Operation - Temperature regulation
Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise until
reaching the desired position (beyond the «
O
» =
stop position); the best position is between 3 and 4.
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature (less
cold) by rotating the thermostat toward lower
settings or diminished (more cold) 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.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob
to position «
O
».
When the refrigerator is set for the coldest temperatures,
with a high surrounding room temperature, it will
probably be in constant operation, with consequent
frosting of the back wall of the compartment. If this
does occur, the knob should be set to obtain a slightly
higher temperature. In this way the refrigerator
automatically defrosts, with a considerable energy saving.
Storage of foods in refrigerator compartment
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).
Do not cover the shelves (grids) with paper or
plastic since this blocks circulation of air in the
compartment.
Place the food so as to allow air circulation.
Foods should be positioned inside the refrigerator
compartment as indicated in Figure 9.
1.
Cold cuts, cheese, butter, milk
2.
Meat and fish
3.
Fruit and vegetables.
Fig. 9
Raw meat
(of all types) should be stored in plastic
bags. Max. conservation time: 1-2 days.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.,
should be well covered
and can be placed on any grid.
Fruit and vegetables
should be washed before being
stored in the specific drawer.
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.
