Important
Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in
the freezing compartment as they may burst.
Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezing compartment, can possibly cause
the skin to be freeze burnt.
Remember that, once thawed, frozen food deterio-
rates rapidly.

Storage of frozen food

Frozen food storage
When the freezer is being turned on for the first time,
or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the N/S
knob to the Quick-freezing position and then wait at
least two hours before introducing the food to be
conserved. You may then return the knob to the «N»
position. This two-hour waiting period may be
avoided if the freezer has already been in operation.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers and baskets from appliance (except for the
last one at the bottom) and place food on cooling
shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated
on the side of the upper section (where applicable).

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at
room temperature, depending on the time available
for this operation. Small pieces may even be cooked
still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays
for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with
water, then put them in the freezer compartment. Do
not use metallic instruments to remove the trays
from the freezer.

Temperature regulation

To start the appliance, turn the thermostat knob,
located inside the compartment, to the required
position. This thermostat has six operating positions
and an «O» (Stop) position. The higher the number
selected, the lower the temperature in the
refrigerator. When first starting up the appliance, an
initial setting of 3 or 4 is recommended. The
temperature inside the compartment depends on a
number of factors, such as the ambient temperature,
the amount of food stored in the appliance, the
frequency with which the door is opened, the
location of the appliance in the room, etc. These
factors must be taken into account when setting the
thermostat. To stop the appliance, turn the
thermostat knob to the «O» position. The freezer
compartment will continue to operate.
Important
If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat
knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and
the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may
run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the
evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a
warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic
defrosting and so 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.
