Positioning the door shelves
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 off, then reposition as
required.

It is also advisable not to exceed the storage
period indicated by the producer of the food.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
If there is a power failure when food is in the
freezer, do not open the door of the freezing
compartment.
The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut
is of short duration (a temperature increase of the
frozen food could shorten its safe storage period),
otherwise, it is recommended that the food should
be used within a very short time.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used,
can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or
at room temperature, depending on the time
available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will
take longer.
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 circulate 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
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more
trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these
trays with water, then put them in the freezer
compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.
