Storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, we strongly recommend that you
make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer
and, furthermore, be 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. Finally, 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 (a temperature increase of the frozen
food could shorten its safe storage period),
otherwise, it is recommended that the food
should be used within a very short time.

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.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more
trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these
trays with water, then put them in the freezer
compartment. Do not use metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.

Temperature regulation

To start the appliance, turn the thermostat knob,
located inside the compartment, to the required
position. This thermostat has six operating
positions and an «0» (Stop) position. The higher
the number selected, the lower the temperature
in the refrigerator. When first starting up the
appliance, an initial setting of 3 or 4 is
recommended. The temperature inside the
compartment depends on a number of factors,
such as the ambient temperature, the amount of
food stored in the appliance, the frequency with
which the door is opened, the location of the
appliance in the room, etc. These factors must be
taken into account when setting the thermostat.
To stop the appliance, turn the thermostat knob to
the «O» position. The freezer compartment will
continue to operate.
Important
If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat
knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers)
and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor
may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form
18
on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob
to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow
automatic defrosting and so a saving in
electricity consumption.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:
do not store warm food or evaporating liquide 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(s).
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 trave 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

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.
