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».

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.

Freezing fresh food

The 4-star compartment is suitable for

long term storage of commercially frozen food,

and for freezing fresh food. Do not exceed the

storage times shown by the manufacturer on

the commercially frozen food packets.

Under normal circumstances, to freeze fresh

foods it is not necessary to change the setting

of the thermostat knob with respect to the

normal running position. Depress the ambient

switch at least 3 hours before loading food to be

frozen.

However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn

the thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but

remember that, in this condition, the

refrigerating compartment temperature might

drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset thermostat

knob to a warmer setting.

To help you make the most of the freezing

process, here are some important hints:

Place the food to be frozen in the top basket of

the freezing compartment as this is the coldest

part.

The maximum quantity of food which can be

frozen in 24 hrs is shown on the rating plate.

Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly

cleaned foodstuffs.

Prepare the fresh 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 at the time.

Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene

and make sure that the packages are airtight.

It is advisable to show on the single food packet

or on the write-on produce strips to be found on

the front part of the storage baskets the

freezing-in date to enable you to keep date of

the storage time.

On the rear of the door you will find a list of

foods followed by a number. These numbers

indicate the maximum period of time for which

the food in question may be conserved (in

months).

Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food

which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in

temperature of the latter.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.)

in the freezing compartment as they may burst.

Water ices, if consumed immediately after

removal from the freezing compartment, can

possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.

Remember that, once thawed, frozen food

deteriorates rapidly.

Storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this

appliance, we strongly recommend that you

make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer

and, furthermore, be sure that these frozen

foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to

the consumer in the shortest possible time (a

temperature increase of the frozen food could

shorten its storage period).
