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.
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.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie
over the rear ones.

Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the central door shelf 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 free, then reposition as required.
For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom door
sheves can be removed by pulling them in the
direction of the arrows, then refitting them in position.

Fresh food refrigeration
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for cooling
drinks and for normal food storing.
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator and do
cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a
strong smell.
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment (
) is suitable for
long term storage of commercially frozen food and for
freezing fresh food.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change
the setting of the thermostat knob.
However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the
thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember
that, in this condition, the refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs
reset thermostat knob to a warmer setting.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment let the
appliance run for at least two hours on the coldest
setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal
operating position.
Important
If there is a power failure when food is in
the freezer, do not open the door of the
freezer compartment. The frozen food will
not be affected if the power cut is of short
duration (up to 12 hours) and the freezer
compartment is full, otherwise, it is
recommended that the food should be used
within a short time (a temperature increase
of the frozen food shortens its safe storage
period).
