Positioning the door shelves
(Fig. 10-11)
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the door shelves can be adjusted in height.
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free, then reposition as
required (Fig. 10).

For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf can
be removed by pulling it in the direction of the
arrows, then refitting it in position (Fig. 11).

Frozen food storage
The compartment marked by the symbol
is
suitable for storing frozen food and, to obtain the
best results, make sure the thermostat knob is set
near the coldest setting (if ambient temperature is
low-i.e., less than 20
°
C - it is necessary to adjust the
conveyor in such a way as to reduce the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment).
With this thermostat knob setting, the temperature
in the refrigerator compartment could fall below
0
°
C.
If this occurs readjust the knob so as to increase the
temperature.
Furthermore, make sure that:
the frozen food to be stored has been kept at the
proper temperature in the shop;
transport of frozen food from the shop to the
evaporator compartment is carried out in a brief
time;
do not exceed the storage time indicated on
packages by the food manufacturer.
After an idle period it is necessary to let the
appliance run for at least two hours with the
thermostat knob set on the coldest setting before
placing any frozen food in this compartment.
If no frozen food is stored in the evaporator, it is
advisable to adjust the conveyor so as to reduce the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment thus
reducing energy consumption and improving food
refrigeration performance.
Never put fizzy drinks in the 2-star (
)
compartment as they might well burst.
A word of warning about ice lollies: they should not
be eaten straight out of the 2-star (
)
compartment as this might cause cold burns.
Thawing
Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in
the refrigerator or at room temperature depending
on the time available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the evaporator; in this case, though,
cooking will take longer.
Making ice cubes
The refrigerator is provided with an ice cube tray.
This tray should be filled with drinking water and
then placed in the evaporator compartment.
Do not use metal tools to remove the tray when it is
stuck-frozen inside the compartment.
