[. . . ] If the refrigerator is installed underneath a wall cupboard, the distance between the two must be at least 5 cm. Take care not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the appliance on parquet or linoleum. If necessary, when positioning slide the refrigerator over pieces of wood or a mat to the point decided for connection to the electrical mains. 3. 2 Positioning and levelling the appliance Place the fridge on a stable and level floor. In case the floor is not perfectly level, use the two adjustable feet on the front part of the fridge (pict. To ensure major stability, easier movement and a correct positioning of the product, two additional wheels (pict. In any case we recommend to move the fridge very carefully in order to avoid floor damage (especially in case of wooden floor). 1) 2) 3. 3 Electrical connection Before switching the refrigerator on for the first time, leave it vertical for at least two hours. Then connect the appliance's power supply lead to a mains socket with earth contact, installed in accordance with electrical safety regulations. The rated voltage and frequency are stated on the nameplate inside the refrigerator compartment. The appliance must be connected to the electrical mains and earthed in compliance with the relevant regulations and requirements. The appliance is able to withstand short fluctuations in voltage of no more than 15% less or 10% more than the rated voltage stated on the nameplate. If the power supply lead has to be replaced, this operation must only be carried out by an authorised Smeg technical service engineer. Important Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the doors of the two separate compartments are opened may affect the refrigerator's operating temperatures. 10 Instructions for the User 7. SETTING AND SELECTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT OPERATING TEMPERATURE 7. 1 Refrigerator without intensive cooling switch (only on some models) 24 hours before freezing a large amount of fresh foods turn the thermostat to a setting between 5 and 7. After the 24 hours have passed, insert the fresh foods and turn the thermostat knob to the setting of your choice (see "Setting the Temperature"). Important Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the door is opened affect the refrigerator's operating temperatures. 7. 2 Refrigerator with intensive cooling switch (only on some models) 24 hours before freezing a large amount of fresh foods, turn on the switch on the thermostat regulator box. The function is enabled by pressing the switch so that the coloured "I" sign is visible. After turning on the intensive cooling function, turn the thermostat to a setting between 5 and 7. After the 24 hours have passed, insert the fresh foods, turn off the switch and turn the thermostat knob to the setting of your choice. This procedure should be used the first time the refrigerator is turned on, and whenever it is turned on after a period out of use, to lower the temperature in the freezer compartment more quickly. (See "Setting the Temperature") 7. 3 Refrigerator with intensive freezing switch and cooling system (only on some models) 24 hours before freezing a large amount of fresh foods, turn on the switch on the thermostat regulator box. The function is enabled by putting the switch in the " ", position, and is turned off by putting it back on the symbol "0". After turning on the intensive cooling function, turn the thermostat to a setting between 5 and 7. [. . . ] Leave the door ajar to prevent the humidity and trapped air from creating unpleasant smells. 14 Instructions for the User 9. 5 Practical advice for saving energy Install the refrigerator in a cool, well ventilated place, protected against direct sunlight and well away from heat sources. Wait for foods and drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them on the shelves; Open the door(s) as infrequently and for as short a time as possible to prevent the compartments from warming up too much; Clean the condenser (rear of the refrigerator) periodically to prevent the appliance from losing efficiency; On models equipped with intensive cooling and rapid freezing, do not leave these functions activated for longer than absolutely necessary; If the refrigerator is to be out of use for a long period, it is best to empty it and switch it off; Thaw frozen foods in the body of the refrigerator in order to exploit the cold stored in the frozen foods, which will be transferred to the refrigerator if this procedure is used. 9. 6 Operating noise The refrigerator and freezer are cooled by means of a compression system. In order to maintain the preset temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer sections, the compressor comes into operation in response to the level of cooling required, and may operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts up a humming sound will be heard, tending to drop in volume after a few minutes. [. . . ]
