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:
¥ ambient temperature
¥ number of times the door is opened
¥ quantity of food stored
¥ 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.
Positioning the door shelves
This model is equipped with a variable storage box
which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and
can be slid sideways.
For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom door
sheves can be easily removed and refitted in
position.
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.
The glass shelf above the vegetable drawers
and the bottle shelf should always remain in
position, to ensure correct air circulation.
Cleaning the interior
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 ÇOÈ (OFF)
to start the appliance.
Fresh food refrigeration
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for cooling
drinks and for normal food storing.
To obtain the best performance:
¥ do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator
¥ cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a
strong smell.
