USE
Operation - regulating the temperature
Turn the thermostat dial, positioned at the top right of
the compartment, clockwise to the required position
(beyond the «
O
» position); the most suitable setting is
between 2 and 4.
The temperature is automatically regulated; it can be
increased by turning the dial towards the lower num-
bers and vice versa.
When selecting the correct position, remember that
the internal temperature depends on the following fac-
tors: ambient temperature, how often the door is
opened, the amount of food stored, where the appli-
ance is installed.
To switch off, turn the dial until it coincides with the
«
O
» symbol.
Important
When the refrigerator is set for the coldest tempera-
tures, with a high surrounding room temperature, it
will probably be in constant use, with consequent
frosting of the back wall of the compartment. If this
does in fact occur, the knob should be set to a slightly
higher temperature.
In this way the refrigerator automatically defrosts, with
a considerable energy saving.
Storage of foods in the refrigerator com-
partment
To achieve the best results with the refrigerator com-
partment, you shoud follow some 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).
Please note: Do not place foodstuffs and paperbags
etc. in contact with the evaporator plate at the rear of
the refrigerator compartment as this can lead to im-
pairment of the operation of the refrigerator.
In addition, foods should be positioned inside the re-
frigerator compartment as indicated in Figure 10:
1. Cold cuts, cheese, butter, milk
2. Meat and fish
3. Fruit and vegetables.
In this position, fresh meat can be stored for 1-2
days at most.
Fig. 11
Further hints for getting the best out of your refrigera-
tor are the following:
Cooked foods, cold dishes, jellies, etc., should be well
covered.
Fruit and vegetables should be washed before being
stored.
Raw meat (all types, including poultry) should be
stored in plastic bags.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series
of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as
desired.
