[. . . ] For your appliance to operate optimally, install it away from any heat sources and ensure that air can circulate well all around it (see "Installing your appliance"). Warning: Before installing your appliance please carefully read the safety instructions in order to avoid some minor inconveniences. Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated room, away from any heat source. Leave a minimum distance of 10cm between the top of your appliance and any unit above it. [. . . ] Clean the inside of your appliance with warm water and bicarbonate of soda. Wait 2 hours before switching on to ensure that the oil in the compressor has stabilized. You can alter the direction in which the doors open if you wish: The appliance must always be disconnected from the power supply when changing the direction the doors open. Remove from the top of the door the spring freed when the upper hinge pin is removed. ⷠMove the door's upper hinge located under the top of the appliance to the other side. ⷠSo that you can re-install the door on its hinge pin, move the plastic hole cover located on the top of the door over to the other side. ⷠInsert the spring you have previously removed into the just freed hinge pin guide. ⷠSlide the door onto the upper hinge pin and close it. ⷠInsert the lower hinge into the bottom of the door and screw it tight. The appliance consists of 2 compartments: a lower compartment for refrigerating and preserving fresh food and an upper compartment for producing ice cubes and preserving frozen food for a maximum of 48 hours. To set it, you must turn the control knob on the right-hand side of the compartment from ­ to +. This compartment enables you to store frozen food items for a maximum of 48 hours and to produce ice cubes. The preservation times for frozen and deep-frozen foods depend on the type of food concerned. ⷠNEVER introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of explosion. ⷠIt is advisable to wrap meat and fish to avoid odours. ⷠLeave sufficient space between the foodstuffs to enable air to circulate correctly between them. Similarly, when storing them, avoid putting food items in contact with each other. ⷠDo not place food items in contact with the cold wall at the back of the refrigerator. The symbol opposite indicates the location of the coldest area in your refrigerator, whose temperature is + 4°C. You will store here meat, poultry, fish, cooked meats, prepared dishes, ready-made salads, egg or cream-based dishes and pastries, fresh pasta, pastry, pizza/quiches, fresh produce and raw milk cheese, ready-to-use vegetables sold in plastic bags and, in general, any fresh produce whose consume-by date is associated with storage at a temperature of +4°C or below. [. . . ] Also do not put any of the interior's accessories in the dishwasher. ⷠWe recommend that you dust the back of the appliance with a cloth once a year because if it is dirty, your refrigerator's output reduces and its consumption increases. There are some noises that it is quite normal for a refrigerator to make: · The refrigerant gas can produce a gurgling sound as it travels through the circuits. The compressor may produce a buzzing noise, which can be more noticeable during start-up. [. . . ]
