¥ The domestic refrigerators and freezers are

designed to be used specifically for the storage
of edible foodstuffs only.

¥ Best performance is obtained with ambient

temperature between +18¡C and +43¡C (class
T); +18¡C and +38¡C (class ST); +16¡C and
+32¡C (class N); +10¡C and +32¡C (class SN).
The class of your appliance is shown on its rating
plate.

Warning: when the ambient temperature is not
included within the range indicated for the class
of this appliance, the following instructions must
be observed: when the ambient temperature
drops below the minimum level, the storage

temperature in the freezer compartment cannot
be guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use
the food stored as soon as possible.

¥ Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has

been thawed out.

¥ ManufacturersÕ storage recommendations should

be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant
instructions.

¥ The inner lining of the appliance consists of

channels through which the refrigerant passes. If
these should be punctured this would damage
the appliance beyond repair and cause food loss.
DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape
off frost or ice. Frost may be removed by using
the scraper provided. Under no circumstances
should solid ice be forced off the liner. Solid ice
should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the
appliance. See defrost instructions.

¥ Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the

freezer as it creates pressure on the container,
which may cause it to explode, resulting in
damage to the appliance.

towards higher settings.

However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
refrigerator depends on:

¥ room temperature;

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.

USE

¥ how often the door is opened;

¥ the quantity of food stored;

¥ location of appliance.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

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.

HINTS

Hints for refrigeration

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..: 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 have a cap and should
be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not

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
