Food refrigeration
To achieve the best results with the refrigerator
compartment, you should follow one or two 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). Do not cover the shelves
(grids) with paper or plastic since this blocks
circulation of air in the compartment.
For a correct use of the compartment we suggest:
Raw meat: wrap in polythene bags and place on top
of the salad crisper and, for safety, only store in this
way for one or two days at the most.
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 as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap; store them in
the bottle rack on the door.

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 (Fig. 7).

The walls of the
refrigerator are
equipped with a
series of runners
so that the
shelves can be
positioned as
desired.

For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf can
be removed by pulling it in the direction of the
arrows, then refitting it in position (Fig. 8).

Defrosting
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every
time the motor compressor stops, during normal
use. The defrost water drains out through a trough
(Fig. 9) into a special container on the back of the
appliance, where it evaporates.

The freezer compartment, however, will become
progressively covered with frost. This should be
removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch
off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried
out and it is advisable to carry out this operation
when the appliance is empty.
