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.
Movable wire shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned
as desired.
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 this position, fresh meat can be stored fpr 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.
