Operation - temperature regulation
Turn the thermostat dial clockwise to the required
position (beyond the « O » position); the intermediate
setting is generally the most suitable.
The temperature is automatically regulated; it can
be increased by turning the dial towards the lower
numbers and vice versa.
When selecting the correct position, remember that
the internal temperature depends on the following
factors:
– ambient temperature;
– how often the door is opened;
– the amount of food stored;
– where the appliance is installed.
To switch off, turn the dial until it coincides with the
« O » symbol.
Storing chilled foods
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for
chilling food and drinks.
For best results, it is important to follow the rules
below:
do not put hot food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator; cover or wrap all foods (especially
spicy or strong-smelling foods); do not cover the
shelves with paper, card or protective plastic
sheeting which would prevent air from circulating
through the grilles.
We also recommend the following:
cooked foods, cold dishes, jelly, etc.: should be well
covered and may be placed on any shelf in the
refrigerator;
fruit and vegetables: should be washed and then
placed in the salad box at the bottom of the
refrigerator;
butter and cheese: should be placed in suitable
containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or plastic
film to avoid drying out;
milk in bottles: should be well capped and placed in
the door compartment;
raw meat (beef, pork, lamb, poultry): should be
wrapped in plastic bags and placed in the special
meat box or on the top shelf immediately below the
evaporator.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic should not be
placed in the refrigerator unless pre-packed.

Ice cube production
The refrigerator is equipped with one or more ice
cube trays, which should be filled with drinking
water and placed in the special compartment.
Do not use metal implements to detach the trays.
Defrosting
During normal operation, the evaporator in the
refrigerator compartment will gradually become
covered with frost.
This frost is a thermal insulator which inhibits
cooling and must therefore be removed, otherwise
there will be a significant reduction in cooling
efficiency and an increase in electricity
consumption.
To defrost, proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat knob to the « O » setting. When
defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly
and turn the thermostat knob to the required
setting.
The water which has collected in the basin placed
under the evaporator must be removed.
