Use

■The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

■Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been thawed out.

■Manufacturers’ 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. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged.

Installation

■Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

■During normal operation, the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance heat up considerably. For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown in the relevant paragraph.

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

■If the appliance is transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.

■There are working parts in this product which heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. See installation instructions.

■Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wherever possible the back of the product should be against a wall.

■If the appliance has been transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.

USE

Cleaning the interior

Freezing fresh food

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

Starting-up

Insert the plug into the wall socket.

Open the door and turn the thermostat control knob, to be found on the upper right hand side of the inner compartment, clockwise beyond position «O» (OFF) to start the appliance.

Temperature control

Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the thermostat knob clockwise until its pointer coincides with the required setting.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

The minimum setting (least cold) is represented by the lowest number and the maximum setting (coldest) by the highest number. In any case, bear in mind that the temperature can be either increased (warmer) by turning the thermostat knob anticlockwise or decreased (colder) by turning it clockwise.

The thermostat knob setting should be adjusted depending on the inner temperature of the refrigerator, which, 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.

Warning

If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.

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.

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.

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 12 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.

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.

D338

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the central door shelf 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.

For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom door sheves can be removed by pulling them in the direction of the arrows, then refitting them in position.

HINTS

Hints for refrigeration

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some useful hints:

Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should be well covered and can be stored on any of the glass shelves.

Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer.

Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a top and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad compartment, this being the coldest spot in the refrigerator.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for freezing

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;
