USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the
interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm
water and some neutral soap so as to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these
will damage the finish.
Starting-up
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the door and turn the thermostat control knob,
to be found on the upper right hand side of the inner
compartment, clockwise beyond position «O» (OFF)
to start the appliance.
Temperature control
Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the
thermostat knob clockwise until its pointer coincides
with the required setting.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
The minimum setting (least cold) is represented by
the lowest number and the maximum setting (coldest)
by the highest number. In any case, bear in mind that
the temperature can be either increased (warmer) by
turning the thermostat knob anticlockwise or
decreased (colder) by turning it clockwise.
The thermostat knob setting should be adjusted
depending on the inner temperature of the
refrigerator, which, 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.
Warning
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 (lowernumbers) 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.
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.
Inner arrangement
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.
