Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
• turn the Temperature regulator toward lower settings to obtain the minimum coldness.
• turn the Temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside
the appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set
to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall.
In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy consumption.
FIRST USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories
with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
DAILY USE
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-
frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the temperature regulator toward higher set
-
tings to obtain the maximum coldness.
In this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If this
occurs reset the temperature regulator to a warmer setting.
Place the fresh food to be frozen on the top compartment.
