Frigelle 271 Instruction Manual

B e fore Putting Into Use

• B e fore connecting the appliance to the power supply, let it stand for about 2
h o u r s, which will reduce a possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due
to tra n s p o rt handling.

• Clean the appliance, and be thorough, especially in the interior (See Cleaning
and Maintenance).

Instructions for Use

These instruction for use are intended for the user. They describe the appliance
and its correct and safe use.

I m p o rt a n t

• D a n ger or Warning: Risk of child entrapment.

• Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Ju n ked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous. . . even if they will “just sit in the
g a rage a few day s.”

•

B e fore you throw aw ay your old refrigerator or freeze r :

Ta ke off the doors.

L e ave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

•

If you have bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with a lock that
cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broke n .
This will make it impossible for children to lock themselves inside the appliance
and suffo c a t e.

• The appliance must be correctly connected to the power supply. (See: How to
i n s t a l l )

• Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance opera t e s, especially not
with wet hands, because the skin may stick to the cold surfa c e s.

• Do not freeze bottles containing liquid, such as mineral wa t e r, sparkling wine,
b e e r, cola etc., because liquid expands during freezing and the glass bottle is
ve ry likely to ex p l o d e.

• If the food has strange smell or color, throw it away, because it is ve ry like l y
that it is spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before repairing it (only a
qualified technician should repair it).

• Do not defrost the appliance with other electric devices (hair dryer etc.) and
n ever scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp tools.

• The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wa l l .

Tips for Energy Sav i n g s

• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot.
Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as possibl e.

• E ve ry now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate
air circulation behind the appliance).

• Set thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depends on
h ow loaded the appliance is).

• B e fore loading the appliance with packages of fresh fo o d s, make sure they are
cooled to ambient tempera t u r e.

• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean the appliance as
soon as the layer is 1/8” thick .
