Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat
knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP)
position.
The appliance will start to operate.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and
can be increased to achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward
lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the
knob towards higher settings.
However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
refrigerator depends on:
room temperature;
how often the door is opened;
the quantity of food stored;
location of appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most
suitable.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob
to position «O».
Important
If the ambient temperature is high or the
appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is
set to the lowest temperatures, it may run
continuously causing frost to form on the rear
wall. In this case the dial must be set to a
higher temperature to allow automatic
defrosting and therefore reduced energy
consumption.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in
the refrigerator
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
Position food so that air can circuiate freely round
it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and
place on the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer(s).
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.
Milk bottles: these should trave a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves
can lie over the rear ones.
