Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
¥
do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator;
¥
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
¥
Position food so that air can circulate freely round
it.
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash
the interior and all internal accessories with luke-
warm 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.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward
lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob
towards higher settings.
However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
refrigerator depends on:
¥
room temperature;
¥
how often the door is opened;
¥
the quantity of food stored;
¥
location of appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
USE
Important
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.

Freezing fresh food

for freezing fresh food.
To freeze fresh foods depress the ambient knob at
least 12 hours before introducing the food into the
