regulated and can be increased to
achieve a higher temperature (warmer)
by rotating the thermostat knob
toward lower settings or reduced
(colder) rotating the knob towards
higher settings.
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;
• location of appliance.
A mmedium ssetting iis ggenerally tthe mmost

Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit
and vegetables. There is a separator
inside the drawer that can be placed in
different positions to allow for the
subdivision best suited to personal
needs.
There is a grille (if forseen) on the
bottom of the drawer to separate the
fruit and vegetables from any humidity
that may form on the bottom surface.
All parts inside the drawer can be
removed for cleaning purposes.
Humidity Control
The drawer incorporates a device with
slits (adjustable by means of a sliding
lever),which makes it possible to regulate
the temperature in the vegetable
drawer(s).
The opening in the ventilation slots can be
adjusted with the slider. Right slider:
Ventilation slots opened.
With the ventilation slots open, more air
circulation results in a lower air moisture
content in the fruit and vegetable
compartments. Left slider: Ventilation slots
closed. When the ventilation slots are
closed, the natural moisture content of the
food in the fruit and vegetable
compartments is preserved for longer.

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.
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment is
suitable for long term storage of
commercially frozen food, and for
freezing fresh food.
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.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, before putting the products
in the compartment let the appliance
run for at least two hours on the
coldest setting, then turn the
thermostat knob to the normal
operating position.

Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the
freezing process, here are some
important hints:
• Place the food to be frozen on the
upper drawer as this is the coldest
place.
• the maximum quantity of food
which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is
shown on the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24
hours. No further food to be frozen
should be added during this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• prepare 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;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil
or polythene and make sure that
the packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen,
thus avoiding a rise in temperature
of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer
than fatty ones; salt reduces the
storage life of food;
• water ices, if consumed
immediately after removal from the
freezer compartment, can possibly
cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezingin date on each individual pack to
enable you to keep tab of the
storage time;
• do nnot pput ccarbonated lliquids ((fizzy
drinks, eetc.) iin tthe ffreezer
compartment aas tthey mmay bburst.
