4. Setup u Installazzjoni
4.1 Disimballaġġ
Neħħi bir-reqqa l-materjali kollha tal-ippakkjar. Spezzjona l-friżer għal kwalunkwe ħsara li ġarrab waqt it-trasport. Irrapporta kwalunkwe ħsara lill-bejjiegħ tiegħek immedjatament.
4.2 Tqegħid
Place the freezer on a firm, level surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources (e.g., stoves, radiators), and extreme cold. Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance. Leave at least 10 cm of space at the back and sides for proper air circulation.
4.3 Invellar
Aġġusta s-saqajn tal-livellar fil-qiegħ tal-friżer biex tiżgura li jkun stabbli u livellat. Dan jipprevjeni l-vibrazzjonijiet u jiżgura siġillar xieraq tal-bieb.
4.4 Treġġigħ lura tal-Bieb
The door of your Candy CUQS-58-EW freezer is reversible, allowing it to open from either the right or left side to suit your kitchen layout. Refer to the detailed instructions provided in the separate door reversal kit (if applicable) or consult the manufacturer's website for a step-by-step guide. This process typically involves moving the hinges and door stopper from one side to the other.
4.5 Tixgħel Inizjali
After placement and leveling, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging the freezer into a power outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, let the freezer run empty for a few hours to reach its operating temperature before loading food.
5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
5.1 Kontroll tat-Temperatura
The temperature inside the freezer is controlled by a thermostat dial located inside the appliance (refer to Figure 3.6). The dial typically has settings from 1 (least cold) to 4 (coldest). For general use, a setting of 2 or 3 is usually sufficient. Adjust the setting based on ambient temperature and the amount of food stored.
5.2 Linji Gwida għall-Ħażna tal-Ikel
- Always store food in sealed containers or freezer bags to prevent freezer burn and odor transfer.
- Do not place hot food directly into the freezer; allow it to cool down first.
- Avoid overloading the freezer, as this can impede air circulation and reduce freezing efficiency.
- Organize food using the provided drawers for easy access and to maintain temperature stability.
- Label and date food items for optimal freshness and to avoid spoilage.
6. Manutenzjoni
