Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the
door shelves can be placed at different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free
2. Reposition as required.
Hints and tips
Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound
when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor
when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance
caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator
when the compressor switches on or off.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature
and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor
may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the
evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature
Regulator toward warmer settings to allow automatic
defrosting and so a saving in electricity
consumption.
Hints for 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 around it
Hints for refrigeration
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.
• Bottles: these need a cap and should be stored on
the door bottle shelf, or (if equipped) on the bottle
rack.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed,
must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Care and cleaning
Warning! Refer to Safety chapters.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm
water and some neutral soap.
