USE
Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat
knob, clockwise, beyond the «
O
» (STOP) position.
The appliance will start to operate.
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.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob
to position «
O
».
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.
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.
Useful hints:
Meat
(all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on
the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the
most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..:
these should be
covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables:
these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s)
provided.
Butter and cheese:
these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles:
these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must
not be kept in the refrigerator.
Inner arrangement
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired (Fig. 11-12).
For better use of space, the front half-shelves (for
models which are provided with them) can lie over
the rear ones (Fig. 11).
