OPERATION
Refrigerator/Freezer - 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
(STOP), 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.
Important:
If the ambient temperature is high and the
appliance is set to the lowest temperature, it may
run continuously causing frost to form on the rear
wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher
temperature to allow for automatic defrosting and
consequently a saving in electricity consumption.
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).
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
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
The walls of the
refrigerator are
equipped with a
series of runners
so that the
shelves can be
positioned as
desired.
Use and features of the «CRISP’N FRESH»
filter
The glass shelf on
top of the
vegetable drawer
is fitted with a
special filter
called «CRISP’N
FRESH» which
ensures the
correct amount of
ventilation, and
significantly
reduces the rate
of food
dehydration; vegetables therefore store better and
keep longer.
