Starting-up and temperature regulation

Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the refriger-

ator door and turn the thermostat knob, located on

the upper right side of the inner liner clockwise, be-

yond the «O» position, to start the appliance.

Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the

thermostat knob to the required setting. A medium

setting is generally the most suitable. However, the

thermostat knob setting should be adjusted depend-

ing on the temperature required inside the appliance.

This, 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 lo-

cation of the appliance.

Turn the knob clockwise, to higher numbers, to obtain

a lower temperature, or anticlockwise if a higher tem-

perature is required.

Freezing fresh food and storage of frozen

food

The 4-star compartment (

term storage of frozen food (not more that 3 months)

and for freezing fresh food.

The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24

hours is indicated on the rating plate.

You should never freeze all at once a greater quan-

tity of fresh foods than the maximum indicated on

the appliance's rating plate.

Never exceed the expiry dates shown on the packs.

Under normal circumstances, to freeze fresh foods it

is not necessary to change the thermostat knob set-

ting from the normal running position.

However, for faster freezing, turn the thermostat knob

to the coldest setting; but remember that, in this con-

dition, the refrigerator compartment temperature

might drop below 0 C. If this occurs reset thermostat

knob to a warmer setting.

To help you achieve the best results, here are some

important hints:

Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned,

foodstuffs.

Prepare fresh food in small portions to enable it to be

rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible

subsequently to thaw only the quantity required at the

time.

Wrap the food in aluminium foil or polythene and

make sure that the packages are airtight.

Place the food to be frozen on the upper drawer of the

freezer compartment, as this is the coldest place.

On the inner door of the

will ﬁnd a list of foods followed by a number. These

numbers indicate the maximum period of time for

which the food in question may be stored (in months).

) is suitable for long-

compartment you

Food to be frozen should not be in contact with frozen

foods in order to avoid an increase in temperature.

Warning

Never put ﬁzzy drinks in the freezer as they might well

burst.

Once food has thawed out, use it very quickly, since it

deteriorates fast.

Storage of frozen food

Hints for the storage of commercially frozen food:

Do not open the door frequently or leave it open long-

er than is absolutely necessary.

If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer,

do not open the door of the freezer compartment.

Frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of

short duration, otherwise it is recommended that the

food be used within a very short time.

The interval between the time when you buy frozen

foods and when you put them in the freezer should be

as short as possible.

The expiry dates on the packages should never be ex-

ceeded.

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.

Food refrigeration

To achieve the best results with the refrigerator com-

partment, 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.
