OPERATION
Starting-up - Temperature
Regulation
Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the required
setting (beyond position «
O
»); the recommended
setting is between 2 and 4.
Temperature is regulated automatically and can be
increased by turning the knob to lower numbers, or
decreased by turning it to higher numbers. 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 in the refrigerator;
location of appliance.
To stop the appliance, simply turn the thermostat
knob to position «
O
».
When the refrigerator is set for the coldest
temperature, with a high surrounding room
temperature and a great quantity of foods, it will
probably be in constant use, with consequent
frosting on the back wall of the compartment. If
this does in fact occur, the knob should be set to
obtain a slightly higher temperature. In this way
the refrigerator automatically defrosts, with a
considerable energy saving.
Refrigeration of foods and drinks
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 or contain aromatic herbs).
Place the foods so that air can circulate free between
them.
Raw meat (all types): it should be stored in plastic
bags, where it can be stored for one or two days at
most.
Fruit and vegetables: they should be washed and
placed in the suitable compartments.
