Storage of frozen food
The compartment
is also suitable for the
storage of frozen foods; in this case follow these
simple rules:
Turn the thermostat knob to the coldest setting (if
the room temperature is lower than 20
°
C it is
necessary to arrange the baffleplate so as to obtain
a higher temperature in the refrigerating
compartment). Remember that, in this condition,
the refrigerating compartment temperature might
drop below 0
°
C. If this occurs reset the thermostat
knob to a warmer setting.
Make sure that the frozen foods have been correctly
stored by the retailer.
Make sure that the interval between the time when
you buy the frozen foods and when you put them in
the freezer is short.
Do not exceed the dates of expiry marked on the
packages by the manufacturer.
After a period when the appliance is not used, make
it run for at least two hours with the thermostat
knob turned to the coldest setting before placing
the frozen foods in it.
If in the evaporator are not stored frozen foods, to
obtain a lower power consumption and a better
refrigeration of the foods it is advisable to arrange
the baffleplate so as to obtain a lower temperature
in the refrigerating compartment.

Defrosting
During operation, the evaporator of the
refrigerator compartment gets covered with frost
which must be removed because, being a thermal
insulator, prevents the even distribution of cold.
If it is not removed, the temperature inside the
fridge increases with a higher power consumption.
To carry out defrosting proceed as follows:
Press the button in the middle of the thermostat
knob (Fig. 10).
Fig. 10
When defrosting is completed, operation starts
automatically; however, the water should be
drained from the basin placed inside the meat
drawer (Fig. 11).
Fig. 11
Defrosting should be carried out when the compartment
is empty.
Ice cubes
The appliance includes one or more trays for
producing ice cubes. These trays should be filled
with drinking water and repositioned inside the
compartment .
Do not use metal tools to remove these trays when they
are stuck-frozen inside the compartment.
