[. . . ] Caution: the manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to comply with the above regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the appliance and the use of non-original spare parts. 19 Instructions for the Installer 3. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION 3. 1 Choosing the site Always place the refrigerator in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate inside), the wine cellar can be used in different temperature conditions: Class SN (Subnormal) N (Normal) ST (Subtropical) T (Tropical) Ambient temperature from + 10° C to + 32° C from + 16° C to + 32° C from + 18° C to + 38° C from + 18° C to + 43° C Never place the refrigerator close to heat sources. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the appliance at least 3 cm from electric or gas cookers and at least 30 cm from combustion or radiation heating systems. To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the refrigerator must not be placed too close to the wall. To prevent this, the appliance comes complete with two plastic spacers which must be fitted to the top of the appliance as shown in the drawing. 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 appliance has two adjustable feet at the front (fig. Small packages of food freeze more quickly, giving better conservation of their nutrients and flavour, even after thawing and preparation. Use only freezer bags, aluminium film, food-approved polyethylene film and freezer containers. Do not use paper bags, non food-approved cellophane bags, shopping bags or used freezer bags. If using bags, close the packs with the elastic bands or plastic-coated wire strips provided. Always cool hot foods to room temperature before placing them in the freezer and do not allow frozen foods to touch fresh foods for freezing. Always mark packs with the date of freezing, quantity and type of food and make sure that foods are fresh and in good condition. amount of fresh foods which can be frozen in a 24-hour period is marked on the nameplate. Do not exceed the stated amount: this reduces the freezer's efficiency and its ability to preserve the frozen foods it already contains. In case of power failure, the freezer compartment maintains its temperature for around 18 hours. 23 Instructions for the User 6. 3. 1 SUPER function This function provides rapid freezing and must be activated at least 4 hours before the food is placed in the freezer compartment. To start this function press the button for at least 2 seconds as described in point "5. The yellow light turns on to indicate that the function has been activated. [. . . ] Wait for foods and drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them on the shelves; Open the door(s) as infrequently and for as short a time as possible to prevent the compartments from warming up too much; Clean the condenser (rear of the refrigerator) periodically to prevent the appliance from losing efficiency; On models equipped with the rapid freezing function, do not leave this function activated for longer than absolutely necessary; If the refrigerator is to be out of use for a long period, it is best to empty it and switch it off; Thaw frozen foods in the body of the refrigerator in order to exploit the cold stored in the frozen foods, which will be transferred to the refrigerator if this procedure is used. 26 Instructions for the User 7. 4 Operating noise The refrigerator and freezer are cooled by means of a compression system. In order to maintain the preset temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer sections, the compressor comes into operation in response to the level of cooling required, and may operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts up a humming sound will be heard, tending to drop in volume after a few minutes. Another normal refrigerator operating noise is a gurgling due to the coolant flowing through the pipes in the circuit. [. . . ]
