OPERATION
Starting-up and Temperature Regulation
Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the
refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob, to
be found on the upper right side of the inner liner,
clockwise, beyond the «
O
» position, to start the
appliance.
Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the
thermostat knob to the required setting. A medium
setting is generally the most suitable. However, the
thermostat knob setting should be adjusted
depending on the temperature required inside the
appliance. This, in turn, depends on a number of
factors such as the ambient temperature, the
number of times the door is opened, the quantity of
food stored and the location of the appliance. Turn
the knob clockwise, to higher numbers, to obtain a
lower temperature, or anticlockwise if a higher
temperature is required.
Storage of foods in refrigerator compartment
To achieve the best results with the refrigerator
compartment, you should 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);
do not cover the shelves with paper or plastic since
this blocks the air circulation in the compartment.
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
impairment of the operation of the refrigerator.
In addition, food should be positioned inside the
refrigerator compartment as indicated in the
figure 4 that is given below:
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.

Further hints for getting the best out of your
refrigerator are the following:
Cooked food, 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
Fig. 5
The walls of the
refrigerator are
equipped with a
series of runners
so that the
shelves can be
positioned as
desired.
Positioning the door shelves
(Fig. 6-7)
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 free, then reposition as
required (Fig. 6).

For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf can
be removed by pulling it in the direction of the
arrows, then refitting it in position (Fig. 7).
