Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled. Disposal of your old appliance Please ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. [. . . ] Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e. g. If storing alcohol with a high percentage proof, make sure it is tightly closed, and store upright. If storing bottles of oil or food containing high levels of fat or oil in the appliance, take care not to let the fat or oil come into contact with plastic components. Food must not touch the back wall of the appliance, as it may freeze to the back wall. Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator Not all food is suitable for storing in the refrigerator. These include: ­ Fruit and vegetables which are sensitive to cold, such as bananas, avocado pears, papaya, passion fruit, aubergines/eggplant, peppers/capsicum, tomatoes and cucumbers ­ Fruit which is not yet ripe ­ Potatoes ­ Some hard cheeses, e. g. Parmesan 14 Using the refrigerator efficiently Storing food correctly Store food covered or packaged. This will prevent food smells or tastes from affecting other foods, and prevent food from drying out and also any cross-contamination of bacteria. The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene. Fruit and vegetables Fruit and vegetables can be stored loose in the vegetable containers. However, you should bear in mind that some types of vegetables give off a natural gas which speeds up the rate at which food perishes. Some fruit and vegetables react strongly to this gas and should not be stored together. Examples of fruit which produce a large amount of this natural gas are: Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines, peaches, plums, avocado pears and figs. Examples of fruit and vegetables which react strongly to the natural gases given off by other types of fruit and vegetables are: Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons, apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pears, nectarines and peaches. Unpacked meats and vegetables Different types of unpacked meats and vegetables must be kept separate. To avoid any microbiological cross-contamination, these foods may only be stored together if they are wrapped. Protein rich foods Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others. Shell fish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat. Meat Meat should be stored loosely covered in suitable containers or packaging. Allowing the surface of the meat to dry slightly helps to prevent the growth of bacteria. To prevent the risk of bacterial cross-contamination meat should not be allowed to come into contact with other foods. 15 Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Pull the shelf forward as far as it will go; then lift it upwards to remove it. ^ With the rear barrier facing upwards, place the shelf at the required position.

WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED 24 Installation Do not place any appliance which gives off heat, such as a toaster or microwave oven, on top of this appliance, as this would increase the appliance's energy consumption. Climate range SN N ST T SN - ST SN - T Ambient room temperature +10 °C to +32 °C +16 °C to +32 °C +18 °C to +38 °C +18 °C to +43 °C +10 °C to +38 °C +10 °C to +43 °C Important: Appliances without side wall heating must not be installed "side-by-side" next to another refrigerator or freezer. This could cause condensation and subsequent damage between the two appliances. Operating in a room which is too cold will cause the cooling system to switch off for too long causing the internal temperature in the appliance to rise with the risk of food deteriorating and going off. Location The appliance should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room. The room temperature should not go above or below the climate range for which the appliance is designed. [. . . ]
