REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

This appliance is equipped with a No Frost system that does not require manual defrosting.
The appliance is also provided with a ventilated system, thanks to which the internal temperature is to all 
intents and purposes uniform.
Food can be arranged on any shelf inside the appliance. However, take care not to obstruct the air vents 
in order to allow air to circulate freely.
Optimal performance is obtained at temperatures b18°C and +43°C.
SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCE
• 
The appliance will switch on automatically when it is plugged in.
• The inside light switches on when the refrigerator door is opened
USING THE REFRIGERATOR
• 
Temperature Adjustment
For correct operation and optimum storage of food, adjust the temperature in the refrigerator and 
freezer compartments separately.
REFRIGERATOR THERMOSTAT
To adjust the temperature in the refrigerator compartment, turn the thermostat knob to the desired 
position.

• After being switched on, the refrigerator needs approximately 2 hours to reach the correct 

temperature to store a typical volume of food in the refrigerator compartment.

Storing food in the refrigerator compartment
Position the food as shown in the figure.
A. Cooked food
B. Fish, meat
C. Fruit and vegetables
D. Bottles
E. Butter
F. Dairy products, cheese
To maintain the vitamins, aroma, substance and 
freshness of the food to be stored, it is advisable to 
wrap food in aluminium foil, cling film or place it in 
special freezer containers with lids. This will 
prevent odours from mixing.

NOTES:
• The space between the shelves and the rear wall must be unobstructed to allow circulation of air.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
• Do not place hot food in the refrigerator.
• Store liquids in closed containers.
• Storing vegetables with a high water content can result in condensation in the crisper drawer: this will 

not affect the correct operation of the appliance.

• Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic.
• The refrigerator can operate at ambient temperatures b16°C and +43°C.
