Refrigerator/Freezer - Starting-up

and Temperature Regulation

Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the

refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob, to be

found on the upper right side of the inner liner

clockwise, beyond 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 depending 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 location of the appliance.

Turn the knob clockwise, to higher numbers, to obtain

a lower temperature, or anticlockwise if a higher

temperature is required.

Freezing fresh food

The 4-star compartment

term storage of commercially frozen food and for

freezing fresh food.

Never exceed the expiry dates shown on the packages

by the manufacturer.

Under normal circumstances, to freeze fresh foods it

is not necessary to change the setting of the

thermostat knob with respect to the normal running

position.

However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the

thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember

that, in this condition, the refrigerating compartment

temperature might drop below 0 C. If this occurs

reset thermostat knob to a warmer setting.

To help you make the most of the freezing process,

here are some important hints:

Place the food to be frozen in the bottom basket of the

freezing compartment as this is the coldest part.

The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen

in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.

Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned,

foodstuffs.

Prepare the 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 up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and

make sure that the packages are airtight.

It is advisable to show on the single food packet or on

USE

is suitable for long

the write-on produce strips to be found on the front

part of the storage baskets the freezing-in date to

enable you to keep tab of the storage time.

Do not allow food to be frozen to be in contact with

food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in

temperature of the latter.

Important

Never put ﬁzzy drinks in the freezer as they might

well burst.

Ice lollies, if consumed straight from the appliance,

can cause frost burns.

Once the foods have thawed out, use them very

quickly, since they deteriorate fast.

A special card is located in the holder on the inner

door of the freezer compartment. On the upper part it

shows pictures of different types of food followed by

a ﬁgure. These ﬁgures indicate the maximum storage

time, in months, for each type of food.

Details of food being stored, can also be written in

pencil on the lower part of the card.

Storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance,

we strongly recommend the following:

Make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs

were adequately stored by the retailer.

Make sure that these frozen foodstuffs are transferred

from the foodstore to the consumer in the shortest

possible time (a temperature increase of the frozen

food could shorten its storage period). It is also

advisable not to exceed the storage period indicated

by the producer of the food.

Do not open the door frequently or leave it open

longer than is absolutely necessary.

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

do not open the door of the freezing compartment.

The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut

is of short duration, otherwise it is recommended that

the food should be used within a very short time.
