Operation
Before use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by a thermostat control knob with 6 temperature positions and one «OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat control knob to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable, although the temperature will be affected by:
•Room temperature
•How often the door is opened
•How much food is stored
•Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stablise before making further changes.
Important
During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.
Low room temperature switch
The appliance is designed to operate in room temperatures of 16°C to 32°C, or down to 10°C if the low room temperature switch is switched on. The low room temperature switch should be depressed when the room temperature drops below 16°C (the incorporated lamp will illuminate). If the room temperature drops below the above figures the temperature in the freezer may rise above -18°C, then safe storage of frozen food can no longer be guaranteed. It is most likely that the low room temperature switch will need to be depressed throughout the winter to allow for low overnight temperatures. No damage can be caused by leaving the switch in this position for a period of time but energy will be wasted.

The refrigerator compartment
Fresh food refrigeration
The coldest area of the refrigerator is the lower part, above the salad bin.
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.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & chicken or poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad bin.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom salad bin.
Butter & 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.

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelf can lie over the rear one (see fig.).
D338
The door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.
To do this proceed as in the figure.
For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf and the bottle shelf can be removed by pulling them in the director of the arrow, then refitting them in position.

Helpful hygiene tips
•Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry them with a clean towel before handling food.
•Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross contamination by not using the same work surface for raw and cooked food without washing it thoroughly in between.
•Use clean kitchen roll wherever possible for clearing up food. If you use a dishcloth be sure to boil it frequently.
•Regularly remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean the interior with a solution of bicarbonate of soda in warm water (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Never allow spills to dry and harden.
•Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to ensure that it is clean and free from debris.
•Make sure that food is used before its «best before» date.
•Cool food as quickly as possible but don't place in refrigerator or freezer until cool. (Leave food in a place as cool as possible in order that it can be placed in the refrigerator or freezer without delay).
•Do not store food uncovered.
•Do not mix raw and cooked meat, they must be in separate containers. Take care not to let the meat juices drip onto other food. If the meat does drip, remove everything and clean thoroughly.
The freezer compartment
Freezing fresh food
When starting up the appliance for the first time or after a period of non use, position the thermostat to a medium setting (3 or 4) and leave for at least 4 hours before placing the food to be frozen inside.
If you wish to fast-freeze a quantity of fresh food, press the ambient switch (light on) located near the thermostat knob. Leave it on this position for 24 hours before placing in the food and set it back to normal position 24 hours after placing the fresh food in the freezer.
If the switch is already depressed no further adjustment is required.
The products for freezing should be placed in the upper drawer and then transferred to the lower drawers so that the compartment is left free for the next freezing operation.
The maximum freezing capacity is 3 kg/24 hours. Never exceed the quantity indicated in one freezing batch.
Frozen food storage
Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straightforward. The packs can be placed beside each other or on top of each other.
In the first compartment, produce must only be stacked up to the mark on the drawer to ensure air circulation is not obstructed.
You are strongly advised to place ready-frozen food in the compartment as quickly as possible after purchase. Also ensure that the external packaging is intact.
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage times indicated.
Do not open the freezer door too often and do not leave open longer than necessary.
