Start-up - temperature regulation
After plugging the appliance, turn the thermostat
knob located at the top right of the fridge, clockwise
to the required position (apart from position «
O
» -
off). Medium setting is recommended.
Temperature is kept constant automatically and can
be increased by turning the knob to lower numbers,
or reduced by turning it to higher numbers.
Proper setting is achieved by keeping in mind that
the temperature inside the fridge depends on the
following factors:
room temperature;
number of times the door is opened;
quantity of food stored;
location of the appliance.
To turn the appliance off, set the thermostat knob to
«
O
».
In this refrigerator the refrigerating compartment
temperature may be regulated not only by using the
thermostat but also by operating on the baffleplate
placed under the evaporator (Fig. 6).

To obtain a lower temperature move the baffleplate
forward, to obtain a higher temperature move it
backward. It is advisable to move the baffleplate
backward when the room temperature is lower than
+20
°
C (Fig. 7).

Refrigeration of food
The refrigerator compartment is used to store foods
and drinks.
For best results, see the following 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 circulation of air in the compartment.
Moreover:
cooked foods, cold dishes, jelly, etc. should be
covered and can be stored on any shelf.
fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper.
butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude air as much as possible.
milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
raw meat: it should be placed in plastic bags and
stored on the drawer below the evaporator.
Bananas, potatoes, onion and garlic, if not packed
up, must not be placed in the refrigerator.
