Operation; Switching Off; Temperature Regulation; Daily Use - Smeg C7280FP User Manual

OPERATION

Switching on
1. Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator
clockwise to a medium setting.

Switching off

To turn off the appliance, turn the
temperature regulator to the "0" position.

Temperature regulation

The temperature is regulated automatically.
A medium setting is generally
the most suitable.
However, the exact setting
should be chosen keeping in
mind that the temperature inside
the appliance depends on:
• room temperature,
• how often the door is
opened,
• the quantity of food stored,
• the location of the appliance.

DAILY USE

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to
change the medium setting.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the
middle compartment
For a faster freezing operation, turn the
temperature regulator toward higher
settings to obtain the maximum coldness.
CAUTION! In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop below
0°C. If this occurs reset the
temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
1. Turn the Temperature regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum
coldness.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
CAUTION! If the ambient
temperature is high or the
appliance is fully loaded, and the
appliance is set to the lowest
temperatures, 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
automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy
consumption.

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the higher settings.
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a
power failure, if the power has
been off for longer than the
value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then
re-frozen (after cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature,
