USE
D338
D450
Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat
knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position.
The appliance will start to operate.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically 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 medium setting is generally the most suitable.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to
position «O».
Important
If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance
is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, 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 automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy
consumption.
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
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series
of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as
desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie
over the rear ones.
Fig. 10
Storage door accessories
The shelves can be easily removed if they are to be
cleaned or positioned at different heights. To do this,
push them upwards (see Fig. 11).
Fig. 11
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..:
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.
these should be

Storage of frozen food
(Only for model ER 1430 T)
The compartment marked is suitable for longterm storage of frozen and deep-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.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs
were adequately stored by the retailer;
be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the
foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time;
not open the door frequently or leave it open longer
than absolutely necessary.
Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot
be refrozen.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
producer of the food.
Important
If there is a power failure when food is in the
freezer, do not open the door of the freezer compartment. The frozen food will not be affected if
the power cut is of short duration (up to 6-8 hours)
and the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is
recommended that the food should be used within
a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen
food shortens its safe storage period).
Thawing
(Only for model ER 1430 T)
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
(Only for model ER 1430 T)
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.
41
Defrosting
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator
of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor
compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a trough into a
special container at the back of the appliance, over
the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the drain hole.
Fig. 12
D037
PR151
(Only for model ER 1430 T)
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed
with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever
the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means
to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as
follows:
pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the thermostat knob to the «O» setting;
remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place;
leave the door open, place a basin on the top shelf of
the refrigerator compartment, under the drain hole, remove the plug as shown in the figure;
Fig. 13
when defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly and refit the plug;
keep the scraper for future use;
turn the thermostat knob back to the required setting
or replace the plug in the power socket.
After two or three hours, reload the previously removed food into the compartment.
Important: A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
