[. . . ] To prevent this, the appliance comes complete with two plastic spacers which must be fitted to the top of the condenser. If the refrigerator is installed underneath a wall cupboard, the distance between the two must be at least 5 cm. Take care not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the appliance on parquet or linoleum. If necessary, when positioning slide the refrigerator over pieces of wood or a mat to the point decided for connection to the electrical mains. 3. 2 Positioning and levelling the appliance Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface. To compensate for any unevenness in the floor, the refrigerator has four adjustable feet. This gives it added stability and makes it easier to move around and position. Take great care when moving the appliance not to damage the floor (for example, when installing on a parquet floor). 3. 3 Electrical connection Before switching the refrigerator on for the first time, leave it vertical for at least two hours. The bottom of the door has a shelf to take vertical bottles. All door shelves and boxes can be removed for cleaning. To remove them from the door, tap them upward with your fist in the first on one side of the insertion zone and then on the other. Do not place excessively heavy bottles on the bottle shelf, and place bottles on the shelf gently when loading them. 4. 5 Cheese box A special cheese box with lid is supplied. This box can be placed on any shelf as required. 4. 6 Inside lighting When the refrigerator door is opened, the light comes on; it remains on until the door is completely closed again. The light comes on even if the refrigerator thermostat is set on "0", meaning that the refrigerator is switched off. 5. ARRANGING FOODS COMPARTMENT INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping or cover. This precaution will: - conserve foods' fragrance, moisture and freshness; - prevent the cross-contamination of foods with different aromas and tastes; - prevent the humidity level inside the refrigerator becoming too high because of the normal breathing of food (especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In some operating conditions (rise in ambient temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the door) this might cause condensation to form on the shelves. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator. Never store explosive substances in the appliance and only store high-alcohol drinks firmly sealed and vertical. 22 Instructions for the User 6. SETTING AND SELECTING THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE The knob in the top right-hand corner of the refrigerator is used to set the operating temperature both in the refrigerator and in the freezer. There is no direct correspondence between the setting chosen and the temperature in the two sections of the appliance. Increasing the setting number reduces the temperature inside the appliance. Only use the highest settings (4-5) if absolutely necessary: with these settings, the temperatures inside the refrigerator compartment may be close to 0°C and electricity consumption will be higher. In normal operating conditions, a medium-low setting (1-2) is recommended. [. . . ] This noise is perfectly normal and does not mean that the appliance is malfunctioning. In this case, check that: - The refrigerator is properly levelled on the floor and does not vibrate when the compressor is in operation: adjust the feet provided as appropriate; - The drawers, shelves and door boxes are correctly fitted and securely in place: fit correctly; - Bottles and containers on the various shelves are stable and not touching:the vibration due to operation of the compressor may generate some noise; - Do not place kitchen units or other appliances so that they are touching the refrigerator. 8. 7 Identifying and Dealing with Malfunctions Your new refrigerator is designed and built to strict quality standards. This section is intended to enable you to identify the origin of any malfunctions which may occur before contacting the Smeg After-Sales Service. 8. 8 Changing the inside light bulb Before changing the bulb, make sure that the light has not stopped working simply because the part inside the lamp socket has become loose. In all cases, whether you wish to check that the socket is connected correctly or change the bulb, for safety reasons the plug must be removed from the power socket. (It may be useful to remove the shelves for easier access). [. . . ]
