USE
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».
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. 12
D346
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.
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(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.
38

Positioning the door shelves
Freezing fresh food
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the door shelves can be adjusted in height.
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free, then reposition as
required (Fig. 13).
Fig. 13
D026
For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf can
be removed by pulling it in the direction of the
arrows, then refitting it in position (Fig. 14).
Fig. 14
D006
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.
However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the
thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but
remember that, in this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If
this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer
setting.
Place the food to be frozen in the upper
compartment of the freezer as this is the coldest
part.
To help you make the most of the freezing process,
here are some important hints:
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 freezing-in date on each
individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the
storage time;
on the inner door or special card (if supplied) you
will find sketches of various animals and food types
together with the recommended storage time (in
months) from the time of freezing;
do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in the
freezing compartment as they may burst.
39
Page 9
Storage of frozen food
Defrosting
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:
if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove
all drawers and baskets from appliance and place
food on cooling shelves. Pay careful attention not to
exceed load limit stated on the side of the
upper section (where applicable).
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
food manufacturer.
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. 15
D037
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
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.
40
Page 10
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, and insert the plastic scraper in
the appropriate seating at the bottom centre,
placing a basin underneath to collect the defrost
water;
Fig. 16
D068
when defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly;
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.
