In case the Fridge Freezer is exposed to temperatures lower than +16°C, the opera- tion of the refrigerator is normal, yet the temperature in the freezer compartment is raised, which shortens the storage time of frozen foods.
Quickly perishable food should be stored at the back ie. the coldest part of the refrigerator. The interior of the refrigerator is cooled with a cooling plate incorporated in the rear wall. Under the plate there is a channel and an outlet for defrost water.
S S t t a a r r t t i i n n g g : : Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. When you open the refrigerator door, the light will come on. There is a control dial situated on the right handside of the refrigerator interior.
The appliance is controlled with a thermostat knob, situated on the right handside of the refrigerator interior. Turn the knob clockwise from S S T T O O P P ( ( 0 0 ) ) position towards 7 and backwards.
• Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed, to prevent drying out and odour transference. Plastic bags, containers with lids, foil and plastic stretch wrap are ideal.
627493en.qxd 24.9.2003 11:47 Page 9 Storing Food. FREEZING FRESH FOODS - • Carefully select food you intend to freeze: it should be of high quality and thoroughly cleaned before freezing it. • Use correct packaging suitable for the freezer. - The packaging should be air tight and should not leak since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of foods.

D D E E F F R R O O S S T T I I N N G G : : AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR- There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice deposited on the interior back wall is defrosted automatically.
Use a soft non-metal brush or a vacuum cleaner. • Do not forget to clean also the defrost water receptacle above the refrigerator compressor (do not remove the recepta- cle). • Use warm, soapy water to wipe along and in between the creases of the door seal, dry thoroughly.
