OPERATION

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 (

long term storage of commercially frozen food (i.e.

for 3 months, unless otherwise stated by the

manufacturer), and for freezing fresh food.

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 on the shelf.

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 the

freezing-in date to enable you to keep tab of the

storage time.

Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food

which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in

temperature of the latter.

) is suitable for

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids (ﬁzzy drinks, etc.) in

the freezing compartment as they may burst.

Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal

from the freezing compartment, can possibly cause

the skin to be freeze burnt.

Remember that, once thawed, frozen food

deteriorates rapidly.

On the rear side of the door you 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 conserved (in months).

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 freezer 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 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.
