for normal storage use.

Avoid opening the door too frequently and when you

do open it, leave it open only for as long as is strictly

necessary.

A word of warning about ice lollies: they should not

be eaten straight out of the freezer as this might cause

cold burns.

If there happens to be a power failure do not open the

freezer door. If the freezer is completely full, frozen

products will not be affected. Otherwise they should

be used up very quickly.

Thawing

Before being used, deep-frozen and frozen food can

be thawed out either in the refrigerator compartment

or at room temperature, depending on the time

available for this operation.

Small pieces of food – such as hamburgers, cutlets,

chips, and ﬁsh ﬁngers, for example – can be cooked

straight out of the freezer, without any intermediate

thawing operation. Clearly, cooking time will be

marginally longer than in the case of thawed food.

Use of the refrigerator

Turn the thermostat knob on the interior of the cabinet

to a setting between 2 and 4, which is usually the

most appropriate. However, the exact setting should

be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside

the refrigerator depends on:

room temperature;

how often the door is opened;

the quantity of food stored in the refrigerator;

location of appliance.

As in the case of the freezer, it might be necessary to

turn the knob to higher settings to obtain a lower

refrigeration temperature or, vice versa, to lower

settings to increase the refrigeration temperature.

When the refrigerator is set for the coldest

temperatures, with a high surrounding room

temperature, it will probably be in constant use, with

consequent frosting of the back wall of the

compartment. If this does in fact occur, the knob

should be set to obtain a slightly higher temperature.

In this way the refrigerator automatically defrosts,

with a considerable energy saving.

To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to

position « O ». The freezer will continue to work.

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.
