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.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator;
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
Position food so that air can circulate freely round
it.
Useful hints:
Meat
(all types): wrap in polythene bags and place
on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the
most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..:
these should be
covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables:
these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s)
provided.
Butter and cheese:
these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles:
these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed,
must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Movable shelves
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
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.
