[. . . ] In the event of damage please contact your retailer. Installation s s This appliance is heavy. It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way. Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Important: if the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a cable available from the manufacturer or your local Service Force Centre. [. . . ] The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pretreating before freezing. Thawing Frozen food storage When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food. To obtain the best performance from this appliance, we suggest that all of the internal baskets are utilized. Moreover, we strongly recommend that you make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to your freezer in the shortest possible time (a temperature increase of the frozen food could shorten its storage period). It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period indicated by the producer of the food. To ensure the correct functioning of the appliance, no foodstuffs should be stored directly against the fan blade. Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary. Important Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc. ), in the freezer. Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in a low temperature skin burn. Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer burns". If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen food, do not open the door during the whole time of the power failure. The foods to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality. s s s s s s The size of each pack should be small enough to ensure that it is used in one go. Small packs freeze more quickly and uniformly and give better results. Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time. Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal. Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption. CONDENSER DEFROST TRAY COMPRESSOR D662 When the appliance is not in use When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells. 9 SOMETHING NOT WORKING?
