Arranging foods inside the refrigerator compartment
•
Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping
or cover. This precaution will:
-
conserve foods' fragrance, moisture and freshness;
-
prevent the cross-contamination of foods with different aromas and tastes;
-
prevent the humidity level inside the refrigerator becoming too high because of the
normal breathing of food (especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In some operating
conditions (rise in ambient temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the
door) this might cause condensation to form on the shelves.
•
Use only containers approved for food storage. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool
to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator.
•
Never store explosive substances in the appliance and only store high-alcohol drinks firmly
sealed and vertical.
Setting the operating temperature
Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the
compartment. The temperature control is located on the upper right-hand
side of the compartment. The first time you turn the unit on, set the
temper
ature control to “
5
”.
The range of the temperature control is from position "0
” to “
5
”. After 24
to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits
your needs. The setting of “
3
”
should be appropriate for home or office
use.
To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to
”
0
”.
NOTES
: Turning the temperature control to “
0
”
position stops the cooling cycle but does not
shut off the power to the unit. If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you
must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time
delay, the unit will not start.
If the refrigerator is not used for a long period of time, proceed as follows:
-
Disconnect the refrigerator from the main supply by removing the plug from the wall
socket.
-
Clean and dry the inside as instructed under the heading of
“
Maintenance and Cleaning
”
.
-
Leave the door open to prevent any unpleasant smells from building up while the
refrigerator is not in use.
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.
