Operation - temperature regulation
Turn the thermostat dial clockwise to the required
position (beyond the «
O
» position); the intermediate
setting is generally the most suitable.
The temperature is automatically regulated; it can be
increased by turning the dial towards the lower
numbers and vice versa.
When selecting the correct position, remember that
the internal temperature depends on the following
factors:
– ambient temperature;
– how often the door is opened;
– the amount of food stored;
– where the appliance is installed.
To switch off, turn the dial until it coincides with the
«
O
» symbol.
Storing chilled foods
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for chilling
food and drinks.
For best results, it is important to follow the rules
below:
do not put hot food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator; cover or wrap all foods (especially spicy
or strong-smelling foods); do not cover the shelves
with paper, card or protective plastic sheeting which
would prevent air from circulating through the grilles.
We also recommend the following:
cooked foods, cold dishes, jelly, etc.: should be well
covered and may be placed on any shelf in the
refrigerator;
fruit and vegetables: should be washed and then
placed in the salad box at the bottom of the
refrigerator;
butter and cheese: should be placed in suitable
containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or plastic
film to avoid drying out;
milk in bottles: should be well capped and placed in
the door compartment;
raw meat (beef, pork, lamb, poultry): should be
wrapped in plastic bags and placed in the special meat
box or on the top shelf immediately below the
evaporator.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic should not be
placed in the refrigerator unless pre-packed.
