Start-up - Temperature regulation
After plugging in the appliance, turn the thermostat
knob, located at the top right of the fridge, clockwise
to the required position (beyond position «
O
» - off).
A medium setting is recommended.
Temperature is kept constant automatically and can be
increased by turning the knob to lower numbers, or
reduced by turning it to higher numbers.
Proper setting is achieved by bearing in mind that the
temperature inside the fridge depends on the
following factors:
room temperature;
number of times the door is opened;
amount of food stored;
location of the appliance.
To turn the appliance off, set the thermostat knob to
«
O
».
At the lowest temperature setting, when the
appliance is full and room temperature is high, the
compressor may operate continuously and frost
forms on the evaporator of the frezeer
compartment. In this case, turn the knob to a less
cold setting so that the evaporator can be
automatically defrosted with a lower power
consumption.
Food refrigeration
To achieve the best results with the refrigerator
compartment, you should follow one or two very
simple rules:
Do not put warm foods or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator. Cover or wrap foods (particularly if they
have a strong smell). Do not cover the shelves (grids)
with paper or plastic since this blocks circulation of
air in the compartment.
Hints for correct use
Raw meat: wrap in polythene bags and place on top
of the salad crisper and, for safety, only store in this
way for one or two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be
covered and stored on the fridge shelves.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper.
Butter & 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.
