[. . . ] In order to ensure a normal operation of your refrigerating appliance, which uses a completely environmentally friendly refrigerant the R600a (flammable only under certain conditions) you must observe the following rules: Do not hinder the free circulation of the air around the appliance. Do not use mechanical devices in order to accelerate the defrosting, others than the ones recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use electric appliances inside the food keeping compartment, other than those that might have been recommended by the manufacturer.

[. . . ] The plug has been inserted into the wall socket and the electricity is switched on. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also make some (noise), whether the compressor is running or not. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the manufacturing process used; it is not a defect. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration machine to operate continously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment. When freezing fresh food, keep the thermostat knob at medium position. Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a spoon handle or a similar implement; never use sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks. Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of commercially frozen foods and also can be used to freeze and store fresh food. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 18 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen. The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance (Item 6). During defrosting, water droplets may form at the back of the fridge compartment where a concealed evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the droplets which have refrozen. If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared with a pipecleaner or similar implement. Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the water spilling on the electric installation or on the floor (Item 7). B) Freezer compartment Defrosting is very straightforward and without mess, thanks to a special defrost collection basin. Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start the defrosting procedure, switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. [. . . ] Don't- Put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated liquids into the freezer, as they may burst. Don't- Exceed the maximum freezing loads when freezing fresh food. Don't- Give children ice-cream and water ices direct from the freezer. Don't- Try to keep frozen food which has thawed; it should be eaten within 24 hours or cooked and refrozen. [. . . ]
