If the unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will not be covered properly. Positioning
Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:
For refrigerating appliances with climate class:
– extended temperate: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C; (SN)
– temperate: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C; (N)

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:
– the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
– the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
– only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
– prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
– wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;
– do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;
– lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
– water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
– when you remove the pack from freezer compartment, please take care not to cause the skin freeze burnt;
– it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.
