− After cleaning, dry the appliance thoroughly before switching it on for the fi rst
time.
− Set up the appliance in a suitable location (see “Cleaning the appliance” on page 22).

Notes on using the freezer
The appliance works correctly in ambient temperatures from +16°C to +38°C.
− Do not position the appliance near a heat source (radiator or cooker, etc.).
− Make sure of unobstructed air circulation around the freezer.
− If a layer of ice has formed, defrost the appliance. A thick coating of ice will
adversely affect the transfer of the cooling energy, thereby increasing the energy
consumption.
− Do not open the door too often and do not leave the door open for extended
periods.
