2. SAFETY INFORMATION AND GENERAL ADVICE

RECYCLABILITY

This appliance has been manufactured with the utmost concern for environmental aspects.

OLD APPLIANCE

- To prevent damage to the environment and to recover materials, please use your local council’s collection

service.

- Ensure that the refrigerating circuit is not damaged, as it may contain substances which affect the environment.

- Disable your old appliance:

1. Cut the mains cable.

2. Remove the door to prevent children from having easy access to the interior.

PACKAGING

- The materials used in the packaging are fully recyclable. (Cardboard, plastic, EPS, etc.).

- Do not throw the packaging away, select the different materials according to local requirements for

eliminating waste and in accordance with current law.

Warning:

Do not leave packaging materials within the reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous.

SAFETY

- This appliance does not contain CFC or HFC (The refrigerating circuit contains R600A - ISOBUTANE).

- Isobutane is a natural refrigerating gas which does not affect the environment, despite the fact that in certain cir-

cumstances it may present a risk if the appropriate steps are not taken.

- Therefore, during transit, installation and use, deterioration of the refrigeration system elements must be pre-

vented. If these elements are damaged in any way, flames or incandescent bodies must be avoided at all times.

- If the refrigerant is lost, prevent open flames or ignition sources near the leak point.

- Isobutane (R600A) is heavier than air, and therefore concentrates on the floor.

In the event of deterioration, the room where the appliance is located must be ventilated.

- The appliance must be installed by two people to prevent harm to people or objects.

- This appliance may only be repaired by the technical support service and using original spare parts.

- Do not use fire elements or electrical appliances inside the refrigerator.

- The appliance must be used exclusively for the domestic preserving and/or freezing of food.

- Do not use the foot plates, drawers, doors or grilles as a brace or support.

- Do not allow children to play with the appliance

- Do not handle the appliance with wet hands and/or feet or barefoot.

- Each grille or drawer can support a distributed load of 18 kg.

4. OPERATION AND USE OF THE APPLIANCE

The refrigerator which you have chosen allows fresh food to be preserved. If it has a low temperature compart-

ment, it can also preserve frozen food as well as freeze fresh food. (Please see the "FREEZING" section - page 9

TEMPERATURE REGULATION

The thermostat allows the temperature to be regulated gradually.

- The 0 /OFF position means interrupted operation of the appliance. (Turned off, the internal light is not working).

- The 1 or MIN position means minimum operation.

- The 7 or MAX position means maximum operation.

Do not forget that the regulation of the thermostat may vary according to room temperature, the amount of food

preserved, the location and how often the doors are opened.

ALARM INDICATOR

The increase in temperature in the preserving compartment may be caused by the following:

- Frequent and prolonged opening of the door.

- Freezing large amounts of food.

- High room temperature.

- An anomaly in the operation of the refrigerating system (in this case, contact your nearest technical support cen-

tre).

Attention: Before placing frozen food to be preserved or fresh food to be frozen into the freezer for the first time,

wait until the internal temperature has reached –18º C (The light indicator switches off).

Do not forget that the regulation of the thermostat may vary according to room temperature, the amount of food

preserved, the location and how often the doors are opened.

The most appropriate regulation for your needs will come with experience.

1 Thermostat Temperature regulation

2Green Light Indicator Freezer supplied with mains voltage.

3 Red Light Indicator The alarm system is connected when the temperature in

the compartment is above -12º C and can be detected

when the light indicator comes on.

4Yellow Indicator This comes on when the switch is connected in

the super position.

5 Super Switch This must be used to freeze food.

PRESERVATION OF FOOD

In the refrigerator, the temperature may vary according to the area.

The coldest areas are the ones immediately above the fruit and vegetable drawers, near the rear wall.

In the low temperature compartment, where it can reach –18º C, frozen food can be preserved for several months.

It is recommended that you regulate the thermostat to positions 4 or 5.

Preservation time for food depends primarily on the kind of food. This preservation time for frozen food is gener-

ally stated on the packaging. Never consume food whose sell-by date has expired; it may cause food poisoning.

A product which has begun to thaw must, under no circumstances, be refrozen and must be consumed as soon

as possible.

To preserve flavours, freshness, etc., well, we recommend that you wrap food in tin foil or cling film, or place it in

covered containers.

Each of the drawers and the cooling grilles can support a maximum distributed load of 20 kg.

The space inside the refrigerator may be organised in several ways by moving the grilles and shelves according to

requirements. To move the shelves, raise the rear part, pull forwards until the rear part comes out of the guides,

turn them downwards and remove them completely. Choose the desired positoin and position the shelf by follow-

ing the opposite procedure.

Attention:

Do not place glass containers in the low temperature compartment as they could

crack or break once their content has frozen. Do not place hot food in the refrigerator compartment.

Food which absorbs smells and flavours easily, liquids, and drinks with a high alcohol content must be hermeti-

cally sealed and kept upright.

FREEZING

- Avoid products to be frozen from coming into contact with products which have already been frozen.

- Always place dry containers in the freezer to prevent several containers from forming a single block when they

freeze.

- Prepare the food in portions to help with faster freezing.

- If your appliance is fitted with a Fast Freeze Switch, to freeze the maximum amount of food products indicated

on the technical data plate, follow the instructions below:

• Press the Fast Freeze switch 24 hours before freezing.

• To freeze food, place it directly on the cooling grille and once it has frozen, place it on the shelves with sliding

drawers appropriate for preservation.

• Do not open the door unnecessarily, but if you have to, open it as quickly as possible.

• Disconnect the fast freeze switch 26 hours after you have started freezing.

The "Superfrost" fast freeze yellow light indicator will turn off and the appliance will start up its normal energy-sav-

ing operation again.

• Small amounts of food (up to 2 kg) may be frozen without connecting the fast freeze, by placing them directly

into the drawer.

- If your appliance is NOT fitted with the Fast Freeze Switch, to freeze the maximum amount of food products indi-

cated on the technical data plate, please follow the instructions below:

• Turn the thermostat 24 hours previously to position 4 or 5.

• Spread the products out on the upper shelf and try not to open the door unnecessarily; if it is essential, open it

the minimum necessary.

• Twenty-six hours after the start of freezing, position the thermostat control in the desired position again.

49

HOW TO MAKE ICE CUBES:

- Fill up the trays three quarters full of water and place them in the low temperature compart-

ment.

- Once the water has frozen, you can remove the ice cubes by gently twisting the trays.

- If one of the trays when freezing becomes stuck to the base of the compartment, do not

attempt to unstick it with cutting or pointed objects, as they may damage the appliance. Use

wooden or plastic spatulas.

- Do not swallow ice cubes immediately after extracting them as they can cause cold burns.

HOW TO THAW FOOD

Not all food should be thawed the same way.

- If you have bought frozen food from a shop, follow the instructions on the packet.

- Vegetables must be cooked from frozen.

- Generally, prepared or pre-cooked food can be cooked from frozen.

- Meat and fish must be thawed slowly in the refrigerator for several hours.

If you have a microwave, you can significantly speed up the thawing process.

HOW TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE PROPERLY:

TIPS

- Do not open the freezer door too often to prevent the temperature inside the compartment from rising.

- Do not exceed the recommended preservation expiry date on the packaging of deep-frozen products.

- The amount of food to be frozen in one go must not exceed the freezing power value indicated on the features

plate.

- Always freeze food in a good condition.

- So that food does not dry out, wrap it in tin foil or cling film.

- Place a sticker on the wrapping indicating the content and the date of freezing.

- Do not let food to be frozen touch food which has already been frozen.

- Never refreeze thawed food.

- Do not store bottles with fizzy drinks or glass bottles containing liquids in the freezer as they may explode.

- Do not consume very cold ice cream or food as they may burn your mouth.

SUGGESTIONS FOR SAVING ELECTRICITY

- Do not install the appliance in places exposed to direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this requires a higher

energy consumption.

- Do not block the grille or openings for air circulation. For this, we recommend that you dust it once or twice a

year.

- Do not place hot food in the freezer.

- Open the freezer door only when necessary.

50

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before any cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the appliance either by unplugging it from the socket or by turn-

ing off the mains switch.

To disconnect the appliance from the mains, unplug it. When doing so, do not pull the appliance’s mains cable.

DEFROSTING

- If your refrigerator does not have a low temperature compartment, defrosting will occur automatically. During

defrosting, drops of water run down the back wall. The water, which passes along a channel, flows into the tray

situated in the compressor where it evaporates.

- If the refrigerator has a low temperature compartment, to reduce electricity consumption it is recommended that

you remove the excess frost (3 or 4 mm) from the inside and/or cooling grilles. The thawing process must be car-

ried out as quickly as possible as if the temperature of the food rises, the preservation period will decrease.

- You can use a plastic spatula to speed up the process, but under no circumstances use metal, sharp or pointed

objects (knives, forks, metal spatulas, etc.), as they may damage the refrigerating circuit. Never use humidifiers,

braziers, hair dryers or de-icing sprays to speed up this process either. The refrigerating circuit may be damaged

irreparably and be a source of danger if the appliances operate with R-600 A.

- To defrost the freezer, follow the instructions below:

1. Unplug the appliance from the mains socket or disconnect the main switch.

2. Remove the food from the freezer and store it in cold insulation bags in a cool place.

3. Turn the thermostat to the position.

4. Let the discharge water flow into a container.

5. Collect the water which forms during defrosting with a sponge or cloth.

6. Also dry the walls and/or cooling grilles.

7. Plug into the mains.

8. Turn the thermostat to the desired position (Please refer to the

"TEMPERATURE REGULATION"

section).

MAINTENANCE

- Before starting any cleaning, disconnect the plug from the mains.

- To move or remove the drawers, pull them forwards until the front part stops, turn them upwards and remove

them completely; to position the shelf, follow the reverse procedure.

- Clean the inside when defrosting.

- To clean the inside and the accessories, we recommend that you use a water and bicarbonate of soda solution.

Avoid:

• Abrasive powders, detergents or soap.

• Scouring pads or plastic materials.

• Aggressive products (alcohol, thinners, etc.).

- Clean the outflow opening frequently, which is located on the rear wall, with either a brush or a blunt instrument

(e.g. a cotton bud).

- Rinse in clear water.

- Clean the seal of the door with water and dry it carefully.

- Carefully dry all the components and leave the door ajar for a few minutes.

- You can now place the food inside the appliance.

- Clean the outside with a soft, damp cloth.

- Clean the ventilation grille of the motor and condensor with a vacuum cleaner or soft brush, taking care not to

damage or separate the internal connections.

- For brief periods when you are away, we recommend that you leave the appliance plugged in.

51

Attention:

You must never use a steam cleaner to defrost or clean the appliance. Steam may dam-

age the parts of the low voltage appliance and cause a short circuit or an electrical dis-

charge. Steam may damage the plastic parts.

Oils and organic solvent substances must not come into contact with the walls of the

appliance, but must be positioned in suitable containers as they may affect the plastic ele-

ments.

Examples of these substances are:

- Olive and seed oils.

- Butter and animal fats.

- Lemon or orange juice.

- Detergents or products which contain acetic acid.

WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF INACTIVITY

In the event of extended absence, we recommend that you unplug the appliance from the mains, empty it, clean

the inside and leave the door open to prevent bad smells from forming.

CHANGING THE LIGHT

- Unplug the appliance from the mains or turn off the mains switch for the household before replacing the light.

- Remove the damaged light and replace it with another of the same value as indicated on the bulb protection.

(e.g. maximum 15W).

- Once the light has been replaced, plug the appliance in again.

NORMAL NOISES IN YOUR APPLIANCE

- Refrigerating gas may produce bubbling as it moves through the circuits.

- The compressor may make a humming and/or a slight tapping noise, which may be more accentuated when

starting up.

- A crack made by the expansion and contraction of the materials used.

- The insulating material amplifies the noise level.

52
