you should readjust the front feet once the appliance has had time to
settle.
Use
• This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperature
between 10°C and 38°C. If these temperatures are exceeded,
i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly.
If the ambient temperatures are exceeded for long periods, the
temperature in the freezer section will rise above -18°C and food
spoilage may occur.
• Remove all packaging materials from the appliance. Wash the
inside of the cabinet with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 liter of water). Dry the appliance thoroughly.
• When you use the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, set
the thermostat control to the maximum position for at least 2
hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust to
the normal position.
• If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food
should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 12 hours. If
the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
