1. Refrigerator/Freezer - Starting-Up and Temperature Regulation

OPERATION

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

(STOP), 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.

Important:

If the ambient temperature is high and the

appliance is set to the lowest temperature, it may

run continuously causing frost to form on the rear

wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher

temperature to allow for automatic defrosting and

consequently 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.

Movable shelves

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,

the door shelves can be adjusted in height.

To make these adjustments proceed as follows:

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the

arrows until it comes free, then reposition as

required.

The walls of the

refrigerator are

equipped with a

series of runners

so that the

shelves can be

positioned as

desired.
