2 / USING YOUR APPLIANCE
USING THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
The thermostat in the refrigerator controls the temperature. To
set it, you must turn the knurled wheel inside the refrigerator on
the right-hand side. When set to position 0, the appliance is OFF.
We recommend that you select a middle position: 2 or 3.
Advice:
•
Do not put hot food or unsealed liquids into the refrigerator.
•
NEVER introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such
as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of explosion.
•
It is advisable to wrap meat and fish to avoid odours.
•
Leave sufficient space between the foodstuffs to enable air to
circulate correctly between them. Similarly, when storing them,
avoid putting food items in contact with each other.
•
Do not place food items in contact with the cold wall at the back
of the refrigerator. The shelves have a stop to avoid this.
•
The door should not be left open any longer than necessary.
USING THE FREEZER COMPART-
MENT
This compartment enables you to preserve frozen food, freeze
fresh produce and to produce ice cubes.
Do not freeze too large an amount of food at one time; the faster
the food is frozen, the longer it preserves its qualities. Similarly,
ensure that your food items are well wrapped before freezing
them so that they retain all their flavour and do not spoil other
items.
The preservation times for frozen and deep-frozen foods depends
on the type of food concerned. Please refer to the instructions on
the packaging. Do not place bottles or cans in the ice box. They
may split when their contents freeze. Highly carbonated drinks
may even explode! NEVER keep lemonade, fruit juice, beer, wine,
champagne, etc. in the freezer – ice box compartment.
