HOW TO OPERATE THE REFRIGERATOR
COMPARTMENT
Switching on the appliance
Starting up the appliance
The appliance features internal controls.
Plug in the appliance.
When the appliance is connected to the mains, the inside light
switches on each time the door is opened. The thermostat, located
inside the refrigerator compartment, is used to adjust the
temperature of both the refrigerator compartment and low
temperature compartment (if fitted).
Appliance temperature adjustment:
The thermostat automatically adjusts the temperature inside the
refrigerator compartment and the
compartment.
The thermostat knob can be turned from position1 to 7 (coldest
setting) to make the internal temperature colder.
When set to O the appliance is switched off.
To store food for a short period of time, set the thermostat
between 1 (Min) and 3 (Med).
- To store food for long periods of time in the
compartment, set the thermostat to 3 or 4.
Note:
The ambient air temperature, frequency of door opening and the
position of the appliance can affect internal temperatures. These
factors must be taken into account when setting the thermostat.
How to use the refrigerator compartment
Position the food as shown in the figure.
A Cooked food
B Fish, meat
C Fruit and vegetables
D Bottles
E Cheese
Notes:
• The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the
refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow
circulation of air.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the
refrigerator compartment.
• Do not place hot food in the refrigerator.
• Store liquids in closed containers.
Important
Storing vegetables with high water content can cause
condensation to form on the glass shelf of the crisper
drawer: this will not affect the correct operation of the
appliance.
18
HOW TO OPERATE THE LOW TEMPERATURE
COMPARTMENT
The low temperature compartment is
.
Frozen food can be stored in the compartment for the
period of time indicated on the pack, and also fresh food can
be frozen.
The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is
shown on the rating plate.
Note:
In the event of a power cut, the low temperature compartment
will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage.
However, it is advisable to avoid opening the compartment door
during such periods.
Freezing fresh food (only in compartments marked
)
Important
• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:
aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags,
polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for
freezing fresh food.
• Arrange the fresh food in the top compartment, leaving
sufficient space around each pack for the air to circulate.
• For optimum freezing, turn the thermostat down by half a point
when placing fresh foods in the freezer compartment.
• The food will be completely frozen in 24 hours.
MONTHS
FOOD
For appliances with compartments marked
The table alongside shows the recommended maximum
storage time for frozen fresh foods.
When purchasing frozen food products:
• ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is
swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under
optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
• Place the items in the low temperature compartment as soon as
you get home.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it.
Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.
Respect the best-before date on the package.
• Always observe the storage information on the package.
Making ice cubes
• Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the low temperature
compartment
• Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if it
is stuck to the low temperature compartment bottom.
• Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes.
19
HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE
REFRIGERATOR
Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug the
appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical
power supply.
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely
automatic.
Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator
compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is
in progress.
The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and
into a container from which it evaporates.
Regularly clean the inside of the defrost water drain hole in order
to guarantee the constant and correct flow of defrost water.
Defrosting the low temperature compartment
Defrost the low temperature compartment once or twice
a year or when the ice formation is excessive.
It is perfectly normal for ice to form. The amount of ice
which forms and the rate at which it accumulates will
depends on room temperature and humidity, and on the
frequency with which the door is opened. Ice formation is
concentrated at the top of the compartment and does not
affect the efficiency of the appliance.
If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty.
• Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in newspaper and
group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler.
• Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt.
• Clean the interior with a sponge soaked in warm water
and/or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive
substances.
• Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly.
• Put the food back into the freezer.
• Close the door.
• Plug in the appliance once again.
• Switch the appliance on.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Periodically clean air vents and the condenser at the rear of the
appliance with a vacuum cleaner or a brush.
• Clean the outside using a soft cloth.
Prolonged disuse
Empty the refrigerator.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Defrost and clean the interior.
In the event of prolonged disuse, leave the door open to
prevent the formation of mould, odours and oxidation.
5. Clean the appliance.
• Clean the inside of the low temperature compartment (where
fitted) when defrosting.
• Periodically clean the inside of the refrigerator compartment
with a sponge dampened in warm water and/or neutral
detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive
products.
• Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive products, scourers, stain-removers
(e.g. acetone, trichloroethylene) or vinegar.
