alarm may go on because: a.- The doors have been left open. b.- There has been a power failure. c.- More than the recomended amount of food has been put in at one time. d.- You need to set the temperature controls to a colder position. If the alarm goes on constantly you should contact you TECHNICAL OFICIAL SERVICE. To make the product work press the ON/OFF button continuosly for 3 seconds.

If the ON/OFF button is green the freezer knob and fridge knob will also be lit up. 6 Fridge control Setting the knob to the standby position when the freezer is working, but the fridge if not being used, (for example when you go on holiday), will help you to reduce energy consumption. The fridge door however must be kept closed. By turning the knob clockwise you will progressively cool down the fridge. Position 5 is the coldest setting possible. If neither the fridge nor the freezer are being used (i.e. The appliance switched off), both doors should be left open.

The bulb that should be used is: Osram Halolux T Klar/Clear E 14 socket Max 25 watts Product number: 64 860 T (see fig. 10). 1 halogen bulb 25W Fig. 10 25 How to use your Fridge-Freezer Freezing compartment This freezer, marked , is suitable for freezing food and permits long term storage of frozen food. Once re-established: A) If the freezer is fully loaded and the power failure is less than the time indicated on the «Rating Plate» no damage has been done to the food. B) If the freezer is not fully loaded the temperature will rise more quickly. If thawing has not started proceed as in point A. C) If the temperature has risen sufficiently the temperature alarm will sound and the temperature indicator will blink. You should: Check that the doors are shut. If they are not, you will hear also the door alarm. Check that you havent overloaded the fridge/freezer with a large amount of new food. Check that there hasnt been a long power cut. Check that the fridge/freezer appears to be working properly and isnt broken. You should switch the alarm off by pushing the appropriate button. If it continues to come back on it is likely that there is a problem with the product. Advice then to the Technical Oficial Service.

The procedure for this is as follows: 1... If the freezer has been disconnected and is empty, plug it an and leave for 3 hours before putting any food in. By pressing the fast freezer button 24 hours before freezing you will help cool down the freezer quicker. If the temperature alarm goes on see the earlier section on the temperature alarm. 2... It is possible that the temperature alarm will sound if a lot of new food is put in with existing food. This is due to a slight rise in temperature. The alarm will switch itself off automatically. Conserving frozen food To store Food properly the inside temperature should never rise above - 18°C. An ajustable temperature control regulates this temperature. Make sure the thermostat is on a medium setting. However, it may sometimes be necessary (due to poor ventilation, high room temperatures, frequent opening of doors) to regulate the setting of the thermostat. In the case of an accidental stoppage of the appliance or a power cut proceed as follows: Keep the doors closed at all times. Try to find out how long the loss of power will last for. 26 How to use your Fridge-Freezer Refrigerator Compartment: This compartment is designed to store drinks and fresh food.
